Teams developedcharters that outlined inclusive practices to ensure equitable participation. Inclusive teampractices were implemented, as outlined in the paper by Pfluger et.al.[11] After each milestone,students evaluate themselves and teammates using a five-point behavioral scale on five criteria:(a) contributing to the team; (b) interacting with teammates; (c) keeping the team on track; (d)expecting quality from the team; and (e) having relevant knowledge, skills, and abilities to fostercommunication and more effective team practices.Entrepreneurial mindset

Example problems from one o ering of the course are shown in Table 2. The instructor would collect the questions and sort them into categories: a) those answered by lecture b) those answered by assigned reading or other media c) those answered by experiment. After “Science 1” the instructor would compose lectures to go with other days of class to address questions as well as record and curate video lectures and

This level of readingparticipation for students earning A grades in thermodynamics is consistent with students inmaterial and energy balance courses [13, 15].Next, the median reading participation for students earning B and C grades were 100 and 94%,respectively. The 1st quartile scores showed a larger difference with 97 and 86% for the B and Cgroups.

A direct impact of this is a pedagogical revolutionin Higher Education Institutes (HEIs), leading to the swift transformation of Education 4.0 [12, 50] to Education 5.0(hereafter referred to as E.D. 5.0).

. Addressing this area requires greater faculty engagement to clarify gradingresponsibilities and expectations, given the variability across the department. Future plansinclude creating recorded models of effective student-TA interactions, expanding our case studiesto cover diverse teaching scenarios, and curating a library of engineering problems with feedbackthat emphasize metacognitive strategies. We will continue to gather data about the trainingprogram to assess its impact on TA confidence, teaching effectiveness, and student learningoutcomes. This ongoing evaluation will help refine the training by identifying areas forimprovement and ensuring alignment with both TA needs and departmental expectations.References[1] S. B. Philipp, T. R.
