Thereby programs thataddress these critical factors by providing experiential learning opportunities (e.g., case studies,competitions, undergraduate research experiences) for students and support (e.g., mentors,scholarships, community engagement) in STEM disciplines have had positive impacts onstudents’ success [4].Another component critical to the preparation of undergraduate students with competitiveskillsets needed for success in the STEM workforce is motivation.

engagement among learners.IntroductionIn recent years, technological advancements have significantly impacted how we learn, withmany K-12 education programs incorporating a hands-on, constructivist approach to teachingand learning [1]–[3]. However, as students transition to undergraduate programs, there isoften a lack of continuity in the teaching methods used, leading to challenges inunderstanding and applying the lessons taught, aside from continuing in the discipline.Therefore, there is a need to seek out a teaching methodology that can stimulate themotivation of learners and further learners’ zeal in the chosen field.Experiment-centric pedagogy (ECP) is a hands-on learner-centered teaching technique thatemploys inexpensive, portable instruments

A study found that there was a significant increase inthe levels of satisfaction and comprehension among students when Arduino was used in ageotechnical engineering education module [34]. Beyond the positive impacts on learning, theimplementation of our prototype also has the potential to expand undergraduate access to hands-on geophysics and provide a sense of belonging to the larger Earth Science

Participants at the meeting had engaged directly with at least one of thethree institutional principal investigators (PIs) to supply student writing samples from theirlaboratory-based courses.

mentoring can result in an increased sense of community in engineering programs.Kunberger [8] studied the impact of near-peer mentoring on self-efficacy in an introductoryengineering course at Florida Gulf Coast University. In this study, upper-level students mentorswere incorporated into the class through in-person and online engagement. Using pre- and post-course surveys, complemented by focus group discussions, Kunberger determined that near-peermentoring resulted in “students [gaining] a better sense of place within engineering over thecourse of the semester” [8].Many existing mentorship programs are focused on benefitting the mentee and the opportunitiesfor mutual growth for both mentor and mentee are missed. For example, upper-level students

Theescape rooms required students to work as a team, communicate their solutions effectively, andincrease their engagement and interest with the course material. Two different escape roomshave been developed and implemented: one in a mechanics of materials course and one in adesign of reinforced concrete structures course.

, smaller projects, such as pedestrianbridges, are identified [8].Although service learning in civil engineering is certainly not new, there are various challengesthat could prevent unleashing the full potential and effectiveness of service learning projects. Forinstance, one common challenge is related to the duration of projects. The timelines of someinfrastructure projects for a community are longer than allowed in a semester or an academicyear, which potentially complicates student involvement and learning assessment [2]. Moreover,students may not be able to see the impacts of their work on the community and therebyundervalue the service learning experiences [9].
