Many of these challenges areheavily impacted by public school funding, which is often based on the tax-base in schooldistricts [8] and the population density in certain areas [9]. Given that some rural communitiesexperience poverty and are relatively small in size, this often means that schools do not receivesufficient funding.On the other hand, rural places, communities, and schools are often said to be tight knit, whichcan provide a wealth of opportunities to engage in unique ways. For engineering and STEMeducation, this is particularly important. For example, connecting students with local experts

Emphasis is placed on learning throughhands-on experience and creating an environment that encourages inquiry. Students first studyapplicable scientific theory and are introduced to instrumentation and software tools that will beneeded later. Each unit then culminates in the construction of a related project such as balsawood bridges, Lego robotics, AM radios, or heart monitors. With a student return rate of over70% for 2003-2004, the

One notable advantage is the capacity foreducators to employ a variety of teaching strategies tailored to diverse learning styles [12], thusenhancing student engagement and interest in the learning process. This adaptability can foster apositive classroom environment, motivating students to actively participate and invest in theiracademic pursuits. However, over-reliance on specific pedagogical strategies may lead to rigidityin classroom practices [11], limiting adaptability to individual needs and preferences.

Asdescribed by Lent et al. [24] and expanded on by Estrada et al. [25], social influence, thatfeedback students receive from individuals in their environment, is a powerful factor in Hispanicstudents’ persistence. Further, as documented by Alonso [26], Hispanic students have expressedthe value of establishing a familia within their engineering community. However, Alon’s study[26] investigating engineering identity development of Hispanic engineering students wasconducted at a conference held by a specific Hispanic professional engineering society.

In the first course iteration, we investigated the creation of amultidisciplinary community by connecting students from both disciplines through a blend of problem-based learning instruction and traditional lectures. In the second version of the course, we established amultidisciplinary environment by bringing two instructors, one with computer science expertise and theother from education. To investigate the effectiveness of these approaches, we conducted

Ibarra and Petriglieri characterize this kind of activity as identity play, acharacterization we share. They define identity play as “people’s engagement in provisional butactive trial of possible future selves”[6]. We have identified a number of course experiences aspotential sites for this identity play. These include: • the lab courses where students put on lab coats and safety goggles as they become familiar with standard laboratory equipment and protocols and the technical knowledge of chemistry; • a communication course where students visit schools as the subject matter expert to

As Schnieder 6 explains,STEM students’ positive perceptions of the professional and interpersonal competencies ofSTEM professionals was positively correlated with their STEM career intentions.The learning processes that students engage in have also been found to influence their careerchoices.

empathy revealed empathetic teaching plays anessential role in developing teacher-student relationships and positively impacting students'learning [31].Only one study we found in higher education provide a definition of the concept of teacherempathy. Meyers et al. [5] defined the concept as, “the degree to which instructors work todeeply understand students’ personal and social situations, feel caring and concern in response tostudents’ positive and negative emotions, and communicate their understanding and caring tostudents through their behavior”. This definition involves cognitive, affective, and behavioralcomponents. Meyers and colleagues [5] also claim that teacher empathy enhances studentlearning and offers suggestions for increasing
