Of the thirty graduates, nineteen havegraduated as mechanical engineers, eight as biomedical engineers, two computer engineers, andone as construction technology (an engineering technology major). The major from the MarianUniversity has a wide range, with sixteen math majors, six chemistry majors, four biologymajors, and one major each from business, computer science, theology, and Spanish. Other than the variety in majors, the retention, graduation, six year graduation, and jobplacement rates are all very high.

In another model the Teaching AssistantConsultant (TAC) program for engineering GTAs at the University of Victoria, Canada, [19]appointed a senior graduate student with prior experience as a mentor to other GTAs. At theCollege of Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University, a 1-credit hour seminar course wasmandatory for all graduate assistants with teaching responsibility [20].

experiences for pre-college students. Furthermore, theexpanding agenda to enrich Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)education is often proposed as a solution to educational inequities (Bullock, 2017). While we areencouraged by efforts to strengthen the PCEE infrastructure we propose more robustconsiderations are necessary to examine how these investments of resources will not deepenongoing inequities, particularly as STEM courses suffer from an exclusionary culture (Carter etal., 2019; Nasir & Vakil, 2017). In this paper, we will explore critical consciousness as a conceptual framework that canassist pre-college engineering educators in advancing equitable PCEE. Critical consciousnesscan help educators disavow

Content coverage and technology issues weresome of the persisting challenges and Kellam felt that these challenges are not relatable toteacher empathy but felt that empathetic actions helped in providing a better learning experiencebeyond these challenges.This study shows that teacher empathy is a skillset that can be incorporated within engineeringclassrooms. We were able to extend Walther et al.’s [1] work and utilize the model of empathyframework for engineering educators. We also extended the use of Youmans [15] empatheticactions list and found positive use for engineering educators.Implications and future work: The biggest takeaways from this study are, 1) teacher empathyincreases the chance of having a better classroom

This project focuses on creating assorted resources toengage all students regardless of background in different ways of learning to create a solid baseunderstanding of the material and increase success in future courses as well as in the students'future engineering careers. Our approaches include a granular course structure, differentinstructional technologies, support of learning assistants in the classroom, tutoring outside theclassroom, and different forms of assessment and accessibility.

Additional labor may come in the form of the desire to be involved in outreach1 These efforts often include the aforementioned diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice, but can also includeaccess, belonging, and other goals. Each goal is distinct, but for the purposes of this paper, we will use “socialjustice” as an umbrella term to refer to these goals collectively [11], [12], [14

To better understand these potentialissues, the National Academies published a call to action [4] recommending (among other foci)research on graduate student mental health and well-being within graduate science, technology,engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines as a necessary part of recruitment and retention ofgraduate students and the future PhD-holding workforce, including the professoriate. Graduate student mental health is of particular concern because of the mental health crisisamong students in the higher education system.
