These problems aim to prepare students for real-world settings [28]. Social interac-tion is an approach that enhances knowledge acquisition through social activities, such as studentsestablishing meaningful dialogue within student groups and with teachers [8, 11].Study of Learning and Engagement Strategies (LESs). Clarke et al. [4] described LESs andcompared them to the traditional lecture-style approach.

Cardador and Hillsurveyed 274 industry-based engineers in the Midwestern United States and found that femaleengineers on a managerial career path were at greater risk for professional attrition than theircolleagues on other paths [49]. Their results are consistent with Fouad’s National ScienceFoundation study finding that 75% of women who left engineering were on a managerial path[50]. In a follow-up study, Cardador found that increasing female engineers’ access tomanagement had unintended consequences for the women on these paths who reported feelingless like real engineers, working longer hours with less flexibility than female counterparts intechnical roles.

Second, when it comes toresearch participants’ social locations, Faulkner’s empirical work confirms that women tend to bepenalized for these inevitable technical to managerial transitions more heavily than men [86].

Many variables can only be estimated based on previously published data.While there are multiple definitions of a “model”, we use the Hestenes’ definition which statesthat a model is a “conceptual representation of the real thing” [2]. In essence, a model is amathematical equation which provides a description of how a system works. In the human body,that description can be quite complex. Models allow us to use simplifying assumptions tounderstand multifaceted physiological processes.Faculty introduce each model by asking questions about the system to

Research often emphasizes how teacher self-efficacy impacts student outcomes but lessso how student behavior shapes teacher self-efficacy. Positive student engagement can bolsterteachers' confidence, whereas negative interactions may trigger stress and lower self-efficacy,especially for novice teachers [16-18].
