creativity is essential for addressingcomplex modern problems. The discussion includes the contributions of E. Paul Torrance, a pioneer increativity research, whose work emphasizes that creativity can be nurtured and developed in students.Relevant educational frameworks are briefly reviewed. Drawing on their experience in teaching courseslike Creative (Product) Design and Capstone Design, the authors outline strategies for fostering creativitywithin engineering education. These strategies include collaborative reasoning, project-based learning, andthe application of creative tools such as brainstorming and ideation notebooks. While many engineeringschools have embraced this approach, others must adopt it to prepare students for the challenges of

The motivation of this paper was a quantitative study that produced resultsmisaligned with SCCT and a follow-up qualitative study of the same population that usedPVEST to explore underlying reasons. While empirical studies generally support the SCCTmodel (i.e., mathematics self-efficacy is correlated positively with mathematics performance[2]), research with minoritized youth is much less consistent [3], [4], [5], [6]. For example, Blackstudents had higher mathematics self-efficacy compared to White, Hispanic, or Asian peers, butthat did not translate to performance [7], [8].

Attrition is a multi-variant phenomenon that requiresimproving students’ life and learning experiences. An extensive body of research identifies severalmechanisms to promote students to persist and graduate. Promoting retention in a college settingis attributed to (i) effective and personalized advising; (ii) a social and academic supportiveenvironment; and (iii) an atmosphere that fosters collaborative and cooperative teaching andlearning.
