Among factors that influence the sense of belonging of women to a major areidentity or being valued [12]; stereotype-free educational environment [13]; formal and informalstudent organizations supporting female students [12]; family, faculty and peer support [7]. Onthe other hand, and specific to the construction industry, many prior studies indicate thatpresence of gender stereotyping, low sense of belonging, lack of support system, and lack offemale role models factor to women opting out of construction-related studies and careers [14],[15], [16].Previous research on sense of belonging found that only when an

This conceptual shift is necessary for effective performance in STEM,yet the typical engineering student progresses fewer than two positions along Perry’s nine-positionscheme in college (Pavelich & Moore, 1996).Research has been conducted to understand how these theories play out across various judgmentdomains (e.g., “personal taste, aesthetic, value, and truth” as per Kuhn, Cheney, & Weinstock,2000, p. 309) as well as different fields of knowledge such as science (Elby, Macrander, &Hammer, 2016), engineering (Christensen et al, 2015), and design (Eastman, McCracken, &

The GPSS aims to supportgovernment decision-makers in boosting efficient large-scale intervention strategies andinvestment plans to reduce disaster risks in schools and improve learning environments forchildren.ContextIn the learning experience examined in this paper, two student teams were formed during theWinter 2020 term to collaborate with a professional team from the GPSS of the World Bank todesign a solution aimed at improving baseline data to assess the vulnerability of schoolinfrastructure. Students from an upper-division undergraduate level Human-ComputerInteraction (HCI) course and a graduate-level Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML)course participated. The AI/ML team developed a back-end automatic structural

This wasthe first time the students encountered an authentic problem, which is a key component of PBL[4]. In this problem-solving process, faculty from the Department of Urban Horticulture &Design played a role as the consultants who provided input on a crop plan and planting schedule.This session helped the students to determine the location of vegetation, form, and orientation ofthe structure based on the solar exposure, sun path, circulation, and accessibility of the user. Theinteraction with multiple parties provided students a broader perspective on the architect-client,architect-consultant
(2017) in whichthey stated that failure experiences are important to realize as such failures can result in unproductive anddisrupt youths’ engagement in positive youth development frameworks during summer camps.However, the main outcome of summer camp is sought to be an increased interest in the camp subject.Students’ attitudes towards a major or field are factors which maintain the potential to influence students’willingness to pursue that major in college. Several potential motivators, including interest, relevance, funand enjoyment, and hands-on learning can interact and may explain why a person pursues a particularaction. Drey (2016) explored students’ affect towards mathematics and science and their perceptions ofhands-on activities

In 2021,architectural engineering instituted an “AE Huddle” after the core studio hour to address issues and providediscipline-specific feedback.4.5 Appropriate Project Selection Selecting an appropriate project is critical to the success of the studio due to the complex anddistinct expectations by each program and advising faculty. The faculty has found that a real projectprovides the necessary sense of purpose for
