The differencebetween women and men’s mean scores is consistently positive across all twenty screenerquestions, indicating that women consistently felt greater levels of stress about home life, career,physical health, mental health, and academics compared to the men. In general, the mean scoreswere highest, for both men and women, for academic related prompts.To better understand these differences, t-tests were performed for every item with the nullhypothesis that the two population means are equal.

workshops were designed to help students think more creatively in their class projectsand practice a growth mindset [14] through short exercises demonstrating cognitive biases,barriers, and traps that prevent people from finding creative, novel solutions to problems.Thereby, we hope that students would be less likely to fall into these traps. According to a recentstudy by Burnette et al. [15], students in a growth mindset intervention, relative to the control,reported greater entrepreneurial self-efficacy and task persistence on their main class project andimprovement in their academic and career interests. Reducing the negative effect of the cognitivebiases, barriers and traps requires deliberate and repeated practice of CPS techniques. Althoughwe

This indicated that students might want more networking not only out of a desire toadvance their own careers, but also to help each other. By adding more time for it, it would alsohopefully help students feel like others rely on them, which on a higher level ties them morestrongly to community.

However, when switching the fluid to water, the property values are emphasizedover the relationships due to the complex relationships hidden behind the steam tables. Therelationships between the various properties is not obvious with the presence of phase change(e.g. boiling) occurring within typical engineering conditions. As a result, students often fail todevelop an intuitive understanding of water property relations. Later in engineering careers,the intuitive deficiency can manifest itself through an over reliance on the computer generatedmodels. Therefore, there is a need to emphasize property relations
