Although students in certain disciplines, such as engineering,focus more of their energies on problem solving and comprehension of technical material, theability to persuasively convey one’s ideas and theories is necessary in all fields of advancedstudy. As restated by Jason Swarts and Lee Odell, “effective communication generally, andeffective technical writing specifically is essential to success…because it conventionalizes

Theideation and design activities engage and encourage students to act with increased autonomy toaccomplish the credit-bearing tasks. The majority of the hands-on projects introduced with theCNC lab encourage students to take control and command of the project and also design theirown experiments to assess engineering content. In regards to relatedness, hands-on machiningand design activities are expected to directly relate to engineering students’ identification withengineers as a group or discipline.

In contrast, we have chosen to include keyelements of the experiences of Black students at HBCUs to better understand how Black studentsat PWIs can be supported in their efforts to maintain success. We acknowledge that theexperiences of all Black students at PWIs are not the same and come with their own nuances thatare dependent on the backgrounds of each individual student; however, we assert that thenegative experiences of some Black students should be of concern to all stakeholders at PWIsand thus we position our research within the PWI

This type of learning occurs incontext – learners are engaged in authentic activities, as part of a community of practice.Authentic activities refer to the “coherent, meaningful, and purposeful activities” (p.34)11 that areshared by members of a community of practice and in fact characterize that community.Participating in authentic activities enables learners to understand experts’ points of view,“shapes or hones [learners’] tools,” and provides them with experience (p.36)11.As a social theory of learning, situated learning

These strategies toengage students may create a more inclusive learning environment for students.

Design is a subject which requires the ability to solveproblems or issues by the communication of their ideas. The main obstacle expressed, by botheducators and students of design education, is the influences on design ability and creativity[10].For this study the main influences being applied include: Activities prior to task engagement.

Through a meta-synthetic review of theliterature on distant learning and online course development, researchers have shown several emergentthemes in the literature (Cherney et al. 2018). First, collaborative online learning environments were moreeffective in improving the achievement of learning outcomes in comparison to non-collaborative onlineenvironments. Second, there are a number of conflicting conclusions in the literature which need to beresolved with further research and data collection
