minoritization offemale students and some ethnicities/races, especially Black and Hispanics, in computing fields isan important topic that has garnered attention within universities and programs (Digest ofEducation Statistics).This shortage of computing professionals and the disparities between groups has made educationresearchers more reflective about strategies to attract and retain more students in computing fields,so as to keep pace with industry demands [6]. The persistence of students who have a contact in agiven program is a promising place to consider, because it not only includes the students whomatriculated in a computing discipline, but it also includes transferred students in addition to theones who ever showed interest in that program

given the NILA’s leadership framework and curriculum focus onthe development in these areas. The average mean for leadership self-efficacy increased from 4.0to 4.3. The increase was significant, and it shows that NILA had a measurable positive effect.Nevertheless, the effect may or may not be sustainable. Most of the change was explained by thelower values (pre-test minimum=2.6, post-test minimum=3.0), which is reflected in a smallerstandard deviation for the post-survey. This shows that the effect may be larger for those whocome in with lower self-efficacy than those who are already confident in their abilities. While thesample size was small, the EFA analysis is statistically significant to tentatively support ourhypothesis. However, this can

This diversity in how students aim to utilize theirBME degree may reflect diversity in their motivation to study BME, their educationalexpectations, and even their perception of the field [2], [4]. Understanding the relationshipbetween these factors would allow BME programs, at both the curricular and individual courselevels, to better balance students’ interests and

The students were also asked to verify and report their obtained values against thosereported in the literature as much as possible. Additionally, the students were also asked toidentify the sources of error in their experimental model that would have resulted in deviations(if any) of their calculated friction coefficient values. Majority of the students (greater than 90%)were able to report values and reflect upon their results and the deviations they observed.Considering that this is not a controlled laboratory experiment where all the equipment andparameters are strictly controlled, the simple experimental models built by the students workedquite well to

information registered in a multidimensional code [6, 7].The term episodic reflects its capacity to hold integrated episodes that extend both spatially andtemporally. It is a buffer because it offers a multidimensional code that allows information fromdifferent subsystems to be integrated and linked to LTM. Such a multidimensional capacity tendsto be computationally demanding, hence the buffer's limited capacity [8]. The buffer is assumedto be controlled by the CE, using conscious awareness as an effective retrieval strategy [9-11].The episodic buffer's prominent feature is information chunking. Chunking is where storagecapacity increases by integrating several disparate features into a single whole [12]. The episodicbuffer involves the more complex
