students’ self-efficacy—a self-judgment of capability in a given field—is anaccepted predictor of college success. Many factors affecting self-efficacy have been identifiedin previous research, such as positive performance in classes, practical experiences, and access tomentors. Previous studies have also found that many of these factors are, in turn, affected byaspects of students’ social circles, namely homophily and social capital. Students with morehomophilous networks (that is, networks with greater similarity between the student and thepeople in their network) tend to demonstrate higher in-class performance and may feel a greatersense of belonging in engineering as a whole. Homophily most typically explores similarities ingender and/or race

leadership to better help students.There are a variety of ways in which students can collaborate with each other in class, andpotentially increase the scope of their social network. For example, team projects includeassignments that students are required to complete with one or more classmates. These projectsgive students opportunities to meet together and possibly form relationships outside of theclassroom. Students may also be asked to share ideas with classmates informally duringindividual class periods (e.g., participating in a “Think, Pair, Share” activity”).Collaborative LearningIn higher education, instructors desire to use teaching techniques to help improve studentoutcomes. The instructional techniques used affect student learning outcomes

future professions. For instance, subjects like Electrical and ElectronicTechnology, Mechanical Drawing, and Engineering Mechanics constitute the corelearning repertoire for mechanical engineering students. The import of major course satisfaction within the Chinese context cannot beoverstated, particularly for engineering students whose academic achievement andcareer trajectories are at stake. On the academic front, high levels of satisfactioncorrelate with enhanced student engagement—a catalyst for profound investigation intosubject matter and spirited participation in class dialogues. Such immersion not onlyconsolidates comprehension and proficiency in course content but also manifests insuperior academic outcomes, including elevated

who come from 2-year institutions may be accustomed toindividualized attention from faculty, due to smaller class sizes that are typically found at 2-yearcolleges. This allows students to form relationships with professors and boosts students’confidence [6]. Additionally, vertical transfer students may not be used to the type of instructioncommon at 4-year institutions. This can create a new challenge that vertical transfer students arenot used to experiencing [6, 8]. By contrast, lateral transfer students may fare better in theirtransition to another institution because they are more familiar with the way 4-year universitiesoperate [7]. When a student transfers from one 4-year institution to another, they are more likelythan their vertical
