prepared for real-world engineering application.IntroductionIn many courses required for the engineering curriculum, students complete “textbook” problemsthat require following a standard procedure to apply relevant equations to solve [1]. Theseproblems are well-defined with one single correct answer that typically can only be reachedthrough one solution path. While these problems regularly fulfill the curriculum requirements,they do not necessarily prepare students for work as an engineer outside of academia [2], [3], [4].Ethnographic studies of engineers in the workplace show that well-defined problems like theseare not encountered in the engineering profession; rather, professional engineers solveill-defined, complex problems in which the core

community colleges holds great potential in contributingto the desired diversification of the engineering workforce[1]. However, transfer studentscommonly experience a “transfer shock” when transitioning from community colleges to four-year bachelor-degree awarding institutions. They need to learn to navigate a new environment[2] and often struggle to gain access to departments, people and guidance to help them with thistransition [3,4]. Due to the fact that they are also joining already existing social networks, theyoften also experience a lack of personal relationships with faculty and a lack of social integrationinto their peer group [3,4]. All these extra challenges can affect their academic achievement,retention, and degree attainment

links between student'spsychological state of mind and their academic performance and persistence over the course of asemester in a Statics class. It is well known that students perceive Statics as a "threshold" or"weed out" class due to its low passing rates [1, 2] that are often below 70%. Students who areunable to pass the course may ultimately withdraw from an engineering major. As a result,persistence and retention in engineering is hampered, which is typically magnified inunderrepresented groups.The primary goal of this research is to identify links between students' self-efficacy, motivation,emotional states, and other factors that may serve as early-warning indicators of dropout.

Another common strategy isto partner with universities to offer hybrid degree programs where the student starts theireducation at the liberal arts school and completes it at the university.

This process is complex as it requires not only wordrecognition but also an understanding of the delivery that reflects various emotional states [1].In utterance-level SER, emotions are classified for an entire spoken utterance, typically acomplete thought or statement. Here the emotions are considered as attributes of the wholeutterance, disregarding the temporal variations within it. The goal is to identify the dominantemotion conveyed in the utterance.Frame-level SER delves into a more detailed analysis by breaking the speech into smallersegments, often milliseconds long [2].

However, many STEM classes are still primarily passive, with lectureas the main teaching method [5]-[7]. One often-cited reason for this discrepancy is that studentsare “resistant” to active learning pedagogies [8]-[12]. Faculty, too, are reported to be resistant toadopting these pedagogies, sometimes because of the conflicting claims on faculty time [13] in adivergent rewards system [14], [15] in which teaching is (or at least, is
