At the time that data was collected,students were still mostly engaging in their classes and schoolwork online and adding on anotheronline task may have seemed unappealing at the time. It is likely that collecting more data in thefuture using a similar survey would alleviate many of the concerns that arose due to COVID-19.Lastly, our study focus was investigating students who participated in extra-/co-curricularactivities. Therefore, we did not explore other students' activities that could be sources of self-efficacy and impact students' performance.

Previous work in thedepartment identified retention of first generation students as a significant issue [1]. First-generations students can have several definitions, here we will use the definition of studentswhose parents/guardians have not completed a bachelor’s degree. At the university, only 64.7%of first-generation students who started in Mechanical Engineering graduated from the universitywithin 6 years

However, theinitial focus has primarily been on Mechanical Engineering, the largest major within thecollege, because it is the home unit for the majority of the faculty team.Part of the approach includes providing project-based opportunities, focusing onprojects that can have positive impact and go out into the public domain [2].

While there are significant advantages for helping students develop fluency usingcomputer programs to solve engineering problems, there are some challenges to consider. Forinstance, when teaching computer programing to first-year engineering students, the class sizesare typically large, making it difficult to provide timely and relevant feedback.

Notably, leveraging strategies such as game-centered learning, personalized learning,and virtual prototyping can effectively promote these outcomes. Of particular significance is theobservation that digital twins can diversify the range of laboratory options within engineeringclasses without entailing additional equipment costs.
