Support First-year Engineering StudentsIntroductionDeveloping supportive relationships among students, staff, and faculty is at the center offacilitating first-year engineering students’ transition to college and their subsequent academicsuccess. These relationship networks ideally produce a productive campus community, helpingstudents gain belonging, navigational knowledge, and disciplinary learning. Conversely, studentscan experience relationships of exclusion or marginalization, especially if they hold identitiesthat are minoritized within their majors or institutions. Despite their importance, student serviceprofessionals and researchers rarely assess and develop students’ institutional relationships insystematic

Also, having a physics instructor observe my teaching and provide constructivecomments and feedback could be invaluable. The feedback would allow me to identify areas forimprovement and refine my pedagogical methods. Together, these steps will guide thedevelopment of a more cohesive and impactful curriculum for future iterations of the camp.

learning analytics is whether student engagement could beeffectively captured through digital traces. Student engagement is a multifaceted concept thatinvolves the time and effort students invest in their studies and how institutions support theseefforts [13]. Learning analytics usually assess engagement through data collected from LearningManagement Systems (LMS), which track students' online activities, such as the number ofinteractions, clicks, and time spent engaging with course materials. It is plausible that thesemetrics could provide insights into how students' efforts in class correlate with their academicsuccess [14]. There is limited research on measuring the multifaceted engagement in onlinelearning through learning analytics [15]. In

Second, the economic, social, andeducational disadvantages of a region may reduce community engagement with environmentalissues. These findings highlighted the critical influence of socioeconomic factors on energyliteracy and the necessity for region-specific assessment to address local challenges effectively.In the U.S., only a few state- or region-level comparative analyses have been reported overthe past 15-20 years, but not on a grand scale.

internal scale consistency.As this study aims to explore potential relationships between different dimensions of genderidentity and the engineering outcomes described earlier, the key independent measures arevariables that assess various aspects of gender typicality. This includes two gender typicalitymeasures: feminine typicality and masculine typicality. These scale variables capture anindividual’s view of their gender identity as being similar to typical women and men their age,respectively. They have been previously validated [8], and results from confirmatory factoranalyses indicated that scale variables for feminine typicality (Cronbach’s alpha=0.78) andmasculine typicality (Cronbach’s alpha=0.70) have good internal reliability. The scale
