This work investigates the effects ofCOVID-19-related educational and work environment changes on the development of expertise,decision-making, and intuition in early-career engineering practitioners (fewer than six years ofpost-baccalaureate experience).Expertise is a status held by those who have a large accumulation of knowledge that is leveragedfor quick decision-making, making connections between concepts, and quickly referencingrelevant information [3]. Becoming an expert is thus a combination of collecting knowledge andgaining the ability to use it through

Well supportedacademic makerspaces provide students with open access to resources that help them developtheir problem-solving skills, provide opportunities for collaboration, increase self-efficacy, anddevelop sense of belonging [2] [3]. Sense of belonging generally relates to self-perceptions of fitwithin a given context [4] [5] and has the ability to positively impact academic achievement andpersistence in STEM [6] [7] [8].

A survey was distributed toengineering students at a mid-sized, MidAtlantic University that included Marra’s 2005self-efficacy instrument and also asked about participants’ quality and quantity of friendshipswith fellow engineering students. The survey found that the number of studying friends yieldedthe highest self-efficacy scores among engineering students, while factors such as GPA, gender,and major homophily had little to no effect on

Encouraging invention, innovation, andan entrepreneurial mindset helps students become more self-determined and contributes tostudents’ acquiring the skills needed to shape their own future [1].Students’ sense of belonging, psychological safety, and decision-making processes about theirfuture often align with their interests and curiosity, but anxiety can negatively influence theseperceptions.

Students' Performance and Beliefs about MathematicsInquiry-oriented (IO) instruction is one of many inductive teaching approaches that relies heavilyon active student learning. However, there are key features that distinguish IO instruction fromactive learning in other classrooms. Traditionally, if students actively participate in a universitymathematics class, it is after an instructor has presented key concepts and procedures. That is,their engagement is that of practice. In an IO classroom, however, students are expected toreinvent mathematics in their quest to solve real-world problems [1]. Therefore, the applicationsprecede and motivate, rather than follow, the theory.In an IO course, students are presented with novel problems; they are not

In addition, workers in STEM earn on average 26% more than those who are notemployed in STEM fields [2]. Despite the large benefits of a STEM career, growth of STEMemployment has plateaued, and many individuals leave those fields after joining [3]. In addition,there is a significant gap between men and women working in STEM-related fields, with menoutpacing women. One potential factor in this gap can be attributed to self-efficacy.A student’s self-efficacy refers to a “Judgement about one’s ability to organize and execute thecourses of action necessary to attain a specific goal” [4, p. 1
