To address this limitation,future research will incorporate student surveys and semi-structured interviews to explore howstudents manage their time, approach difficult content, and perceive the usefulness of SIMnet.Additional directions include investigating equity concerns to see if engagement patterns differacross demographic groups and piloting instructional strategies such as guided walkthroughs.These efforts aim to support the development of a more robust, theory-informed framework forevaluating engagement and to provide actionable insights for improving instruction in first-yearengineering courses.References[1] S.

In additionto the goals above, we also wanted students to develop additional manufacturing skills.Carbonell et al. [1] found that the integration of the makerspace into various courseworkincreased technology self-efficacy, affect toward design, design self-efficacy, and sense ofbelonging. Gillespie and Nossoni [2] found that students in a first-year engineering courseintegrated with maker space activities visited the makerspace more often and were more likely tochange their beliefs toward engineering to identify skills such as teamwork, problem solvingabilities, and communication as being

The environment which the mind is developed in plays the greatestrole in how the individual thinks. Psychological research has shown that an environment wherethere are a lot of resources and equal opportunity is present promotes greater use of thinkingabilities, therefore, expanding the individual’s knowledge and experiences [3].Effective Group-Based StructuralismA team is a group of people who work together interdependently and adaptively towards acommon goal.
