specifically examinethe connections within the interdisciplinary teaching system, including comprehensivecurriculum emphasis, student-centered instructional practices, and interdisciplinarycompetence. Also, we explore the internal effect mechanisms by introducing the theory ofidentity to discuss the mediating effects of interdisciplinary identity and try to figure out howstudents describe themselves and are positioned by others in the role of being aninterdisciplinary learner. And we further explore the mediating effects of the threedimensions of interdisciplinary identity: interest, recognition, and performance.Design/Method This study uses a survey sample of 310 engineering graduate students in 3High-level Research Universities in China.

Therefore, it would be beneficial to identify and addresschallenges of these students through the pre-existing course curriculum.This study seeks to understand the challenges faced by first-generation students when theytransition from high school to college. Specifically, the goal was to determine a) what are thechallenges faced by first generation students during the transition from high school to college?,and b) are there differences in the challenges experienced by calculus-ready versus non-calculusready first generation students enrolled in engineering? Most studies focus on the overallexperience of first-generation students in college. Our study focuses on the first four

development of future engineers.Many AI writing tools are freely available to students at no cost, making this resource accessibleto all. Despite the advantages, AI may provide students with some misleading information andoutdated data. AI tools are also highly dependent on the phrasing of the prompts, potentiallyleading to suggestions that stifle creativity or misinterpret students' intentions. AI-generated textis unable to capture the nuance, context, and subjective nature of writing, making the AI responseshave a voice distinctive from the voice of the individual. In addition, like any other evolutionarytechnology, there are increasing concerns regarding the ethical implications of AI in education thatmust be carefully studied.With these factors
