Subsequently, studentsand teachers will present their achievements to the local community.To evaluate the project's learning outcomes, students underwent pre- and post-tests focusing on theproject's content. They also participated in a survey gauging their attitudes towards STEM subjects andcareers. Additionally, the assessment involved a review of students' engagement with and completion ofasynchronous assignments, examining the influence on the learning process. In summary, the paperpresents the findings and insights from these assessments and the project. 2. Literature reviewAccording to

The first was setting up and programming anautonomous vehicle controlled by Arduino. This project included sessions and lab activities thatcovered electrical theory and safety, benchtop pulse width modulation, Arduino pulse widthmodulation, Arduino with ultrasonic sensor, and ended with a SumoBot competition. The secondproject involved modeling robots using SolidWorks. The students learned about CAD and builttheir own models. Finally, the third project used Vex Robot equipment.

Theresearch concluded that integrating students' culture into engineering summer camps helps BlackAmericans to develop a significant understanding of the engineer's role. The integration ofsignificant cultural activities increases students' interest in engineering topics. For example,students were exposed to Black Americans' contributions to science and American history.Another article presented a strategy to develop a better understanding of the role of engineeringwomen.

Habits of mindhave been found to support the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills [3]-[4], which are key skills within the field of engineering, as well as other STEM fields such asmathematics [5]. As described by Alhamlan et al. [3], habits of mind are often discipline-specific.
