asignificant effect on aerospace student persistence past their first year nor students’ academic at-risk status. There were small inverse effects, suggesting that decreased financial means led togreater academic at-risk status but also higher persistence. However, once again, these resultswere not statistically significant.All of these studies have looked at student outcomes at one point in time, such as graduationrates, persistence into the engineering profession, or academic at-risk status after their first year.While these are important metrics, only looking at one point in students’ undergraduateeducation cannot shed insight into the place(s) in the curriculum that are causing inequitableoutcomes. To begin to answer this question, researchers

This means that inclusion, however it is measured, has to beconsidered as a function of a host of demographic variables (race/ethnicity, gender, etc.) toaddress, as much as Center numbers allow, the intersectional nature of individuals with the endgoal of showing that inclusion is a shared, consensual experience, and not just reflective of thosein the numerical majority.Devising a Culture of Inclusion survey instrument for ERCs. ERCs can choose, or create, theassessment(s) or survey instrument(s) appropriate to best meet the needs of their Center.

Assessment of Belonging among Computing StudentsAbstract Creating a Computer Science and Software Engineering Department that supports stu-dents with diverse identities and backgrounds is essential to creating a computing workforce thatreflects the world at large. Inspired by the work of Metcalf et al.’s survey conducted at the Uni-versity of Illinois [1], we use the same methods to examine the state of our computing depart-ment with respect to issues of inclusive climate and student sense of belonging, which have beenshown to be important for retention in STEM fields [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]. We use the four areasthat contribute to belonging based on the work of Rainey et al. [9] along with a fifth category oflearning environment in

getting usage is promising.Clearly a more aggressive advertisement campaign is required to increase awareness andadoption by the campus population. Despite the low adoption, students who worked on thisproject did feel like they had learned something about app development. Once the issues withthe awareness of the app have been remedied, there is potential to increase the functionality ofthe app to allow campus community members to file care reports directly from the app to theschool’s behavioral health management team and provide functionality to help people who mayhave learning disabilities (diagnosed or undiagnosed) get connected to resources on campus toget the help they need.Works Cited[1] S.

reporting mechanism indicate that students were aware of and used oursafety systems to manage hazards, and that they sought opportunities to report on and respond to safetyconcerns. We believe that the reason our methods were effective was because of their integration into theday-to-day operation of the lab (e.g., safety moments) and because they provided students with controland responsibility over how safety information was disseminated in the lab (e.g., incident and near missreporting). This study is a work in progress, and we intend to continue assessing student safetyperceptions in CHE Lab II, as well as CHE Lab I, which will provide a baseline understanding of safetyknowledge and perception.ReferencesÁlvarez-Chávez, C.
