impact of interpersonal interactions on studentengagement, we would like to explain how students defined engagement in the first place.Engagement is letting students have course experiences that help them learn the course contentwithout difficulty, having peers to share knowledge and learn from by communicating with eachother, and having instructors reachable to get their questions answered.Firstly, student-to-content interactions and engagement showed varying results from participantinterviews. Three students mentioned that the course content positively affected their engagementin the online course. On the other hand, one student believed the course content did not affect theirengagement, but it was a crucial part of the course. These results

Drawing from the ICAP (Interactive,Constructive, Active, and Passive) framework, this work-in-progress study provides the researchdesign to comprehend how students' perspective affects their learning and engagement. Wepropose an investigation using two research questions: 1) how do real-time accounts of theinstructional practices in the classroom relate to students' perceptions? And 2) How do studentperceptions of instructional practices affect their engagement and performance? This work-in-progress study explains the design using a cross-sectional quantitative approach. Morespecifically, we suggest the methodologies for data collection and analysis. We also describe

For example,respondents appear to have good internet connections and computer access, despite ouruniversity’s high cross-section of students from rural communities. Survey results indicate thatstudents are having success interacting with course material, but also that very little or nointeraction with their peers or instructor are happening in their Ecampus work. This idea returnsas the main disadvantage that participants noted for Ecampus courses; almost all respondentsexperienced lower

IntroductionStudent engagement is an important concept in research on postsecondary student experience.Student engagement means “the quality of effort students themselves devote to educationallypurposeful activities that contribute directly to desired outcomes” [1] (p. 555). Within theengineering education communities, student engagement is a presumably desired goal to achievein engineering courses and other academic activities. This is evident in the papers published inthe proceedings of the American Society for Engineering Education annual conferences. Oursearch in the PEER repository in January 2024 showed
studies showthat the implementation of gamification results in student engagement and motivation [3, 9-11].The implementation of gamification is a crucial factor in determining its effectiveness, as variousaspects of gamification have varying effects on motivational outcomes [12]. The impact of gamedesign elements is contingent on the quality and aesthetics of their implementation [12].However, further research is necessary to ascertain whether the benefits of gamification areonly temporary or if it will have a lasting impact on student learning.Kahoot! is an online gaming platform designed to pose multiple choice questions in aninteractive setting.

of the impact of social media on active learning and engagement. Thesearticles emphasize how the integration of social media into educational contexts not only improvesstudent involvement but also contributes positively to academic performance and promotesstronger interpersonal connections among peers. These studies [9-14], emphasize the role socialmedia platforms play in enhancing educational communication, offering insights into the reasonsbehind positive academic outcomes among university students. The studies suggest a correlationbetween academic success and the strategic, purposeful use of social media for communication ineducational settings. Such usage goes beyond casual or social interactions, tapping into theplatforms' capabilities

Family-related socializers include parents, grandparents,aunts and uncles, and family-friends. Prior to entering college, students can be influenced byfamily related socializers. For example, family may influence students to take on a familybusiness or trade [14]. Peer-related socializers include classmates, friends of friends, recentgraduates, siblings, and cousins. Those who are similar in age to the students share manyexperiences, which can influence students’ job search. When students engage with peer-relatedsocializers, they may gain insights on job and internship postings or company and industryculture. This insight

students' opinions in class, and students' empowerment. In other words, we wanted to understand how showing respect to students and respecting their input and ideas in class affects their empowerment. Second, we questioned how effective and powerful is valuing students' opinions and how that affects their perception of how faculty cares about them. In response, we proposed a study that tests the causal relationship between how faculty's effective communication affects students' motivation in capstone design projects. Our results showed strong evidence of the faculty's effective communication's impact on student's motivation. Theory [13,14,15,16,17,18] suggests that when students are more motivated, it

percent of students failed to graduate with a STEM degree in four years of college[31]. A recent study showed that one of the most significant challenges faced by Universitieswas to keep the attraction of students in a particular course and their persistence [32].Hence there is a need for an in-depth analysis that could accurately assess the degree ofbenefit or harm of SMPs based on communication patterns and assist educators in devisingplans to utilize SMPs in a more advantageous manner. To make SMPs more valuable andaccessible for students, instructors should learn more about how they impact students'learning and engagement to strategize the implementation of SMPs as a instructionalinstrument to merge them into classes [10].

disability impact disabled student experiencesin the engineering classroom?Conceptual Framework Critical Disability Theory [CDT] (Hall, 2019) and the Design Justice framework(Costanza-Chock, 2020) were used as lenses to guide our research. CDT is a framework used forthe analysis of disability through the centering of disability and challenging of ableistassumptions surrounding disability. CDT describes disability as the complex relationshipbetween the medical contributions of disability and the barriers imposed on the concept ofdisability by the social environment (Hosking, 2008). The Design Justice Framework analyzeshow design works to benefit and burden different groups of people by elucidating how designreproduces and/or challenges the
