The paper concludes with implications andrecommendations for researchers to develop hands-on interventions.IntroductionAcross numerous studies, researchers have examined how gender impacts achievementmotivation and its influence on educational and occupational choices [1]–[5]. These studiesutilized achievement motivation theories to understand why men and women pursue differentcareer paths. In recent years, there has been significant progress toward achieving genderequality in academic achievement across different educational levels.Nevertheless, women continue to be significantly underrepresented, particularly in STEM fields,according to the National Science Foundation's

global, sociotechnical issues through engineering and to increaserepresentation and inclusion in engineering.IntroductionModern global issues (e.g., accessibility, climate change, health/pandemic, racism) are complex,systemic, sociotechnical problems, and the problem-solving skills of engineers are necessary toaddress these issues. Further, because engineering occurs within systems of social inequalities,politics, and social hierarchies, engineering students must have opportunities to consider thesesocial aspects of engineering [1]. Without exposure to unpacking inequalities, engineers mayperpetuate oppression, marginalization, and other forms of social inequalities [2]. Undergraduateengineering education then needs to train and empower

As such, inefforts to stave off attrition from graduate programs, engineering graduate students’ self-efficacyin the academic and research domains have received much attention from researchers [3], [4].

The TMCT allows all persons, including BLV populations,access to a tool that can quantify spatial ability. To increase the TMCT’s utility, the originalformat of the 25-question TMCT was split into two subtests (A & B), each containing 12questions. In 2021, the TMCT’s reliability in measuring spatial constructs of rotation, cuttingplane, and proportion in BLV populations was found to be good [1].

There are numerous methods to improve the design of a pingpong robot. One of the best methods to build a ping pong robot is to use readily available materialsthat can be quickly replicated and scaled up.A PVC pipe is the most essential mechanism for keeping a steady stream of ping pong balls. ThePVC piping can handle a variety of sizes. A ping pong ball is typically 40 millimeters (mm) in size[2]. The PVC that would suit the average ping pong ball size is 1.5" PVC piping with an insidediameter of 41.27 mm [3]. This permits any mistakes that occur

For Harvey & Green [1], the notion of quality can beunderstood as exceptional (special, very high standard), as perfection (no-defects), as fitnessfor purpose (meets requirements, fulfills objectives), as value for money (efficiency), and astransformative (qualitative change). Furthermore, quality in HE is linked to regulatoryframeworks and monitoring processes [2].
