complicated. • I think all the project simulations were as helpful as they could be during these circum- stances. • I think it would still be a challenge for the hands-on experience because of the virtual learning we must use. However, I do feel once we are allowed to go back to school, we will be able to have a much better and improved experience with these projects.From the survey responses collected from the participants, it is evident that many students ex-pressed a better understanding of engineering discipline when the course was offered in virtualmode. These responses do not necessarily reflect the enhanced learning experiences in the virtualmode because only 66% responded favorably rated their experiences compared to 79

Engineering”, Alonso [11] studied how engineering identities intersect with other identities. This study brings another element to the framework of Intersectionality - the individual’s perception and a peer’s perception of them being identified as an engineer. To clarify, we are not only observing if the individual identifies as an engineer but how that reflection compares to them feeling they are being portrayed as an engineer within their community. It is a matter of discerning which factors contribute to these identities and which factors dissociate the student with that identity. Through our study, it was apparent that this identity could be solidified by being established prior to attending college. Rincon [5] states [that] “...expressing early

Additionally,because each platform implements rapid development methodologies differently, there can beinconsistencies and some expected feature sets do not always come out-of-the-box (OOTB) [11].RAD is most prevalently used in commercial applications because projects are “schedule intenseand require amalgamate set of team members” [9]. These requirements are the same for capstonedesign courses [2], [3] and research-centric projects. Further research suggests that whenpresented with the same set of independent software variables to examine, student developers’analysis is statistically similar to that of professional industry developers [12], indicating thatstudent behavior is reflective of developer behavior in industry.

In the area ofanalyzing feedback surveys, Dhanalakshmi et al. [16] used a supervising learning approach topredict the polarity of student responses (a common framing of a sentiment analysis task). Ofcourse, these models also have several potential limitations such as inadvertently introducingbias and reflecting unintentional differences across groups [17], [18].In engineering education, there have been limited applications of NLP on either the research orteaching side.

Transfer is also aided by reflection, which is often incorporatedinto problem-based learning. In brief it is worth considering that in disciplines like engineeringwhere addressing contingencies in practice is important knowledge matters, but experience maymatter more. Ultimately, we become what we do so techniques such as cases, simulations, andPBL allow students to gain experiences with applying contingent knowledge.

I couldhave listed inhibiting factors, but perhaps accentuating the positive is preferable as wellas more intuitive (higher scores reflect greater desirability).

Thus, the UPRM student population reflects amore ingrained sense of collectivism. Meanwhile, the mainland score of 91 represents anindividualist society, where people expect to take care of themselves. On the contrary, MSUstudent population scores align with the characteristics of a more collectivist culture.The analysis by gender revealed that female students reported a score lower than the generalpopulation at both institutions, with 33.98 for MSU and 36.31 for UPRM.

to have high totals when the impacts weresummed. The authors’ reasoning of these hypotheses comes from observations seen in actualstudent teams within the IBL class. Teams in which students have similar end goals and worktogether on their projects often progress further in their learning and achieve project outcomeswith high impact. Teams that lacked innovative goals and did not work well together often hadlearning outcomes with low impact. As shown in Table 1, there is a moderate correlationbetween the team’s innovative impact and the team’s progress across all group sizes. Theseresults reflect the author’s hypotheses, suggesting that multiple students on the team need to havesimilar innovative impact inputs to reach higher progression

activitiespromoted ‘connectedness’ among SCOAM students and motivated students to work hard andcomplete their coursework.Small Group Activities and Monthly MeetingsStudents were asked to participate in 3 small group activities each semester. In cross-generational groups (i.e., freshman, upper classman, graduate student), students were asked toseek out and attend activities on campus or create their own social event. The purpose ofattendance at these activities was to encourage relationships between members of the cohort andto foster a sense of ‘belonging.’ After attending an activity, students were required to postpictures and a reflection on SCOAM’s online learning management platform. At least one ofthese activities had to focus on a social issue
