The objective of the study is to understand and discuss the benefits of involvingundergraduate students in research study early in their academic careers. In the study, the researchstudents help investigate the impact of gaming experience on the ability of participating studentsto learn and follow instructions.

Thefield of Electrical Engineering is a very challenging subject for most students, and isoften perceived as too difficult. It was also observed that the retention rate was very poorfor these students in their freshman and sophomore years. With the help of IEEEOfficers and graduate as well as undergraduate students, the IEEE mentoring office wascreated. The IEEE mentoring office provides help to engineering students with theircourse work, lab work and career planning.

In fact, Manesh et. al, theorize that diversifying the construction workforce is aneffective strategy to ensure the economic growth of the nation and will also help the industry tomeet the increased demand for new workers [7]. The potential for additional minorityrepresentation in the construction industry remains great. In 2021, only 11% of constructionworkers were women, 6.3% were African American and 2.1% were Asian.

Accounting for adaptability when considering theextent to which WATPS are used can enable more individualized support for instructors duringperiods of change.I. IntroductionInstructors are challenged to implement and sustain a wide array of teaching practices andstrategies (WATPS) in undergraduate courses because WATPS have been shown to improvestudents’ conceptual understanding, appeal to a diverse set of students, and increase persistencein engineering, especially among underrepresented groups [1], [2], [3], [4]. The adoption of aWATPS can produce more workforce ready engineers that innovate in creative ways. Engineersgraduating from universities

Reasons that these students report leaving engineering often include poor performancein introductory coursework [6], negative experiences with faculty [7], a poor sense of fit [8], andgenerally unwelcoming environments in their schools of engineering [9]. Conversely, whenunderrepresented students experience social support, encounter role models [10], and receiveassistance navigating the engineering curriculum [11], they experience positive engineering-related outcomes. One way to provide these beneficial layers of support for students who areearly in their academic careers is through the implementation of formalized peer mentoring

In sum, research regarding the self-determination theory would suggest that both perceived success and the sense of support in the form of a caring instructor would predict overall motivation or empowerment as described in the MUSIC model. The usefulness factor in the MUSIC model suggests that motivation increases when students perceive the utility of their academic work toward earning their degree or their future career. The utility of their work can be in the short term, such as needing to pass a required course, or in the longer term, such as the value of learning information relevant
