. IntroductionDiversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) have been discussed in terms of social coexistence forindividuals with disabilities [1], retention of underrepresented minority faculty [2],understanding student perception on social justice in urban planning [3], teaching empathythrough critical service-learning [4], accessibility in the build environment [5], student recruitstrategies [6], and engineering faculty hiring practices [7]. In contrast with these approaches, ourpaper addresses DEI by reframing it within the contexts of geospatial literacy teaching andlearning that aims to empower students as potential change makers in their careers as geospatialprofessionals.Society is grappling with several domestic issues including social injustices borne along

cultures in this inequality. Second, Cech examines how cultural definitions of “good work” and “good workers” can anchor inequality in the workforce. For example, she examines the role of the “passion principle” in the reproduction of occupational inequalities: how seemingly voluntary and self-expressive career decisions help reproduce processes like occupational sex segregation. Finally, she studies how cultural understandings of the extent and origin of inequality help to uphold unequal social structures. Cech’s research is funded by multiple grants from the National Science Foundation. She is a member of the editorial board of the American Journal of Sociology and her research has been cited in The New York Times
-inducing activitiessuch as meeting peers and introduction to course content are completed before “day one” of thecourse.A major objective of a pre-course session is the instructor’s opportunity to frame why a course isnecessary and how the knowledge is to be acquired. This vision can be challenging to highlighteffectively in the ‘day one’ excitement and angst, or after the lesson flow of the course hasbegun. The framing focus can motivate students and help them connect the course objectives toachieving their goals. Providing a framing structure in the course will help students take that firststep, or next step, on their career path.The pre-course session may also provide scaffolding and pre-teaching content to better preparestudents for the course

Instructional designers must create content that allows forteaching the fundamentals of a discipline and leaves space for cultivating and discussing newideas. Underserved populations in engineering have been shown to stick with careers where theyfeel they have a social and global impact so incorporation of applications and examples intocurriculum is essential [1, 2].

. ● In Oka et al. [12], satisfaction with career and professional development was not indicated as a category of low satisfaction for women. However, when we disaggregated the responses by FB status, we found that while 86% of USB women expressed moderate or extreme satisfaction in this area, only 44% of FB women did, which was statistically significantly lower (P = 0.5). Some studies in the past (e.g., Wells [6], Mamiseishvili [10]) 9 have reported similar observations. The current study again highlights the importance of analyzing data of FB faculty separate from USB faculty to assess their career experience
- Applying a Design, Development, and Testing Exercise to Augment the Early-Stage Undergraduate Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Experience I. INTRODUCTION The challenging and encouraging nature of a research environment can contribute to thesuccessful application and retention of knowledge for a college student. It is important forengineering students to realize the benefits of participating in a research laboratory during theirundergraduate career. This paper presents the design, construction, and testing of a thrust stand todemonstrate the core principles taught in advanced engineering courses. The thrust stand wasdesigned to facilitate the testing and evaluation of different types of motors
, and one two-item scale which assessed students’ confidence in onlineengineering learning. Data analysis for the open-ended questions was guided by the theoreticalframework - Social Cognitive Career Theory [1] that explores how context, person factors andsocial cognitions contribute to career goals, interests and actions. A phenomenological approach[2] was conducted to understand the experience of these students. Open coding and axial coding[2] methods were used to create initial categories then themes related to students' concerns andchallenges. Data from the two-item scale was evaluated using descriptive statistics: means,standard deviations, and ranges.Four main themes with separate sub-categories emerged from the student responses: 1
understanding of electromagneticinterference and EMC principles, as well as to prepare students for EMC circuit design issues intheir future careers in industry and academia. The course covers topics such as howelectromagnetic interference affects electronic devices, how to design electronic systems that meetthe United States and international EMC standards, different coupling mechanisms, radiated andconducted emissions and susceptibility, crosstalk, grounding, and shielding, and system design forEMC.This course is cross-listed for both undergraduate and graduate students. While the graduatestudents have a background in wave propagation, antenna radiation, and other related topics, theundergraduate students may only have finished junior-level

progress describes a pilot to incorporate critical reflection activities, completed byindividuals and by teams, during the implementation of design activities in an early-career,project-based learning context. As described in full below, critical reflection has beendemonstrated as a high-impact practice that can deepen learning and cultivate a productivefuture-oriented mindset [1]–[3]. Thus, activities that incorporate reflection into projects havegrown in use and garnered increased attention in engineering education for their transformativepotential [4]–[6]. Further, consistently engaging in reflection on learning as a community has thepotential to develop environments and classroom cultures that value student growth andcommunity [7].Critical

Instruction (SI). This peer support is a non-remedial way to usenear-peers to increase success in traditionally difficult academic, gate-keeper, courses. Typically,these courses are chosen because about 30% of students earn a D, F, or W. In this study thesupport is Technology Assisted Supplemental Instruction (TASI) in Statics courses and itsimpact on Latinx students. Students’ sense of belonging and self-efficacy indicators weregathered and paired with final course grade as an academic marker of effectiveness of theintervention. This study is also notable, as it uses anti-deficit lens to understand not only theliterature but the effectiveness of the intervention.LITERATUREDespite being equally likely to pursue careers in STEM [1] and narrowing rates

Students can use job posting sites from both schools whenlooking for internships and jobs, giving them a broader view and a better chance of findingsomething that fits for them. Although there are many advantages to this dual degree program, there are still somedrawbacks as well. The major drawback is from an institutional side and is related to one of thestudent advantages. Students never see bills from the secondary university. Everything is sentthrough the business offices between the two schools. The communication between these officescan be difficult at times, and sometimes students will get lost in the shuffle. Those bills end upnot being paid and billed

by Vigeant and Golightly [12] recommends buildingcourse attributes to take advantage of intrinsic motivation including topics such as realproblems, topics focused on their career, and something that is personally meaningful.In order to leverage intrinsic motivation, the SafeChE initiative modules are built uponreal industrial incidents that were investigated by the CSB. The expectation of theSafeChE initiative is that these real-world case studies will show students howknowledge they are obtaining in their current class can be applied to safety within afuture career in industry. Also, since the CSB investigates incidents within the UnitedStates, some of our domestic students may study an incident that occurred “close tohome”.Another aspect
