Instructors need to helpstudents become cognizant of their teamwork skills, such as conflict resolution, scrum values, andcultural self-awareness. In this research paper, we intend to understand the perception of studentsenrolled in a sophomore-level system's course regarding conflict resolution skills, scrum values,and cultural self-awareness. We also want to understand how the perception of these values isrelated to one another. In the light of this study, we want to answer the following research questions(1) How do students' reported conflict management skills relate to their reported scrum values?

program director, Dr. David Tomblin, on how power came up in the firstcolloquium course: Students conducted a semester-long project examining how COVID-19 impacted the campus and local community. This was an opportunity to see how power is distributed within a local community. In teams, students interviewed approximately 30 stakeholders in the community to identify how the pandemic influenced them. This data was analyzed to identify problems that needed to be addressed within the community. We used several STS concepts and analyses to look at the data from a variety of perspectives to understand how power is unevenly distributed within communities. We looked for structural influences of power on communities.In the

In-person recruiting events were planned in the service areas ofeach of the community colleges and in a 10-county region surrounding the university. Theoriginal plan for programming was to offer special events and speakers on each campusthroughout the academic year so that all of the scholars could meet each other and learn moreabout the engineering profession. When events were held on the university campus, the goal wasto showcase the laboratories and programs available once students complete their associate’sdegree and transfer and for them to begin developing relationships

Recruitment and retention of women and minorities is criticalto closing the predicted gap in the nation’s STEM workforce. Women make up about one half ofthe population and Hispanics about 19%. More so, the projected number of Hispanics in the UnitedStates is expected to double by 2060 [2]. Representation of these groups is not reflected in theSTEM fields, and we must take action to promote
