characteristics of students that persist in the Loyola University Chicago Engineering program from the Class of 2022 and 2023? • To what extent and in what ways does a curricular emphasis on active learning promote student engagement and persistence among engineering students, particularly women?Based on the research literature, we hypothesized that students enrolled in the Loyola UniversityChicago engineering program would have a higher level of persistence than students in otherEngineering programs. Also, we hypothesized that engagement would be more critical forwomen than men for persisting in the Engineering program. 5DesignParticipants

This factprecluded any significant work on the grant. Furthermore, all access to campus was closed untilthe Spring 2021 semester at which time only limited access became available.

Inaddition to the networking event, through the project we have also developed a website withcurated resources for researchers entering the field of EER.The networking event was designed as an independent virtual event in order to maximize ourteam’s control of a virtual platform (e.g. designing/assigning breakout rooms in advance), andcontrol for unknowns surrounding the status of the

Even though other mentors werewilling to volunteer for the project, the project team chose two industry mentors to work onindustry-relevant problem designs due to time constraints.

Given CISTAR’s focus as an ERC, we choose Energy for OurGrowing World: How a wide range of energy sources (renewables, emerging energytechnologies—biofuels, solar, nuclear, wind—and fossil fuels and shale) serve the needs ofpeople, and how we balance those needs against the impact these energy sources differentiallyhave on our world. The advantages of having a common theme around Energy for Our GrowingWorld are five-fold:1. The topic of
