Understanding the nuancedexperiences of grief among women in academia, especially those in STEM, is crucial fordeveloping tailored support systems and a more inclusive and supportive academic environment.Coping StrategiesCoping is defined as the cognitive and behavioral ways that an individual responds tochallenging circumstances [68]. Everyone copes differently with grief due to differences andvaried life experiences, and there are evidently many ways that individuals can respond to grief,as reflected in the BRIEF COPE questionnaire, a 28-item survey that contains 14 sub-scales tocapture various coping strategies[69]. These are: active coping, planning, positive reframing,acceptance

A simple revision could help: “Increasing congestion, even as the highway network continued to grow in subsequent decades, led to the realization that adding capacity, while useful for a period of time, was not a long-term solution.”465 Criteria #3 Incorporate induced travel in problem sets.466 Teaching materials should be consistent with engineering’s signature pedagogy. That is, they467 should include problem sets and equations.

this paper,only Steps 1-3 and 6-8 will be used. However, statics can only be applied to a staticallydeterminate problem. For example, the proposed process can solve statically indeterminateproblems (internally and externally) when Steps 1 to 8 are used.A structured problem-solving approach is used in statics book [6] with the following steps: RoadMap, Modeling, Governing Equations, Computation, and Discussion and Verification.Furthermore, the statics [3] and mechanics of materials [16] textbooks use the SMART problem-solving methodology, i.e., Strategy, Modeling, Analysis, and Reflect and Think. Both are like theapproach used in this paper. A significant difference is that this paper formulates all equationssymbolically, and then the unknowns

It allows students with diversebackgrounds and perspectives to come together and understand the subject material holisticallyand comprehensively. Working in a team encourages students to exchange ideas, expertise, andbest practices, which helps them learn from one another and not only from the teaching staff.When students work on programming assignments in a team, it allows students to peer reviewtheir team members’ code. Peer evaluation and feedback help improve the work’s overall qualityand also reflects developers’ workflow in real-world software development projects.

Our analysis revealed that the gender-based differences in peer ratings arepredominantly associated with White raters.

The difference being thatlecture based teaching tends to focus on theory and strict processes, limiting students to findingone particular ‘right’ answer. Active learning methods, such as flipped-classrooms,think-pair-share activities, and case study reflections, push students to defy their normalcognitive boundaries of what engineering “is” [9, 10]. This education method can ease the oftenfrustrating transition that seniors experience during capstone design courses where students areexpected to translate isolated concepts learned in classrooms to suddenly very technicallycomplex projects [11].

arealso largely unfamiliar and uncomfortable with the need to provide explanations and reasoning inproblem solving. Homework and classroom problems typically require students to calculatenumerical values and rarely ask students to connect their answers to conceptual understanding, orto reflect on their implications. Thus, being able to solve textbook problems may not necessarilyindicate deep learning of the subject matter.Senior high school students routinely confuse the concepts of quality and quantity of energy (Ben-Zvi [10]). “Concept inventories” have been widely used in gauging students’ conceptualunderstanding in engineering education. In thermodynamics, concept inventories that focused onthe properties and behavior of matter, work, heat
