The survey of learning experiences showed statistically significant differencesbetween pre- and post-course scores in self-efficacies, which suggests that students sawimprovement in the ratings of their learning in five target areas: (A) background research skills,(B) critical thinking and ideation, (C) project management and teamwork, (D) technicalcommunication skills, and (E) interest in medical engineering.1.

necessary toprovide nexus between the current practices and construction management (CM) education.Although construction practices have evolved throughout the last decade, CM education has notyet revolutionized which sparks questions about the relevancy and efficacy of the currentprograms and curricula. Generally, in complex construction projects, traditional contract deliverymethods have been found to limit innovative construction practices and extend the constructionschedule as well as seldom provide the best value to the owner. Despite the shortcomings of thetraditional contract delivery methods, the education of such delivery methods is still being taughtas mainstream in CM education. To this end, an alternative technical concept (ATC

Subsequent research was conducted thatproduced similar results (Aronson, et al. 2002), and other studies have found similar results whenevaluating the influence of stereotype threats on Latinx academic performance (Blanton, et al.2002). Although this general research is beneficial, studying the individual stereotypes andstereotype threats experienced by specific minority groups is important.Stereotypes Experienced by STEM MajorsOften, the root of a stereotype threat centers around a negative stereotype regarding anindividual’s social identity.

Thus, technology has the potential, whenpaired with human designers and users, to make significant change and impact in current society[4]. Who are the human designers? With whom does this powerful role lay? Currently, engineersact as one of the main definers and designers of technology [5], [6]. Engineers serve in roles thatnot only technically design and manufacture technologies, but also define what problems areworth investment [7], [8]. This demonstrates both problems and opportunity for change: Whatdoes it mean that technological power rests with a group that historically and continuallystruggles with issues of injustice, inequity and exclusion [9

Figure 1 (A) and (B) shows a histogram from course Aand course B, respectively, of how many students completed various amounts of problemsthroughout the challenge. In light of general feedback, the 30-day challenge was viewed by thestudents as an endurance challenge. Predictably, the histograms showed a generally decliningnumber of students completed higher numbers of total problems.
