outcomes to better prepare our engineering graduates to enter the professionalengineering workforce post graduation, including “an ability to function effectively on a teamwhose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment,establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives” [8]. Representation of women in STEM shouldnot only be reflective of the larger population but should also include representation acrossleadership levels to best improve progress towards global competitiveness.With the increased focus on relevant teamwork experiences in engineering undergraduateprograms comes a focus on how to navigate team dynamics and students’ roles on project teams.Specifically, faculty are curious on how to evaluate

Plans are outlined forassessment of the effectiveness of the lab in improving conceptual understanding of the technicalcontent, broadening the experimental experience, and enhancing the ability to use appropriatetechnical language when comparing test data and theoretical predictions.IntroductionStudents generally learn more when actively engaged in the classroom, especially in collegelevel STEM courses [1]. Despite the benefits, instructors experience time management andbudgetary barriers when creating predominantly active learning events such as a hands-onlaboratory activity [2]. For these reasons, the majority of large-enrollment college courses stilluse traditional passive based lecture environments [3].At the United States

In covering alternative transportation fuels, we cover the link betweenconventional food production and fossil fuel use and the disruption of the nitrogen cycle byammonia-derived fertilizers. The course also covers carbon dioxide removal (CDR)technologies including enhanced weathering, biochar, afforestation, and direct air capture(DAC).The final

The OM project instructorinformed the OM students that she would like to see them use the Agile Project Managementmethods to manage the project. She then gave the three OM students a crash course on SCRUMand Agile.

Two members of the research team (the lead researcher and graduate assistant)reviewed the pre-test data to monitor completion and any potential issues. Students had two-three weeksto complete the assignment. Once the assignment deadline had passed, the course instructors againdistributed the Qualtrics survey link via Canvas for the students who had consented to complete the post-test.For this work-in-progress, the researchers decided to focus on the survey data only due to spaceconstraints, but plan to use qualitative analysis methods for the assignment data in

The retentionand attrition rates are usually at the center of this discussion as they can be directly linked toother metrics, including graduation rates. Several AEC programs also explored the idea of aninterdisciplinary/multi-disciplinary curriculum, which utilized a common curriculum in the firstand second years for multiple majors [8-10].Two specific observations can be noted from the decades-long research work: 1) the first andsecond-year success and

becoming industry/professional contacts once they graduatedand described the experience overall as positive. This aligns with previous findings that facultymentors feel satisfaction not only in their own achievements but also an even greater feeling ofsatisfaction when looking at the success of their mentees who went on to take leadership roles intheir careers [8]. The benefits that a mentor gains is subjective to them and is based on the goalsthat they had entered the program with. However, an overarching theme amongst the responsesfrom the mentors was the satisfaction of seeing their mentees succeed.Future WorkWe plan to survey and interview S-STEM students about their mentor-mentee experiences andthe benefits they gained from these interactions

The straightforward andrelatively safe application of the Unit Cost approach should be distinguished from very challengingand time-consuming Detailed Costing, which requires exhaustive Work Breakdown Statementsand Bills of Materials at a minimum.

National LongitudinalTransition Study-2 (NLTS2) shows that if individuals with autism get to college, they are likelyto gravitate towards engineering, math and computer science [15]. At the same time, anecdotally,autistic individuals have presented their talents of design and their passion of building anddesigning projects (e.g. Temple Grandin, John Elder Robison). Therefore, as educators andresearchers plan to provide opportunities for ALL children to excel in fields they have potentialin, it is important to focus on design, engineering and computer science when it comes to autisticchildren.

At the same time, reaching out to your disabled students tosee if there is any feedback on the accommodations you have implemented for the class couldbe beneficial. Discussions of accommodations should always be done in private, so schedulingan email to send to students with accommodations mid-way through the semester is a quickway to solicit feedback. Disclosing accommodations can be daunting and having someonewilling to have continued open communication can be helpful.Accommodation needs might change within a semester, due to a new diagnosis, a change intreatment plans, or something else—like a global pandemic.

The second initiative is to introduce storytelling with the FCs tocapture their reflection on their journey to better understand and take action on student learningand retention issues and then use these stories to share with others to help motivate additionalfaculty engagement. Another ongoing task is further testing the project assumptions and theoriesof change to refine a framework to cultivate motivation and change to improve student successand retention and incorporate evidence-based instructional strategies.AcknowledgmentsThis
