These agentic behaviors include intentionalityand forethought which help guide the plans for action, as well as self-reactiveness and self-reflection which allows for one to persevere through challenges and self-examine their progress[13].

Our first class sequence is a bench design, our second class sequenceis a small pilot and third year will be a full pilot plant with subsequent years scaling to fullproduction.

].Other research efforts show that students also have a lack of confidence, interest and sense ofbelonging [4, 9, 10] in engineering programs. There is evidence that they still struggle withcareer decisions into their fourth year [5]. To have a positive impact on student motivation andproblem-solving skills, these concerns must also be addressed. The sense of belonging, thefeeling of being technically competent and socially comfortable, the ability of students to asktheir own questions, plan their research, analyze their own findings and communicate their ownknowledge enable a more effective and lasting learning [5, 11].This is why active learning methods can increase student retention rates and engagement inengineering programs [12-14].
