Academic caring deals with studentsbelieving that their instructor cares about their academic success.4,5 The benefit of a gamifiedlearning environment is that feedback is given to students throughout their participation to letthem know if they are doing well, or what areas should be improved upon.

It is important to note that students were able to make multipleselections for this particular survey question. That said, while a large majority ofprogressing students were confident in their success in the program, only one studentreported the coursework being easy. Therefore, this confidence is likely not a product ofease of training but of something else internal, the most likely reason being good workethic. In addition, it may also be surmised that the

Theexperience of participating in MIH helps students develop their professional identity andconfidence, which can be especially valuable for students who struggle in the traditionalengineering classroom.The combination of the mentoring relationship with the open-ended, real-world problems shiftsthe focus of students from earning a specific grade to solving a problem.
