following practices employees use in job crafting,(1) changing task boundaries, (2) changing cognitive task boundaries, and (3) changing relationalboundaries. Changing task boundaries is a job crafting technique where employees alter eitherthe type of task or the number of tasks at work. Employees alter their perspectives, thoughts, orbeliefs about their job when they change the cognitive task boundaries of their job. Further,employees change the relational boundaries of their jobs when they alter the nature of theirrelationships with others in a helpful way. The job crafting model has connections with jobdesign, meaning of work and social identity theories [10]. Recently, [15] leveraged the jobcrafting model conceptualized by Wrzesniewski and

Engineering educators have been reported to even gobeyond known techniques of experiential learning where they continue to seek pioneering andcaptivating experiential learning experiences to implement and to help students understandengineering concepts, simultaneously, while mastering related skills [1, 3, 4, 5]. In MechanicalEngineering, thermal-fluid courses are excellent candidates for the incorporation of experientiallearning to facilitate understanding of complex concepts through real tangible activities which canbe experienced by normal human senses like feeling heat from temperature increases or seeing fluidmotion and effects.

Grounded in Identity, research that is based on an identity framework (11 sources); 2.

There aretwo common approaches. One is a workshop-style course, which typically requires weekly classtime in addition to regular lectures [1]. The other one, which is a more common approach, is tooffer a bridge course before the semester starts, with duration from one-week long [2] to severalweeks [3-5]. For example, Cancado, Reisel, and Walker [3] examined the impact of a 4-weeksummer residential bridge program on engineering student retention. Students with low

In addition to encouraging retention and academic success inrigorous disciplines, summer bridge programs have a variety of goals related to academics, socialengagement, culture, and identity formation. A review spanning 25 years of literature on summerbridge programs identified 14 different types of goals and classified them into 3 broadcategories: 1) academic goals success such as enhancement of student knowledge of material andincreased graduation rate, 2) psychosocial goals such as improved sense of belonging and self-efficacy, and 3) department-level goals such as increasing recruitment into a specific disciplineand enhancing diversity [1].

The literature has examined the influence of identity on student retention [1],[2], interrogated the gendered nature of engineering identity formation [3], [4], andconceptualized leadership identity development within engineering education [5]. In recent years,we have seen increasing attention on the need to incorporate leadership development as part ofengineering education and to recognize engineering as a leadership profession [6]–[8].Accordingly, engineering leadership identity, for its assumed relationship with the practice anddevelopment of leadership, has been a recent focus within engineering education research [9]–[11].Through this study, we contribute to the

After the training, all the students whoparticipated in the training completed the post-course survey as well. The pre-survey resultsindicated that more than 50 percent of students are not familiar with the concepts of unconsciousbiases. The results of the McNemar test indicated that guided training related to unconsciousbiases significantly improves students' understanding of systemic racism and ways to addresssocial sustainability

As the structural condition of the bridge deteriorates withtime, its stiffness decreases while mass remains constant. Even if mass were to change, forexample due to an overlay, it can easily be quantified. Therefore, it follows that if the naturalfrequency is measured annually, the
