It aims tointegrate first-year students into the MSE department and promote their academic successthrough activities including student panels and lessons on time management and wellness. TheMSE seminar is based on an academic success strategies course developed at the start of thepandemic that emphasized time management, wellness, and reflective change [28]. Both courseswere taught by department faculty and integrated significant peer interactions.This study had two research questions: (1) How do students perceive belonging in the two engineering departments? (2) Are there differences in students’ perceptions of belonging between students who

Content uncertainty includes questions about the ideas, approaches, or intended endresult of an activity. This type of uncertainty is similar to what Hartner-Tiefenthaler et al. refer toas epistemological uncertainty, which they define as a “subjective feeling of being unsure aboutthe content, process or outcome of a task.” (p. 21, 2018). We adopt the latter term,epistemological uncertainty, to reflect that questions about process can include questions aboutwhat counts as valuable ways of knowing and doing

The rising price of fossil fuels has been reflected in the heating expenses of Yakutia residents. In fact, many residents are unable to afford heat for the entire winter (5 months).
