Future studies should be expanded witha large data set or with different disciplines contexts.

Table 1 shows the titles for the pre-COVID labs as well as the main concepts taught during the labs. All labs were performed inteams of three to four students in a traditional laboratory space. The labs were designed to bemore and more open-ended as the term progressed to allow students to build their confidence inexecuting and designing open-ended experiments. As previous lab courses tended to be theorybased and limited in outcomes, this was a mental hurdle for some students. A
engineering education was not nationally recognized nor supported until the publication ofNGSS [22]. With renewed national investment into STEM education, it appears EEJ publicationshave focused on student conceptions and learning about engineering. On the other hand, OEJpublications focus on ways in which engineering can be utilized to better support learning in theclassroom. One way is through teacher professional development around engineering contentknowledge and training in new engineering-infused curricula (e.g. Engineering is Elementary,Project Lead the Way).

While more money is spent on preparing students foruniversity STEM programs, the number of engineering graduates continues to decrease, andattrition rates for engineering undergraduates remains high [13]. Educators are continually striving for better, more effective and efficient ways to teachtheir students. In the past few decades, several research projects have emerged which compareand contrast several different techniques, methodologies, and resources. In addition to this, thenumber of resources and teaching philosophies have increased exponentially. Some innovationshave included clickers, online homework, interactive textbooks, and adaptive software. As aresult, many studies

We were generally impressed with the range in the categories ofresponses that we received from students, which demonstrates that students in engineering areconsidering many facets of inequity in design. As Odumosu et al. (2018) saw, having students beactive knowledge producers in the classroom was a useful pedagogical tool. A major takeaway from the project was that while our intentions were to work within anasset-based model, what we were asking students to do was inherently focused on deficits. Whenwe asked students to find a product design that they would deem a failure, we elicited responsesin which students would look for deficits in engineering designs, and then subsequently askedthem how they would ‘fix

Stigmas are usually identifiable by twomain components, the recognition of difference and devaluation (Pryor & Reeder., 2013). Pryorand Reeder (2013) go on to further explain the purpose of stigmas with one of the key functionsbeing exploitation and domination. Where they describe how stigmas are used by those in powerto maintain the inequality between those with less so they will stigmatize them. Now in mostcases when one

In particular, if students work in group projects as part of their coursework, theyare highly likely to interact with those students for group work, and also on other academicmatters.Lack of interaction with campus events, student support, and advisorsOne of the major investments that many universities are currently making is in support staff andstructures for students. These include student support services, advising support, and evencoaching. Findings from our study show that NTSE students rarely use these services and theavailability of these services, especially if they are on campus, are not necessarily beneficial tothis student population.Negative outcomes with faculty membersIn terms of the quality of interactions

persistence. It is possible that students’ interest dropped because they learned moreabout engineering and were no longer interested, but it is also possible that the lower interest wasa result due to their underachievement. Other parts of the SEVT framework also help to identifylikelihood of persistence. One interesting factor to consider in future research is the perceivedcosts of engineering school. It is possible that a different intervention timeline be used for studentswho receive a C in math, that could occur in the second semester. One on one discussions aboutachievement and effort with either peers or advisors could be both a research project as well as aneffective retention intervention.
