worse for low-income and URM students [6].• In cohort 3, the annual survey showed potential issues in academic integrations and self- regulation. Academic integration is a measure of the students’ perceptions of their academic experiences with faculty, counselors, and administrators, as well as perceptions about their career preparation at their institutions. Self-regulation is the awareness, knowledge, and control of cognition. It includes the students’ ability to control their effort and attention in the face of distraction and uninteresting tasks [5] which also may reflect the potential lack of motivation seen in the pandemic generation [6].• Academic performance goals as measured by GPA were met with recent cohort

In contrast, anabstraction-based approach to learning—reflected in different patterns of neural activity—mayemphasize the abstract design rules governing the example designs, thus offering protection fromdesign fixation to their features. Based on prior literature, we further hypothesize [1], [2], thatdifferences in domain expertise between mechanical engineering and product design wouldmitigate these effects.MethodOverview & Design

In fact, as hedescribes engineering as full of those with “intelligent minds,” we see that he counts himselfamong those with the potential to join them. Demonstrating that on a subconscious level, hecounts himself among those that fit the mold, and because of that, we see an immense boost tobelonging and confidence that he can become an engineer.
