presents a manual methodology of data mining studentsketches and presents conclusions for improving the CBL software and guidelines for instructors.Future work could include automation or semi-automation of the data mining process.Overall the Spatial Vis software was successful in improving the majority of students’ spatialvisualization ability as measured by the PSVT:R. In the class studied, the overall pre-test scoreaverage was 73% while the average post-test was 86%. Of special interest is studying studentswho entered the class with PSVT:R scores below 70% since prior studies have shown that thesestudents are at risk of dropping out of STEM [9], and in this group the PSVT:R scores increasedfrom 53% on the pre-test to 77% on the post-test.

, connection, and being valued, is a keyfactor in college students’ success. Belonging is positively associated with students’ transitionsto college, retention, persistence, and self-efficacy [4], [5]. Additionally, a sense of belonging iskey to one connecting with their classmates, their community, and eventually their profession[4]. This sense of belonging is not only invaluable to fostering connection and identity, it is alsokey to motivation and resilience [6].Lack of belonging negatively impacts students’ academic performance as well as theirengineering identity. Therefore, it is very important for engineering departments to foster a senseof belonging for students to identify with engineering and be successful in college [7]. Amongengineering

and students canbe met regardless of their prior experience. Results of camps can be quite striking, with their efficacy being measured in varied waysfrom one implementation to the next. One common method for analyzing the efficacy of acamp is the application of Pre- and Post-surveys. In some instances, though the majority ofteachers in a teacher-exclusive camp had an increase in pedagogical understanding, some K-12 teachers experienced decreases in evaluation metrics drawn from these surveys [27]. Othercamps showed strong increases in student’s self-described ability to identify cybersecurityrelated concepts and their self-identified desires to pursue the field of cybersecurity in thefuture professionally [28].

She received arecommendation for an internship from an engineer she connected with through FIRST robotics. One of the mentors is one of the engineers of this company now. He was just hired and so he recommended me for this job which I knew robotics would pay off, and not just learning how to use a tape measure, but actually having connections that will get me jobs in the future. … He remembered me and offered to let me work there as an intern for summer, cause he thought that I would be a good fit.Joy pulled from

The BOK for an ABET-accredited 4-yr surveying engineering technology/geomatics engineering or geospatial sciencesprogram comprises five knowledge bases including positioning and measurement analysis,remote sensing technology and imagery, GIS, property boundary law, and land development[25]. Programs with ABET accreditation credentials ensure that graduates have met theeducational requirements necessary to prepare for certification or licensure.Rarely, if ever, do traditional syllabi in highly technical fields develop soft skills such asempathy, justice, equity and other human-centric qualities [14, 19].

academicperformance set the students up for continued success. Failing calculus freshman year canjeopardize four-year graduation, but ELLC students earned higher first semester math gradesthan non-participants (mean grade of 2.75, vs. 2.46 for the combined Other LLCs and No LLCgroups, p = 0.047). A third explanation is self-selection bias beyond what this study’s input andenvironmental variables can control for. ELLC participants may have greater interest, self-efficacy, and/or other non-cognitive factors that affect persistence in an engineering or STEMmajor.Interestingly, engineering student participation in non-honors Other LLCs appears to havelowered graduation rates.

partnerships. Thus, it is necessary forinternational actors to understand what learners know and how they think prior to launching acollaborative education program. To achieve this, we designed and implemented a Recognitionof Prior Knowledge (RPK) assessment for girl learners in rural Zimbabwe and Senegal.Our assessment recognizes students' prior knowledge relevant to the engineering curriculum andexplores their self-beliefs. The assessment is used to better understand and challengeassumptions around the context, the language, and how students engage with technical projectsin each setting. In many sub-Saharan countries, girls are not encouraged to pursue technicaleducation. This negatively impacts their engineering beliefs, including motivation, self

require adopting a ‘neutral’ stance – a perhaps impossible standard – but rather an open-minded one that encourages all students to develop critical thinking skills and self-efficacy. In his words: David: I always feel constrained to – not so much to be neutral, but to be studiously open to different points of view, ... teach tools, in this case like a mode of thinking ... – or maybe it’s not even a mode, just ... instilling in the students the confidence that they can think about these things on their own. David later explains that to him, being open means “not so much neutral as accepting, listening – so to speak – and curious.” David’s experience shows that politicization in the classroom

During her studies, she became passionate about issues of equity, access, and inclusion in engineering and computing and worked to develop programs and activities that supported diverse students in these disciplines. Today, Dr. Waisome is an incoming Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering Education where she conducts research on broadening participation in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and computing (STEM+C). She is particularly interested in understanding how formalized mentoring programs impact student trajectories and self-efficacy. In her teaching, she utilizes the learner-centered approach to instruction.Lilianny Virguez (Lecturer

2017 to 2018,more than 200 children in Buenos Aires were found with high levels of lead from the burning ofe-waste –mostly cables– close to houses and playgrounds [54]. Some researchers argue that theseworkers lack sufficient information to perceive these risks and do not take proper measures toreduce risks and harms [55]– [57].Within this context, Sofia is evaluating the working conditions of e-waste recyclers in a selectedlocation of the province of Buenos Aires (Argentina), studying interventions to reduce chemicalexposures, and will promote awareness-raising within the community.

authorsidentify four main areas that contribute to the sense of belonging among STEM students: Inter-est, Competence, Interpersonal Relationships, and Science Identity[9]. We categorized questionsfrom the original Metcalf [1] survey, which represent a student’s response to the four factorsidentified by Rainey et al. and examine our data along gender and race and ethnicity to identifyequity issues for our setting. There are other measures of belonging that have been used to measure student belong-ing. For example, “Exploring Factors that Influence Computer Science Introductory Course Stu-dents to Persist in the Major” is a 2009 work by Barker et al., which studies student persistence,and states that it comes most from student to student

And it is at this point that wepivot our line of questioning to further investigate these observations. As
