For capstone projects, students propose, develop, design, and build a working or almost working prototype solution to a selected, significant, engineering problem. Each project team researches the ideas, various ways to implement, costs, efforts, and their own expertise coupled with their inclinations. Students do their own learning and

manufacturing reflects a desire for more human-centric,environmentally conscious, and community-oriented approaches in response to the social andenvironmental impacts of large-scale industrialization [5, 6]. Additive Manufacturing (AM) emerged in the 1980s as a revolutionary technology for creatingobjects layer by layer from digital models. Its roots trace back to stereolithography invented byChuck Hull in 1983. The 1990s witnessed the expansion of AM applications into variousindustries. As patents expired, technology became more accessible, fostering innovation. By the2000s, diverse materials and techniques emerged, enhancing AM's capabilities. Today, it plays acrucial role in rapid prototyping, custom manufacturing, and even aerospace applications

We bring complementary areas of expertise for conducting rigorous STEMeducation research: Expertise in conducting research on human behavior (specifically student motivation,learning, and STEM pedagogy), engineering content areas, and STEM program development. Ourrespective backgrounds and strengths have allowed us to develop novel assessments of engineeringlearning, while also unlocking large populations for future psychosocial research. When reflecting on thissynergistic collaboration, we realized that our interdisciplinary collaboration is relatively unique and islargely absent among our early career faculty peers.

Furthermore, theclassification of nonverbal behavior resulting from this study may lead to applying othercomputational research techniques, such as machine learning, in analyzing our researchquestions.Presenter nonverbal immediacy communicates closeness, indicates liking, signals availability,expresses intensity of involvement, and reflects arousal [44]. Similar immediacy trainings haveoccurred for classroom teachers [45]. This type of presenter immediacy should be the goal andnot the starting point.

By bringingthese topics to the forefront of conversation, we can spark meaningful dialogues surrounding thepositive, inclusive mentorship of all women in engineering disciplines that is responsive to theirintersectional identities, so that faculty advisors of any gender or background can feel morecomfortable in reaching out for guidance in how to support their women mentees.

In fact, that is more a rarity than the norm. Transferfunctions for lime kilns, cardiac arrest patients, reactive etchers, etc. do not hold for the range ofinputs outlined in final projects given to students[8]. Representing a nonlinear multivariableprocess by a matrix of transfer functions leads to real repercussions for students that think theseare at least close to accurate models that reflect a dynamic range of responses over the inputconstraints. And instead end up with a system that a single controller can regulate. There are nooperating regions

Faculty instructors also agreedwith the difficulty of accessing a diverse group of practitioners which makes it moredifficult to ensure diversity when inviting them to any academic activity (e.g., capstonementorship, workshops, conference speaker, lecture guest speaker).

Instead of examining race, gender, sexualorientation, and other markers of difference as singular identities, Riley & Pawley (2011) useintersectionality to look at individuals’ experiences through their narratives which reflected theirintersecting identities 51.
