Overview of Asynchronous Logic Asynchronous circuits can be grouped into two main categories: bounded-delay and delay- insensitive models. Bounded-delay models such as micropipelines assume that delays in both gates and wires are bounded 3. Delays are added based on worse-case scenarios to avoid hazard conditions. This leads to extensive timing analysis of worse-case behavior to ensure correct circuit operation. On the other hand

SI provides peer-facilitated study sessions led by competentundergraduate SI leaders who attend scheduled classes with students and then help the studentsto practice and discuss course materials in a series of review sessions. Sessions are open to allstudents who are enrolled in the course and want to improve their understanding of the material,as well as improve their grades.

These findings suggest that personalized andimmersive environments can play a crucial role in supporting diverse learners.In the context of STEM education, VR has proven particularly beneficial. Wu [11] argues thatimmersive environments allow for better comprehension of complex scientific phenomena,especially when traditional hands-on experiences are limited. VR simulations in chemistry,biology, and engineering provide students with opportunities to conduct experiments and explorescenarios that would otherwise be inaccessible due to safety or resource constraints [15].The integration of gamification elements into VR-based learning further enhances

The ability for graduate trainees to develop self-efficacy in teaching (individual beliefs regarding influence on student learning) is critical,supporting their transition to an independent academic career [9]. Consequently, the outcomesof relevant professional development programs for graduate students have great potential toinfluence next generation teaching approaches, and subsequent innovation in undergraduateeducation [10].Interestingly, and of relevance to our current model, self-efficacy varies for graduate students indifferent disciplines.

In the case of engineering students, some schools are seeing the need toincorporate the elements of entrepreneurship education as a response to the changing nature ofplacement opportunities for their graduates as increasing emphasis is being placed on the skillsof advocacy, idea development, and lateral thinking.4 Many universities offer a single course inentrepreneurship or even minors or majors in the topic. Indeed, reputations of schools have beenbuilt based on their emphasis of an entrepreneurial focused education. Yet, despite this
