Studies on work groups provide a theoretical perspective that can further explain ourgroup collaborations. Research indicates that group diversity in terms of members’ perspectivesfor the group task may or may not have positive effects on group outcomes6. Homogeneitygenerally leads to better cohesion and commitment in a group. However diversity in groups canpositively impact group outcomes when the task is about meaning or decision making, and hasbeen shown to have transformative potential when individuals with different epistemologicalperspectives engage in cross-disciplinary work7.

AssistantsAbstract Although motivation in the classroom is often neglected in graduate student training,most instructors and TAs intuitively understand that motivation is critical for effective learning.These intuitions are corroborated by the research on motivation and learning that consistentlyshows that students do not learn well unless they are motivated to learn. In this paper, we present the basics of motivation theories, their impact on studentlearning and their implications for teaching engineering. It is a primer of motivation theories andhow they can be used to inform and direct TAs work with engineering students. This primer wasdeveloped from the perspectives of a researcher of the preparation of future faculty and adeveloper of

Supported by college staff, individual faculty, studentprograms, or community-engagement offices in universities, such programs have made strides toprovide such learning opportunities for students.

To address this, futureiterations of the camp should integrate more practical, skill-focused instruction earlier in theprogram. Collaborating with the programming course to incorporate instruction on programmingand Arduino could make the BB84 QKD activity more interactive and less reliant onpre-assembled tools. This change would empower students to engage with the materials moredeeply and confidently. Introducing small-group collaborations or gamified elements could alsoincrease and enhance the collaboration among students. Finally, as this was my first experienceteaching a workshop of this kind

SL work often faced challengeswith equitable benefits and power sharing. SL in engineering is now often being framed underthe larger umbrella of community engagement (CE).
