gender ratio and group size on both female and male-identifyingstudents is crucial for creating an optimal learning environment for the entire class. AtBinghamton University, only about 26% of undergraduate engineering students identify aswomen, highlighting the need for this research.In a 2020 article in the International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning, Al Mulhimet al. extensively explored how group size directly impacts student success in projects and finalgrades. The study compared large groups (7-8 people) and smaller groups (3-4 people), findingthat students generally perceived larger groups more positively and tended to perform better.However, the paper emphasizes that other underlying factors contribute to the success

Despite their significance, materials science as a field is often introduced later inengineering education – generally in the second year of university studies, following first-yeargeneral engineering courses.
