Are there differences in academic motivation towards the online gamified homework portal based on gender? 2. What effects does gender have on submission behavior in an online gamified homework portal?MethodsThis study was completed using data from the spring 2019 semester of a first-year engineeringdesign course. The first-year engineering design course covers topics including commonly usedengineering tools, statistics, economics, engineering ethics, and product development. Thecourse involves in-person interactive class sessions but has additional coursework that iscompleted outside of class time such as online textbook questions

Iknow their work ethic is working in groups, so I hope to bring to the table the communicationskills I developed through mentoring into those groups.”While mentors and mentees agreed that the PINC mentoring program successfully created anenvironment of open communication, they noted times when

analytical thinking pervades engineering design activities,the integration of the performance of components and sub-systems is vital to the success of allbut the simplest design problems. Consequently, the role of systems thinking is vital in solvingcomplex engineering design challenges while simultaneously considering environmental issues,safety, ethical implications, and economic factors [11]. Systems thinking permits students “tobreak out of the narrow definition of a problem and reflect on the relevant systems and how theyaffect, and in turn are affected by, new and improved technologies” [12]. By integrating systemsthinking experiences into early engineering design challenges, students may become moreexcited about engineering, while learning

Performative autoethnography views the personal as inherently political, focuses on bodies-in-context as co-performative agents in interpreting knowledge, and holds aesthetic crafting of research as an ethical imperative of representation.

Teachers’ awareness of students’ cultures can betterequip them to interact with diverse students [12]. The plurality in culturally responsive teachingtheory reflects cultural synergies within the class, developed from the notion that race, class,culture, ethnicity, and gender shape the diverse students’ learning styles, requiring multipleinstructional strategies for the common learning outcomes [12]. Therefore, cultural synergies canbe viewed from three aspects.

In most recent years, service-learning research is increasing as the number of highereducation institutions implementing new programs expands. One benefit of service-learning forstudents is the development of personal self-efficacy through community service (Reeb, Folger,Langsner, Ryan, & Crouse, 2010). Service-learning is significant as women in STEM majorsreported lower levels of leader efficacy than women in non-STEM majors (Dugan et al., 2013).Other researchers argue additional gains include social justice, ethics, and civility (Britt, 2012;Harkavy & Hartley, 2010
