In STEM highereducation, we posit that relationships among faculty affect their STEM education capacity—theirability to adapt to students’ needs and achieve education-related objectives. This paper examinesengineering faculty interactions, the formation of relationships, and how teaching and learningdiscussions occur within academic settings. We aim to uncover how faculty members develop andleverage their relationships and communities. We also explore how faculty members approach andreach out to their colleagues for diverse, multifaceted, and specific needs related to teaching andlearning. Our study is part of a broader research project that assesses STEM education

Students are encouraged to engage in projects with the final projects in mind sothat they can regard their cultural backgrounds and experiences as valuable assets to createfeasible solutions for their community issues. In this process they can critically evaluate thesocietal inequities and injustices, which empowers the students to question and challenge thestatus quo and allow active participation.Instrument and Data collectionTo assess SCCT factors, 21

To more effectively assess these reflections, improved assessment tools should bedeveloped.Engaging students in research is a powerful way to enhance their learning experience. Byproviding opportunities for students to conduct case studies from different disciplines ofengineering as research.

Writing for laboratory courses is not justfor students to note down the steps performed in the lab and present the corresponding resultsof the experiments. Students should be able to synthesize data, relate their theoreticallearnings in a practical environment, and communicate their findings eloquently [11]. Theimplementation of frameworks such as Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC), Writing-to-Learn, and rubric-based assessments have ensured that students' writing experience ispurposeful and reflective of professional engineering standards[12], [13], [14].

The accompanying Laanan Transfer Student Questionnaire (L-TSQ) [10], developed in 2004,remains a widely used instrument for assessing post-transfer adjustment. For example, one studyusing the L-TSQ found that women in STEM reported more academic adjustment challenges thanmen [15]. However, the survey alone does not reveal how students cope with these challenges. To explore coping processes, we apply Spencer’s Phenomenological Variant of EcologicalSystems Theory (PVEST) alongside Transfer Student Capital. PVEST conceptualizes adjustmentthrough five stages: (1) risk contributors and protective factors, (2) stress engagement, (3) reactivecoping methods, (4) emergent
