The list ofresearch topics generated reflects main areas of faculty expertise with an expectation that incomingundergraduate students had little to no knowledge of. The forced-choice survey item required studentsto rate their interest for each topic using a 4-point Likert scale ranging from least interested (= 0) tomost interested (=3).

in this study share a lack ofbelongingness [14], [15] and feelings of not being understood, which is complicated by theirlegal status, language barrier, cultural difference, and daily life adjustment. These commonthreads limit international students from reaching their full potential in the success of their study,research, and social life. To examine the impact of the shared feelings among our participants, anadditional round of interviews and further data analysis are required.From our results, some preliminary recommendations to departments can be made. Contrary tocommon perceptions [27], faculties can reflect on what it means to be mentors instead of merelyadvisors and offer more personalized support to international students. At the

Then, instead of moving on tomore advanced Simulink models, which might approach the complexity and nonlinearity ofproblems in industry, I have students revisit the controls concepts coved in Simulink in anArduino-based hardware lab, before using that lab to introduce more abstract concepts such asinstability and frequency response. My goal is that while students may see somewhat fewerdistinct applications, this revisiting of familiar system in hardware can help them developstronger physical intuition that they can extrapolate to more advanced, less tactile, controlsproblems.MethodsIn my current control systems lecture course, I use a combination of simulation- and

The convenience sampling of studentsthrough research team contacts may have resulted in students more interested in reflecting onengineering work. Next steps within the larger research study include plans to intentionallyrecruit a more diverse student sample through program listservs, student organizations, andmultiple universities to ensure diversity across gender, race and ethnicity, experiences, andselected projects.

During testing, theinstructor occasionally paused the test in order to explain a structural behavior or answer anyquestions from the students. Fig. 8 (c) shows the buckled column and Fig. 8 (d) shows theinstructor pointing out the yielded steel. After the test, the students were required to reflect onthe following questions: 1.

This disparity is especially true in regions in which their richethnic diversity is not reflected in the demographics of students entering STEM degree programsor subsequently joining the STEM workforce. Relevant literature points to the fact that largeproportions of underrepresented students report fear of math and a lack of understanding ofopportunities in the STEM and energy sectors, thus leaving them barred from entry into existingacademic and career pathways in STEM [42], [43].The STEM Core model includes a developed summer bridge opportunity for rising high schoolseniors and dual-credit enrollees, recent high school graduates, and (perhaps) non-traditionalentering community college students to be held on-site at partner community

increasing diversity in designteams.Research on teams has shown that diversity, including gender diversity, leads to an increase in the qualityof work by improving collective intelligence of groups, encouraging equitable contributions in teamsettings, and adding new perspectives to groups [5]. Gender diversity, specifically within engineering, hasbeen investigated for many years, as it is widely accepted that the representation of women in engineeringneeds to be increased. This is reflected in efforts such as Engineers Canada’s 30 by 30 initiative, whichdirectly targets this goal by working with regulators, higher-education institutions, and other keystakeholders to increase the percentage of women in engineering [6].

time investment when first creating these problems is about one to two hours. Afterthey are created, they can be reused for subsequent classes with usually only minor updates (e.g.,adding clarity to the problem statement). The automated grading does save time but can generatea substantial increase in student questions. The quantity of these questions can be managed bythe following guidelines: • Provide students with a “MATLAB Grader Q & A” worksheet that contains answers to commonly asked questions regarding MATLAB Grader. • Insist that students come prepared with neatly written work describing their process instead of just their code. • Update the feedback within MATLAB Grader tests to reflect common errors or

While shifting the mindset from shame to guilt offered the mostreparative outlet of coping with the emotional experience, it was not the most accessible. Insteadof working through failure, many participants attempted to share the responsibility for failurewith others.

development, ANT itself has undergone many transformations and has been representedby many authors. Sociology and Science and Technology Studies (STS), the fields where ANT was firstdeveloped and used, have largely moved into a “post-ANT” space, as Latour, Law, and many others havepublished ANT critiques, rebuttals, reflections, and reformulations (e.g. Latour 1996; 1999; 2007; 2011;Law and Hassard 1999; Gad and Jensen 2010). As Gad and Jensen demonstrate, “post-ANT” does notmean that researchers have left ANT behind, but rather that they have questioned and extended itsapproaches in new work. Instead of straightforwardly applying ANT concepts and methods in newcontexts, most recent work in STS seeks to critique or respond to the theory in new
