While PBL is not the only way to learn convergence methodologies, it canbe an efficient “means” to the “end” which is understanding and implementing convergencemethodologies. It emphasizes the process of question identification and framing as much asproblem solving, encouraging students to iterate and seek feedback, and to reflect on theirapproach and proposed solution. Additionally, outcomes of PBL are similar to the skills neededfor the future of convergence research in industry

providing an avenuefor open dialogue, mentors enable their mentees to develop self-awareness, confidence, and a senseof purpose [11]. These skills are important in ensuring success not only in academics orprofessional settings but also in general life satisfaction and mental health [17]. Mentorship allowsfor the opportunity to develop important life skills like communication, critical thinking, and timemanagement. These forms of success are developed through seeking and receiving guidance,reflecting on feedback, and applying learned principles in real situations [18]. By supportingstudents' pursuits, mentorship helps individuals handle challenges independently and equips themwith skills necessary for success in whichever situations they meet [19

While this can be challenging in higher education settings,where it is not typically possible for instructors to visit students’ home communities tounderstand their cultural and everyday experiences and then design curricula that connect tothose experiences, there are ways to identify such funds of knowledge [9]. For instance, facultymay survey their students [6] or ask students to write reflections that connect their funds ofknowledge to course activities [10].Querencia, a specific form of place-based learning, refers to attachment to a place that signalsreciprocity with place [11

Mission for a Holistic Education: Pilot ImplementationAbstractThe evolution of engineering education over the past few decades reflects the growingcomplexity of the challenges engineers encounter in today’s world. Where once technicalproficiency was the primary emphasis of engineering education, there is now a growingrecognition of the distinct but complementary role that professional formation plays in shapingwell-rounded engineers [1] [2] [3]. A holistic approach to engineering education will help usshape future engineers who possess the foundational knowledge and applied skills in theirdiscipline, as well as across disciplinary boundaries, along with global and cultural awareness,social responsibility, ethical leadership, and sustainability

For example,the Canons of Ethics by the American Society of Civil Engineers emphasized technicalcompetence, safety, and accountability [5]. Over time, engineering ethics evolved to includebroader societal concerns, such as environmental stewardship during the environmentalmovements of the 1960s and 1970s. Frameworks like sustainable design and corporate socialresponsibility emerged, reflecting a growing recognition of the interconnectedness betweenengineering practices and societal impacts [4

Together, self-efficacy and resilience form a dynamic interplay that helps individualsnavigate academic and life challenges [18-20].This study builds on these theoretical foundations to investigate how achievement goals shapemotivational profiles and their impact on self-efficacy and resilience among undergraduateengineering students.

The interaction with instructors is intended to provide positive reinforcementand “just in time” intervention using the principles of being a reflective teacher outlined byBrookfield (1995). In the PSS, the interactions meet the criteria defined by Chi et al and providefor increased formative assessment opportunities within the learning environment from peers andinstructors “in the moment.” Furthermore, LeDoux and Waller (2016) measured the impact ofthis approach on student learning with summative assessments and conclude that “no matterwhat level of

They wrotean abstract-length reflection on how they could use what they learned in this course later in theircareers.

Teaching methods, materials, and activities also vary. Someinstructors lecture, others demonstrate or discuss, some focus on principles, and others onapplications. There are studies arguing that the most effective teaching can be achieved when thematerials and activities overlap with the students' learning styles [1], [2]. There are several methodsand indexes categorizing learning styles [3].
