and career choicesamong students.Introduction Globally, there is a trend of students preferring computer-related majors within theSTEM fields, with enrollment rates surpassing those seen during the dot-com bubble of the late1990s [1, 2]. Furthermore, in East Asia, particularly in South Korea, the intense focus oneducation has led to an increasing number of students opting to study abroad due todissatisfaction with the domestic educational environment [3]. Alongside this trend, weconducted research to understand the background of Korean students’ decisions to studycomputer-related fields in the U.S. as well as their academic experiences after making thosechoices [4]. This qualitative case study explored how various factors, including

Majority of the engineering students taketheir discipline specific courses starting from sophomore year and experience heightenedchallenges because of the transition from foundational courses to more rigorous, disciplinespecific courses [1]. This is considered as the time when they often reevaluate their majorsbecause of the academic stress among other reasons [2]. Literature shows that student retention and success remain critical challenges in highereducation, particularly among underrepresented and first-generation college students [3]. Severalstudies have highlighted the importance of class groups or support groups in the academicperformance of students. [4] reported that collaborative learning in small

After teaching the course for 11 semesters, weidentified several challenges with the data literacy assignments: 1. The assignments did not have students create data visualizations, an important element of communicating about data. 2. The assignments had too many elements, resulting in students focusing on formulaic assignment elements while avoiding doing the critical thinking to make arguments with data. 3. Assignments developed to address the diversity of student backgrounds and experiences were not engaging to students and often required them to research and

Understanding the nature of the problem is a critical first step in the process, providing the foundation for all subsequent efforts. Without a solid understanding of the problem, students cannot develop effective strategies to address it [3]. Students are encouraged to focus on relevant tasks and create significant connections between newly acquired information and their prior understanding of the task [4]. The accuracy of the solution in engineering problem-solving heavily depends on students’ capability to actively monitor and assess their involvement in the problem. The process of monitoring and evaluation constitutes a crucial aspect of self-regulation
