Several studentsrecommended that future projects have more structure. Overall, while the mentees credited theirmentors for being understanding and having the ability to explain their research projects, thementees were of mixed opinions about their mentors’ abilities to create a well-structured projectfor them to accomplish in a short time frame. Not surprisingly, we found that the most effectiverelationships included those with a well-defined scope and mentor who

-planned educational programs, and targeted actions at educational institutions at every level.[7]While these are essential, another significant challenge identified lately is the declining interestand participation of middle and high school students[10] especially in non-medical STEM fields,which poses a major hurdle in meeting the growing demand for a skilled energy STEMworkforce. The school-level energy STEM education thus needs a complete reform to be moreengaging and capable of addressing educational challenges in order to make a sustainableenergy-STEM workforce pipeline.[1]To tackle the observed shortfall, and to drive and propagate STEM literacy among middle- andhigh schoolers in Nebraska, meaningful outreach efforts have been made by

Felder and Brentrecommended the following considerations for STEM instructors who evaluate textbook options: ● book reviews, ● match of content and the content order to the course plan, ● instructor supports (test question banks, illustrations, and other materials to support lectures), ● learner supports (self-tests, practice problems with answers), ● inclusion of multimedia (illustrations, tutorials, equations), and ● cost to students [2].However, newer faculty may be advised to replicate what their peers have already developed orto

Undergraduate student leaders in STEM outreach programs value the ability toapply what they learned in their own courses and transfer the knowledge to the outreachparticipants [23]. The student leaders expressed feeling challenged–yet rewarded–to think innew ways. Several studies have found that students improve their communication, teamwork,and other professional skills from their experience leading outreach activities [23-25]. Studentsalso reported improved understanding of technical content [23, 25]. Participating in outreach caninfluence students’ post-graduate plans, such as attending graduate school [26

In the context of studyabroad programs, this can help students to actively plan their cultural engagements, monitor theirinteractions and emotional responses [25], and evaluate the effectiveness of their new interactionin navigating cultural challenges and adjusting as needed in the host country.The interplay between metacognitive knowledge and regulation is crucial. As Veenman et al.[26] argue, effective learning requires both the awareness of one’s cognitive processes(knowledge) and the ability to control and adjust these processes (regulation). Therefore,combining metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive regulation forms an effective frameworkfor understanding how students develop intercultural competence. Metacognitive

sculptures, also provide insight into earlyhuman design practices and the role of form and aesthetics in design. However, the writtenhistorical record of evidence of early humanoids' cognitive awareness of design as a formalprocess is weak, or nonexistent. Even the way we think about design, whether as a linear process,cyclical, or continuous can impact how we embody it in the world of objects, plans, devices,technology, human, or more-than-human concerns [32]. These more-than-human conceptsinclude ecological agency and systems, biocentrism, Anthropocene, non-life entities, and AI androbotic systems.The English word ‘design’ has its origin in the 1540s, meaning “to plan or outline or a scheme orplan in mind” derived from the French ‘desseign’ which

This feature isalso useful since students can decide whether they desire to to create their own part or if purchasinga similar part is better. Another limitation is that the tool only considers specific FFF style printers,so other forms of additive manufacturing, or other FFF style printers cannot be used due to costsvarying. A third limitation is that students in the School of ECS only have access to polylacticacid (PLA) and Glycol-Modified PCT Copolymer (PCTG) plastics, thus there is also a design forfunction consideration necessary when using the tool since acrylic or other laser cutting materialscan bear more load than such plastics.

This group of students tendto receive negative feedback and, as a result, may be more likely to change their academic plans,which can widen the racial/ethnic gap in STEM. Negative feedback can exacerbate existingissues, such as stereotypes and biases, that may lead them to believe they do not belong in STEMfields [7]. Additionally, negative feedback can discourage these students from seeking support,mentoring, and guidance, which can further disadvantage them [7]. As a result, historicallymarginalized communities have lower retention and higher
