Common themes include: • Use of initial tasks or conversations to increase student interest in the research field and/or specific project • Gradual scaffolding of research tasks throughout the research experience to correspond with increasing student researcher self-sufficiency and skills • Mentors emphasize customization of meeting formats and project deadlines to the student – thus needing to first gain an understanding of the student's personal accountability, communication style

anticipated due to new infrastructure investments. Bycapturing the imagination of young minds and equipping them with a foundational understandingof civil engineering, the summer course is not just educating future students; it is contributing tothe development of the workforce that will shape tomorrow's infrastructure.Past students have gone on to enroll in civil engineering as well as other engineering programsin college. While further research and time is needed to assess post-graduation outcomes and thetypes of engineering careers these students ultimately enter, the initial indications are promising.These findings support the replication and adaptation of this model across other institutions,suggesting that such educational interventions can

For example, while attending a conference, a student may be encouraged to reflect on a recent classroom learning experience. • Abstract conceptualization: In this stage, the learner forms new ideas or modifies existing ideas based on reflection. For example, after reflecting on the research problem, the learner may adjust their initial perception (learned during lectures) of how best to solve it. • Active experimentation: In this stage, learning is transferred to other settings around the learner.

This removed 4 papers,leaving us with 341 to screen. To screen, we used a two step process. First, we read all of thetitles to ensure that they were related to civil engineering, sustainability, and cognitive biases.Many of the papers either only had one of the topics, or were construction papers. Afterscreening the titles, we were left with 19 papers. From here, we read each of the abstracts withthe following inclusion criteria: 1) The papers had original research (i.e., they were not

Finally, engineering professionals’ learning styles may relate to the problemsolving processes and external constraints seen in their professions, but may be different fromthose seen in the classroom.
