One of the challenges includes engaging in a newacademic environment [2] and the academic challenges that come alongside that. Thesechallenges can be discipline-specific and are often unaddressed by the larger school-wide supportsystems. For example, understanding where to get tutoring support for specific technical classesor the differences between laboratory and lecture-based courses. Discipline-specific academicadvisors do offer this support to students, but many international students aren’t sure whatsupport they should be seeking in terms of academic items.

Thus,the sheer scale of traditional engineering work with sometimes rare interactions with theindividuals most impacted may make empathy (and perhaps by extension kindness) moredifficult among engineering in comparison to professions like medicine (e.g., doctors meetingwith single patients). Thus, the notion of ‘care’ may be more applicable to the engineeringprofession in the context of this broader impact of our work, while kindness is more relevant inengineering education as we interact with individual students.The hidden curriculum through engineering courses that do not seem to embody kindness orcaring might convey to

The instrument assesses participants’ relatedness (Q1 — Q8), perceived 5 competence (Q9 — Q11), and interest or enjoyment (Q12) while performing a given activity, 6 thus yielding three subscale scores.

value of writing as a tool for uncovering a student’s misconceptionshas been noted in other disciplines such as the medical field [21]. Unfortunately, grading andproviding feedback to students on their written work is time consuming. This burden on instructortime may be a factor why, beyond common written works such as laboratory reports, courses suchas electric circuit analysis or statics and dynamics are almost exclusively computation based. Theauthors of this paper do not suggest eliminating computation problems in gateway STEM courses,but rather to complement such problems with conceptual writing exercises as such exercises maybe the key to effecting conceptual change particularly in the case of robust misconceptions.The remainder of this
