Students found to be more confident through position-of-stress surveys administered later in the academic term were found to be more positive about theirfuture in a world more influenced by artificial intelligence. The figures below show this result. Figure 1. Boxplots for the confidence levels. Figure 2.

The students saw a demonstration of the modules and were able to manipulate the labs aswell. At the end of the visit, the students responded to a survey of attitudes toward the use of VLand career goals. The results indicate positive impacts of the experience. Specifically, students:  gained knowledge about engineering from the VL lessons  were able to understand and perform the VL lessons

To reach this goal, weare working with elementary pre and in-service teachers in rural and reservation communities touse ethnographic methods to connect local funds of knowledge with classroom curriculum. Morespecifically, the first phase (current phase) is on training participating teachers, whereas thesecond phase will be on supporting their implementation of the engineering curricula.

The matching would be based on mentor and Pod-members’ career directions and experiences, and more generally on their life stories, challenges,and accomplishments.The student designers have continued to interact with each other in what they refer to as a“superpod” (both because it is larger than a typical pod and because it includes representativesfrom

In other words, students make judgments about whatclass experiences are important and how they should engage with these experiences. Thisjudgment is based on the physical classroom space [10], [18], as well as external factors andstudent characteristics such as their underlying beliefs about learning, career goals, andeducational experiences to date [9], [29]. Based on their prior experiences, students may frame aroom with chairs and front-facing tables as an indication that the class will mostly be lecture, andtheir role will be to listen passively.

Of primaryconcern are both discipline-specific skills and knowledge (e.g., mathematics), as well as moregeneral, non-discipline-specific self-efficacy and metacognitive knowledge and skills.Metacognition, often defined as “thinking about thinking,” is primarily about knowing,understanding, monitoring, and controlling one’s cognitive processes, leading to altered andideally more productive behaviors [9] – [13].
