-learning systems [21]. To assess students’learning styles, this study used the Visual, Aural, Read/Write, or Kinesthetic (VARK) learningstyles inventory which is a questionnaire consists of 16 items used to assess the respondent’slearning style [21]. The study also used the Dixion scale to measure students’ engagement usingthe adaptive or non-adaptive e-learning system; this scale includes the factors of skills,participation/interaction, performance, and emotion [21]. This study found that students wholearned through the adaptive system learned more, reflected by their engagement scale responsesand overall course outcomes. While this study does not model the relationship between students’learning styles and intentions to use, has a small sample

incorporated into the class to help students toaddress these questions. The lab experimentation provided students with a hands-on opportunity to assess the biological impact of various biomaterials. Through thisexperiment, students gained practical skills in experimental design, data analysis,and interpretation, fostering a deeper understanding of biomaterials beyondtheoretical concepts. The inclusion of ethical considerations in the biomaterialcurriculum was addressed through a debate. This encouraged students to reflect onthe societal implications of biomaterials research, fostering a sense of responsibilityand ethical awareness among future practitioners.The study employed both qualitative and quantitative assessment methods,including pre- and post

The FYED course already introduces students to social styles, andthis information is often used in teaming. The instructional team could consider whether thisexercise could be modified to introduce other diversity characteristics and specifically addressneurodivergence and potentially mental health issues.

This commitment to a shift in the educationalapproach within MSE departments is highlighted in the strategic plan of the National Scienceand Technology Council’s Materials Genome Initiative, which posits that the next generation ofthe MSE workforce will need to master three competencies: experimentation, data management,and computation [4].MSE educators have worked to construct educational offerings that develop competencies in theareas identified by the Materials Genome Initiative.

This question was derived from previous work that quantitatively exploredundergraduate engineering identity and recognition beliefs [11] and specifically uses thephrasing “see you as an engineer” to keep questions in the participants’ language [37]. The open-ended nature of the focus groups allowed for follow-up questions and permitted researchers togather rich details about participants’ experiences to go beyond whether they do or do notbelieve others saw them as an engineer and to better explore the qualities of experiences that ledto these beliefs.

Attempting to figure out howbest to convey a topic in a novel manner is a very difficult task when you have never doneanything like this before. Making sure each game is unique and also does not detract from thelesson is a difficult balancing act. In addition, many classes are limited in the amount of time thatcan be spent on instructing how best to play the game at the expense of the time that can beallotted to playing said games.In addition, games have a habit of “running

partially focused ontesting or proving that all three domains are connected in the overall learning process -- they areconnected [17]. It found all the domains to be correlated when evaluating students’ learning,meaning more research should be conducted on how to better connect all three domains in a classstructure for deeper understanding, the rest of their findings predominately relate to the affectiveand psychomotor domain [17]. This idea is directly echoed in another report finding that all threedomains need to be intentionally integrated into a class for more effective learning [10]. This ideathat the domains are connected is reflected in the fact that many studies focus on two domains ata time instead of only one domain at a time [4-5], [10
