students in the lowest quartile for standard deviation of the SDI,three reported high motivation regardless of the activity (see students 1661, 4786, and 7520 inTable 5).Student 7520’s average SDI by activity type did show, on average, higher motivation in moreactive learning settings. Comments revealed that passive classroom activities were not as“enjoyable” to this student, but their motivation was still high compared to other students due toconsistently low amotivation and relatively high identified regulation. Student 7520’s lowest SDIof 7.5 corresponded to the passive lecture L5STF, commenting that “A PowerPoint on a Fridayis kind of hard to pay attention to, especially when the lectures are typically more engaged.”Student 7520’s responses

While the hands-on experiences are essential, it is crucial to learn how to sharethose experiences concisely and clearly with others. These skills will be necessary to preparestudents for senior-level projects. Some of the concepts the students learned in this project are: Design and Build Testing and Troubleshooting Engineering Mechanics principles Manufacturing Processes Project Management Skills Communication Skills Problem Solving Skills Physics of Motion Measurement SkillsThe
, andcommunicate their understanding of the topic to others.For each lab module, students were provided with one or two research or technical article(s)relevant to the topic of the given lab module. Students were asked to read the assigned paper(s)outside of class prior to each lab module. During the first lab session of each lab module, theywere tasked to develop a “consensus concept map” as a team using Cmap software (IHMC). Themain goals of the concept mapping were to allow students to identify what knowledge they doand do not have, actively look up the meanings of any unknown terms, communicate and discusswhat they have learned, and finally organize concepts in a meaningful way to represent the topicin a team setting. This approach was chosen to

[2] Inaddition, the demand for skilled STEM workers is projected to increase. Although many effortshave been taken to increase STEM interest and STEM career pursuit, shortages in the STEMfield continue to exist. STEM fields do not attract and retain enough workers from youngergenerations.[3],[4],[5] As a result, the current and estimated supply to the STEM workforce doesnot meet the growing demand. [6],[7] Additionally, there is a need to address the disparateimpact of race/ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status on students’ access to andengagement with STEM opportunities

Additionally, the study should evaluate articles cited by those already in the QSR,incorporating those articles that meet the QSR protocol criterion for inclusion in the study.Finally, the revised study should develop and subsequently incorporate a means to assess therelative degree each article reflects each factor identified in the study (i.e., identification,environment, capitals, processes).
