In the most recent year, 82 projects were submitted, with 8 rejected for variousreasons (e.g., missing sections of the application). The final 74 were posted online, and the studentapplication portal was then opened.

junioryear, students apply the engineering design process to explore a problem of their interest. Overthis semester, each team crafts a problem statement, conducts market research, creates detailedspecifications, performs a feasibility study, evaluates alternative approaches, and pitches theiridea to a panel of peers and faculty advisors. The teams also write a series of project reports, anda panel of faculty advisors evaluates and provides detailed feedback on these reports. Thecapstone sequence is inspired by an entrepreneurial funding model, so student teams areguaranteed a set minimum amount of funds and compete for shares of a finite pool of additionalfunds.Occasionally, teams determine that their proposal is not feasible within the constraints

. Teams are formed depending on the class sizes. Assessments: There are weekly graphics assignments, quizzes, and four midterm exams. For the project, students are required to develop conceptual and technical design reviews. Weekly activities include discussion posts on technical and communication topics related to the design project. Peer evaluations are conducted via Purdue’s CATME Peer-Evaluation tool three times during a semester and serve as a measure of teamwork. Technical writing is considered a critical piece in the project documentation. Project deliverables such as oral presentations, design reviews, peer evaluations, and prototype testing are used to assess student learning objectives.Challenges due to COVID-19Higher Education

These factors, and more, maycontribute to low participation rates of undergraduate students participating in research. Forexample, from Spring 2019 to 2020 only 3.3% of mechanical engineering (ME) undergraduateswere enrolled in independent research at UC Berkeley, an R1 institution.Figure 1 illustrates one common pathway to becoming an undergraduate research scientist, wherean essential first step is being aware of research areas. Students may discover research areasthrough peer and family networks [3] or technical electives. Once students have identified theirresearch interest, they can begin seeking research positions through informal methods such as

While not all students will have been exposed to OOPprior to the first quantum computing course, the faculty already have developed a framework fora simulator and will guide the students to write the code for selected methods. Faculty will alsoprovide a basic introduction to the OOP features of the Python programming language. Thestudents will work in interdisciplinary teams, where the CS students will be helpful in guidingtheir peers in this area. Thus, previous knowledge of OOP will not be necessary.

abottleneck. This thus leads to the advice to mentees to cultivate multiple mentoringrelationships [16]. The foundation behind such advice is to solicit and value multipleperspectives, which can help identify alternative pathways and options for the mentee[17]. Such feedback can come in informal, short sessions or longer, more formalizedmeetings. Collectively, these newer models of mentoring include “multiple ‘mentoringpartners’ in non-hierarchical, collaborative, cross-cultural partnerships to address specificareas of faculty activity” [17]. Women and faculty with underrepresented identities mayespecially benefit from peer-mentoring and cross-mentoring [18].

Student responses reveal three major findings. In both classes, a higherpercentage of females reported that their sense of belonging in engineering was positivelyimpacted by the class they were enrolled in compared to their male peers. In addition, a greaterpercentage of both male and female students in the sociotechnical class responded that theirsense of belonging had been positively affected by the class relative to males and females in thetechnical class, with the increase more pronounced for female students.

The literature related to strengths-based educationsuggests that incorporation of student strengths into the learning environment may enhancestudent engagement and motivation [16], [17]. For neurodivergent students, such as those withADHD, who may struggle to maintain interest and motivation within the traditional classroom, astrengths-based approach may be particularly impactful. Schreiner [18] writes that “strengths-oriented teaching recognizes the talents students bring to the learning environment and usesthose talents as the foundation for
