So providing studentsopportunities to give kindness to others may be impactful. There are examples of this throughservice-learning activities [46] and through acts of intentional kindness [45]. An ideas that fitsinto more traditional engineering courses with team projects includes requesting that teammatesgive a few elements of positive feedback to their peers. In most engineering settings the normappears to be that good behavior is not commented upon because it is expected. That means thatpeople are more often given critiques or negative feedback.

Reflection prompts can guide studentsto articulate a problem and develop their problem-solving skills [3].In a Data Structures and Algorithms courses we expect students to use their knowledge fromintroductory programming courses to implement data structures and algorithms for solvingproblems efficiently in terms of space and time complexity [4]. Assignments and projects in DataStructures and Algorithms require students to make decisions about what data structures to useand are challenging enough that jumping straight into coding is not an efficient way to solve theproblem. Students often have a hard time choosing the most efficient data structure, which maybe less familiar, rather than the data structures they are comfortable

Psychological safety alsoimpacts both decision quality and team performance [46]. Again, these factors are relevant forengineering design teams because engineers often work on projects with lasting impacts; gooddecisions and good team performance can contribute to better outcomes for society. Finally, partof psychological safety is inclusion safety, which leads to an increased sense of belonging [39].This suggests that psychological safety is a relevant construct for engineering educationresearchers and practitioners.2.4 Improvisational trainingImprovisational

Simply adding discussions can have a positive impact onstudents’ intrinsic motivation [19]. If we use Bonwell and Eison’s [20] definition of activelearning as “anything that involves students doing things and thinking about the things they aredoing,” the possibilities are vast. Nie and Lau [1] found adding small activities that encouragestudents to explore in-depth, analyze, discuss, write, apply, or question increased students’ deepprocessing strategies and increased self-efficacy.
