Similarly, Wang et al. observed paralleloutcomes in their study on engineering technology students engaged in hands-on roboticsactivities. Their findings revealed that between 73% and 100% of students agreed or stronglyagreed with survey questions probing the positive impacts of these hands-on activities [6].

Accordingly, faculty in higher education areregularly encouraged to improve their instruction by using instructional strategies to improvestudent engagement, under the prevailing assumption that it will improve learning, achievement,and other important educational targets [3]. Despite the popularity of engagement research,extant findings suggest that the impact of instruction on student engagement, and the impact ofengagement on student outcomes, is statistically small [4].We have argued in our previous work that to improve

instruction, the relatively small percentage of communication thatoccurs verbally will primarily stimulate cognitive meanings (cognitive domain) for the student,while the more pervasive nonverbal communication (~93% of all communication) stimulates thestudents’ feelings and attitudes (affective domain) about the material (McCroskey, Richmond, &McCroskey, 2006). Thus, given the potential impact on student learning that nonverbalcommunication has, it would seem important that all instructors be mindful of their personaloutward nonverbal projection, as well as observation of student nonverbal cues.Communication, when done properly, is a two-way interactional process (Suinn, 2006). Thatstatement remains valid in the classroom, where, as instructors

The first issue is thatInformation Technology (IT) solutions have a great impact on the operation of non-profitand educational organizations the same way it impacts commercial businesses. However,generally, non-profit and educational organizations do not have enough budgets todevelop the IT solutions they need. The second issue is that undergraduate students whoare pursuing a degree in Information Technology have skills that allow them to developmuch of the solutions that non-profit or educational organizations will need. The ITSWwas then established to bring these two issues together.The ITSW project is an original project that builds on the accumulated

found several factors that have improved students’ mentalhealth in social contexts.The current literature shows trends between a student’s need for both independence and ownershipof their work while having some level of personal support. There have been multiple concepts usedto explore this, including self-sufficiency, sense of belonging, and social self-efficacy. Social self-efficacy is defined as one’s confidence to employ social skills to initiate social contact and developnew friendships, whereas self-sufficiency refers to one’s ability to independently complete theirday-to-day tasks. How connected one feels to their communities is represented by sense ofbelonging. This study will determine how, if at all, these concepts impact a student’s
