They are creative in defining labs that reflect theirindividual viewpoint on the learning objectives which benefit from hands-on experience. Thelab assignments currently being created by a faculty are independent of text books. Text bookpublishers have an opportunity to provide pre-configured labs which map to the text. One likelyreason that faculty has this unsatisfied desire/need is that it would reduce its work load.It is interesting to note that many traditional science degree programs like biology, chemistry

The following is anexemplar statement from Participant 2’s final reflective writing: The [program] has encouraged me to adopt a more empathetic and student-centered approach. Recognizing the psychological and emotional dimensions of student learning has led me to consider how academic policies and teaching practices can sometimes inadvertently contribute to student stress and disengagement. This shift towards a more empathetic pedagogy aims to create a learning environment that fosters student well- being and academic engagement.Participant 2 also described an actionable plan for his intended practices for providing feedbackto future students: I am

Themeans for all sub-groups were higher than 5.2 (out of 6), and the qualitative analysis yieldedmany statements about the positive effect of co-op experiences. Students stated that workingaround other engineers and being recognized as an engineer by others had a large impact on theirconfidence, identity as an engineer, and sense of belonging. This aligns with previous work onthe value of developing students’ identity and belonging to an engineering community [11], [12].This quantitative analysis of survey responses showed no difference between the

Since then, this framework hasbeen critiqued, modified, and heavily adopted into the health sciences and psychology fields [1],[5], [6]. While there are slightly varying definitions of this type of literature review, the mainessence is to capture the “extent, range, and nature of research activity” [4, p. 21]. In otherwords, the “breadth” of the research topic with varying degrees of depth in its literature.

A mathematical model focuses on structural characteristics (rather than, for example, physical or musical characteristics) of the relevant systems” [14, p. 10]The evolution of these models is not linear but occurs through iterative development cycles [16,17, 18].

LimitationsOne limitation of the current study is that only one of the authors coded each data set ofqualitative responses (one for Group 1 and one for Group 2). A more rigorous coding practicewhich reduces bias [23] is for multiple coders to examine each data set, but unfortunately IRBlimitations prevented the authors from examining each other’s student responses. Since the solecoder of each data set was also an author of this study, as well as the instructor of the studiedcourse(s), there is an avenue for biases related to their classroom experience impacting theircoding choices.
