Stefanou et al.’s framework, student autonomycan be promoted at three different levels: organizational, procedural, and cognitive. These threelevels include varying degree of student choice: organizational autonomy takes into account theenvironment (e.g., due dates), procedural autonomy incorporates form (e.g., deliverable form),and cognitive autonomy involves content (e.g., designing projects). This range of possible SDLexperiences allows for a wide interpretation of the role and value of SDL and student autonomyby both students and faculty. Using methods of grounded theory, three research questions wereaddressed: (a) How do the pedagogical practices in the first-year mathematics, physics, andengineering classes fit into Stefanou et al.’s

Moreover, patterns of networking asevident on social media can inform efforts to foster interdisciplinary learning opportunities.Social media data can also serve as a basis for the effectiveness of educational resources andtools shared online. These insights could also highlight areas where diversity and inclusivityefforts may be lacking, guiding institutions towards more equitable practices. Finally,tracking the post-graduation trajectories of alumni through social media can provide feedbackon the real-world applicability and success of engineering programs, enabling continuousrefinement and adaptation to industry needs.Oklahoma, like many other states in the U.S., face challenges in recruiting and retainingengineers in various sectors
