]. Research-based teaching practices. (RBTPs)encompass a long list of instructional practices that have been shown through research to be effectivein improving student achievement, engagement and persistence in STEM fields. These RBTPs include“the use of cooperative learning; problem-based learning; peer-led team learning; process-oriented,guided inquiry learning; and project-based learning over lecture-based teaching” [15]. Endeavors tofind solutions to complex societal problems often require collaboration between industry andacademia. This can be further formalized and integrated into the engineering classroom to providenew ideas for industry, incubate entrepreneurial interests in students, and provide a guaranteedpathway to an engineering career

Among all five feature selection methods examined, GainRatio is determined as the bestapproach for our case study, because it identifies words relevant to the subject that highlycorrelate to a particular level (class) of Propensity for Exploration even if they are sparselyrepresented in the dataset. These words can be viewed as the diamonds in the rough thatdistinguish the question. We note that like most data mining based studies, the case study resultsare determined on the underlying dataset and the algorithms investigated.

This has potential negative effects on: collaborative learning, instructor facilitation,and a student’s ability to seek and receive help in the moment [43]. Further, opportunities foractive learning and interactive experiences are limited due to lack of access to labs, equipment,and learning environments specifically designed for interactive learning [44]. There are alsominimal opportunities to explore the ‘hidden curriculum’ [45] and support students’development in areas other than technical content, such as participating in mentoring and thedevelopment of social capital, one of the keys to recruiting and retaining low-income, racial orethnic
