For anonline class, it is up to the student to participate in class and interact with the course.Student engagement can be enhanced by improved instructional techniques. Methods ofteaching can be broken down into four categories; instructor centered, interactive,individualized, and experiential [4]. Instructor centered learning primarily involves one-waycommunication from the instructor to the students. Questions from instructor to the whole classis also a form of an instructor centered strategy; this method primarily facilitates passive learningfor the student which

Further,to support the success of marginalized students, advocates call for changes to address large-scalecultural issues that can lead to academic burnout and emotional exhaustion [1,6].To address these challenges, several studies explored the value of student-professor relationshipsin fostering supportive learning environments. Work by Micari & Pazos [10] found that studentswho had a positive relationship with faculty earned higher grades and were more confident intheir ability to succeed in academically rigorous courses.

However,participation in makerspaces is not necessarily equal across all student groups, with the potentialfor white, man-dominated cultures of engineering to be replicated in makerspaces, preventingstudents from marginalized groups from feeling welcome or participating. Earningmicrocredentials and digital badges in makerspaces has the potential to encourage participationand provide a means for recognition.

Competency beliefs are frequently grounded in self-efficacy theory [14],which mediates the connection between positive feedback and better academic achievement [15].While competency beliefs focus on a person’s ability to do a task or engage in an activity, valuebeliefs focus on an individual’s desire to engage (or the relevance of engaging) in an activity ortask. Key retention barriers associated with value beliefs include perceptions of attainment value,utility value, and interest value, which is the motivational construct under investigation in thisstudy.

CURES are a uniquely valuable intervention for deployment at two-year institutions, wheremany students face restrictions which prohibit their participation in extracurricular activities. Theimplementation of CURES at two-year institutions presents unique challenges versus universitiesdue to the lack of existing research infrastructure. In addition, many students attending two-yearinstitutions are from historically marginalized groups, and may have limited resource awarenessand self-efficacy as it relates to performing research

skills and motivation might limit students' outcomes in capstone design projects. The lack of the supervisors' practical communication skills ultimately affected the students' motivation to develop the projects and apply the required project management techniques. In other words, if students sense that their opinions are respected, they will feel more empowered and motivated. Similar results are observed by the National Institute of Construction Management and Research and Walden University [13,14]. Along with motivation, social-cognitive theory suggests that effective communication affects students' deep thinking and motivation [15]. Hence, learners with strong self-efficacy are more likely to engage in activities that
