generally taught by faculty withsocial science PhDs. Those who identified as men felt a slightly stronger sense of belonging intheir disciplinary track courses (which include environmental engineering, geophysics, andindependent interdisciplinary options) than did women. Those courses also include students fromthose programs. We are cautious in making greater extrapolations based on our preliminarysurvey data, given that more people identifying as women (14) than men (9) filled out the survey.Figure 4: Average belongingness scores by gender for (a) major and (b) classesAdditional results broken down by socioeconomic status and race and ethnicity are available inthe Appendix.IdentityThe interviews were evocative for tracking the evolution of
an ordered set of tasks (textbook material, self-paced learning material, Guided Assignments, Do-It-Yourself assignments, and Extra Credit Assignments) in repetitive time intervals (weekly). This approach enables learners to settle into a rhythm, driven by the concept of “learning by doing” [22] i.e., skill development via the pursuit and attainment of relevant and meaningful goals. b. Reflective Observation – The experience engagement is followed by reflection on the task and evaluating the results. It primarily involves the discussion generation phase, which enables learners to identify (if any) the discrepancies from the actual and expected learning outcomes. Reflection is set in motion by the

PBLAs Conducted The Practice-Based Learning Activities designed for this research study covered topicsrelated to the content of the course. Topics related to the fundamentals of DC circuit analysis werethe primary focus of these activities: a) Ohm’s Law, b) Series and Parallel DC Circuits, c)Kirchhoff’s Voltage and Current Laws, d) Thevenin Equivalent Circuit, and e) Capacitive TransientResponse. We selected these topics because they provide an opportunity to assess students’ abilityto apply conceptual knowledge to practical problem-solving scenarios and help us to measure howstudents better understand the concepts from the course. The activities were explained in the hands-on activity guides provided to students, and they were taken

Optimization was described as a holistic approachthat requires balancing various constraints and trade-offs in high-alignment cases where conceptsgarnered multiple votes for threshold concept qualities.

It adopted a 5-point Likert scale, measuring frombetween 1- “strongly disagree” and 5- “strong agree”, between 1 - “not at all useful” and 5 -“extremely useful”. The patterns of communication during interaction were measured from an arrayof questions, ranging from a) the medium of communication with collaborators, i.e., “face to face”,“email”, “messenger”, “audio/video chat”; b) the frequency, measured with “daily”, “weekly” and“monthly”; and c) the duration for interactions was measured in time as “10minutes or less”, “11-30 minutes”, “31-minutes to 1 hour”, and “> 1 hour”.
