Identity, Rural Identity and Teacher Mindset, and, lastly, Teaching Perceptions and Computational Thinking. Qualitative data collected through reflective journals provide information on teachers’ backgrounds and teaching experiences, as well as anticipated professional growth. Following training, the findings show that rural teachers reported positive changes in their identities and teaching competencies and are more likely to advocate for more students to take computer science courses. Teachers in rural areas also showed a marked improvement in confidence and commitment to teaching computer science.1 IntroductionComputer science (CS) education gained significant attention after the publication of aconcerning

IntroductionMental health challenges among college students have become a growing concern for institutionsof higher education. These challenges, which include anxiety, depression, and other mentalhealth conditions (MHC) [1], significantly impact students' academic performance and retention[2]. Despite the availability of resources and support services, many students remain reluctant toseek help due to stigma and other barriers [3]. This reluctance to seek help is particularlypronounced in engineering students, who face unique challenges stemming from the

IntroductionIn recent years, the field of engineering has witnessed a surge in full-time undergraduateenrollment, marking a growing interest in this pivotal discipline [1]. However, within thispromising trend, a disheartening reality persists. A significant number of students either transferout of engineering majors or leave the university before graduation. The dropout rates withinengineering programs continue to be a matter of critical concern, with graduation ratesstagnating at a persistently low rate (50% in the United States) over the past six decades [2, 3].This issue highlights a pressing challenge within engineering education that extends beyond highenrollment numbers.While

Unlike static models, digital twins allow two-way interaction between the physical anddigital worlds. This makes it possible to run simulations, monitor systems in real time, and predict futureperformance. For instance, a mechanical engineering student could use a digital twin to test how stressaffects a structure, while an electrical engineering student might explore how circuits behave underdifferent loads.
