This is one area ofproblem solving that sets the engineering students and engineering professionals apart frommany other disciplines.

Motivated by prior research showing that creativity isdriven largely by specific curiosity (1) and that positive project outcomes are correlated with thesense of ownership (2), we proposed and delivered a 10-week intensive (40 hours/week) summerprogram to undergraduate students majoring in STEAM. We recruited from a diverse pool ofapplicants (64 undergraduate applicants from 14 different majors). The selected cohort included10 undergraduates, 3 high school students, and one graduate assistant. The diversity in majors(Biology, Computer Science, Bioengineering, Game design, Psychology
, self-efficacy, and engagement significantly decrease [6].Meanwhile, self-efficacy, which is described as the confidence that someone has in his or herability to complete a specific task has been linked to students’ performance, such that studentswith higher self-efficacy perform better and vice-versa [2], [15], [16], [25]. This necessitates thateducators take measures that could enhance the students’ self-efficacy. Also, the perceivedvalue, which is described as students’ anticipated benefits and sacrifices with respect to theoutcome of using educational tools or services has been said to have the ability to maximize theperformance of a teaching method [1], [9]. This is because it is correlated with students’motivation and performance [10
they outperformed male student. This finding was consistent acrossall institutional settings. Students also had difficulty providing essential and correct explanations for phenomena,even when they provide the correct response, regardless of institutional setting or gender identity. Finally, there alsoappears to be no correlation between performance, confidence, and question effectiveness.1.

The mistake and its correction form amemorable narrative, a story of what was wrong but was made right. This is anecdotally reportedin tutoring sessions, where concepts mastered quickly often fade, but those which requiredcorrection persist in a student’s memory. To scale this concept beyond 1:1 tutoring sessions,multiple authors have reported on assigning students to retake tests, often in teams or as a take-home exam (Felder et al., 2000; Fengler & Ostafichuk, 2015; Nease et al., 2021).

Learning data such as grades andself-reported information from surveys were analyzed through binomial logistical regressionanalysis to determine their ability to predict student success in Statics. The goal was to develop amethod of identifying students who would be at risk of failing the course based on historicallypredictive indicators of student learning and invite “at-risk” students to join the recitation courseearly in the semester. The impact of recitation was then determined by comparing the passingrate of at-risk students who registered for recitation with those who did not take the recitationcourse.

Toequip students with important design skills, design education has adopted project-based coursesthat require students to tackle open-ended problems [2]. However, despite the changes in thecurriculum, studies have indicated the challenges of teaching students how to innovate [3], [4].Engineers engage in concept generation in design, which

Yet, team behaviors can impact teameffectiveness both directly [2], [3] and by influencing other team dynamics such as teamcreativity [4], team learning behavior [5], and team psychological safety [5]. Further, teambehaviors can impact the individuals on the team; sense of belonging, for example, is affected byteam behaviors [6].Sense of belonging and psychological safety are important factors to consider on engineeringdesign teams, especially as we work to create more inclusive and equitable

Elements of the culture and courses atDartmouth that were identified by Craemer’s study [1] to promote interest in engineering amongundergraduate students who identify as women included the use of a collaborative problem-solving approach, flexibility in the curriculum, focus on real-world problems with socialsignificance, and the interdisciplinary nature

We find that a larger portion of peer inquiry that is delivered in writtenform in asynchronous critiques is composed of generative design questions, which serve toexpand the design space, and which have been previously found to be highly valued by designteams. Our findings serve to not only evaluate the effectiveness of the written, asynchronousapproach to design critiques, but also support a discussion on how some of its features can beuseful even when in-person peer design critiques are feasible.1. IntroductionDesign critiques are an effective design pedagogy in which students engage in conversationswith
