themajority of caregivers shared how this engineering design program afforded them time to spendwith their child(ren), as well as make connections with their child(ren). As one caregiver stated,it allowed her a space to enter into her son’s domain. “…having to do it as a family brought mecloser to Zac, and to his mind, and to his world.” This was dedicated time and space that wasoften spent on the chaotic day-to-day tasks. As stated by another caregiver, “I guess the mostthing that I got out of the program is that it gave me a chance to do something with my kidsbecause there wasn't a lot of time that was put in to doing things with them. Between me going towork, them at school, coming home and running over here, running over here, trying to

Some have engineering training, some do not. We explored the educational pathways of adult Makers and how they intersect with engineering” (Foster, Jordan, & Lande, 2017). § “This research is guided by the following research questions: (1) What can we learn about the educational pathways of adult Makers through the lens of constructivist grounded theory? and (2) How do the educational pathways of Makers intersect with engineering?

They also namedcuriosity about new knowledge as a key mindset to adaptability but did not mention othermindsets present in the CCT framework, such as confidence, feeling in control, or feelingconcerned (i.e., invested) about their work.Beyond the IAT and CCT frameworks, managers also mentioned other mindsets and behaviorsassociated with engineering adaptability, alluding to three categories: technical, interpersonal,and intrapersonal (our characterization).

, was used to show participants how power stationswork to provide electrical energy to the surrounding communities.Connection to NGSSThe lessons and activities of the Academy were designed to align with the NGSS and also the New York StateScience Learning Standards (NYSSLS). According to the NGSS, at the middle school level, the new standardsallow educators to provide participants with interactive instruction that promotes analysis and interpretation ofdata, critical thinking, problem-solving, and connections across science disciplines [3]. Keeping that in mind,the lessons were also developed to encourage participants to critically think about engineering at home. ThisAcademy gave participants the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities in
as cold-calling,group work, or the use of i-clickers, these activities may still be successfully implemented withsome modifications such that these students have advance notice that they will be called torespond, the roles of group members are clearly articulated, or students have a longer time toprovide their answer via an i-clicker, for example [28], [29]. Even with these sorts of challenges,in the context of a course that is thoughtfully designed with inclusion of neurodivergent studentsin mind, the hands-on, experiential nature of engineering work is particularly well suited tocombine with active learning activities such as case studies and problem based learning.Additionally, it has been found that hands-on and problem-based activities

forprofessional shame to occur. [9-10]. With this in mind, we have organized this study around thefollowing research questions:RQ1: How do students psychologically experience shame in the context of engineeringeducation?RQ2: How are these experiences located and socially constructed within the institutional culturesof engineering programs?RQ3: In the context of engineering education, how do individual, psychological experiences ofshame interact with perceived cultural expectations?To answer these research questions, we organized the study in two phases. In this paper, we willfocus on Phase 2 of this study which examines the experience of shame as an individual student(RQ1) within the context of engineering education as a student minoritized in
Alicia Beth Consulting2 , Island Pond, VT 05846 Burd’s Eye View Research & Evaluation3, Austin, TX 78704AbstractNorwich University, a private military college that serves both civilian and Corps of Cadetsstudents, secured an NSF S-STEM award to develop a program to attract and retain highlytalented, low-income students. Norwich recognizes that students who enter college with lessexperience in mathematics are less likely to graduate with a degree in a STEM discipline. Withthat in mind, the project aims to measure the benefits of a corequisite implementation ofprecalculus and calculus to help students complete the required calculus sequence by the end oftheir first year. In the first year of the study, 34 engineering students

diverse backgrounds, further disrupting efforts to form capableteams in those STEM enterprises.Historically, many diversity-focused interventions have centered on “fixing” the marginalizedminority to cope with the unwelcoming cultures in which they are situated. Instead, theinterventions in this project attempt to change the culture such that it respects and valuesdiversity in all of its forms.Leveraging diversity as a tool for confronting complex and persistent societal problems willtherefore require engineering and computer science educators to be attentive to priming allstudents to work on diverse teams and be committed to addressing matters of equity within theirrespective fields.
