This is particularly important for first generation or lowerincome students who may be depending on timely payments to cover living expenses. Our granthad also budgeted funds for on-campus housing at OU, as well as a meal allowance for allstudent participants. Since the students were working remotely, we converted those payments todirect payments to the students to help cover some of their housing and living expenses.Additional logistical issues included creating OU computer accounts and providing VPN accessahead of time for each student participant so they could
differences in major selection.However, Morgan, Gelbgiser, and Weeden’s (2013) research identified the occupationalplans of high school seniors as strong predictors of initial college major selection. Theauthors also found the association between occupational plans and college majorselection is not attributable to work–family orientation or academic preparation. Theresearch pointed to the importance of occupational plans formed in adolescence forunderstanding the gender differences in college major and for policies intended to createa workforce that is representative and rewarding for both genders in all areas of STEM.Design of the studyTo design the research survey, four previous studies and associated surveys wereconsulted: Kuechler & Simkin
five times. Rotation consumes somewhat less energy than linear motion because theformer requires a light load on each of four wheel motors but the latter draws much larger powerlevels on only two motors at a time. The engineer team realized that success would breed greaterrequirements. They therefore used a test case of maximum forward acceleration for 20 yards,then immediate maximum reverse acceleration for 20 yards, returning to the start point. Thiswas repeated for 15 minutes without pause. Though this is more than is possible while band isperforming, it serves as a realizable worst case for this year's planned marching bandcoreography. The batteries were then selected and configured to meet this challenge.The system passed this power and

Studentsgenerally felt that understanding the concept of limit was important, as shown in their responsesto question 1. They also felt that learning the topic using visual examples (question 2), hands-onactivities (question 3), and in-class exercises (questions 4 and 5) was important, while thegeneral opinions on learning through methods such as traditional presentations (question 7) andreading the relevant textbook material (question 8) were more mixed.

need forindividuals with STEM degrees has led to large growth in STEM undergraduate studentnumbers. Post-recession STEM degrees awarded have increased by 43% from 2010 to 2019 [2].This need for STEM degrees is reflected in the strategic plan for the College of Engineering atthe University of Kentucky with a goal of adding nearly 43% more students to the Collegebetween 2019 and 2025. The success of transfer students through thoughtful and intentionaltransfer pathways is one way to diversify reach and obtain enrollment targets of the Universityand meet STEM occupational demand.The growth and need for STEM majors are well documented. This growth has not necessarilybeen experienced by underrepresented groups in STEM majors. Despite an increase in

During the CUDenver visit, there were presentations from CU Denver students, which allowed the IUPUI andUofM research teams to meet CU Denver students and become more familiar with the specificsof the CU Denver program. There were plans for IUPUI to host an in-person research team visitin 2021, but those plans have been postponed due to the pandemic.Although in person visits had to cease due to COVID-19, there have been several synchronousvirtual sessions, spanning all three

We interviewed professionals inthe industry and the university to obtain their perceptions of activities or initiatives that willincrease the percentages of women in mining fields. The study consisted of semi-structuredinterviews with professionals to learn how they entered their professions and what can be done toincrease the participation of women in the mining industry. The interviewees were primarily 1)mining industry professionals, 2) academic program managers, and 3) part-time academicians andindustry workers. The study results yielded initiatives and actions to be implemented by theindustry, academia, and joint efforts. The action plans will promote the integration of women intothe

Moreover, a PhD pathways panel and several professional development seminars on Graduate School and the research process were successfully organized to motivate students to pursue a research career.

People’s identity shapes the experiences theyembrace, and reciprocally, those experiences shape their identities [9] - [11]. People behaveconsistently with their identities [12], [13], choosing behaviors with meanings that match theirself-conceptions [14], [15]. When people identify with an esteemed group, they feel better aboutthemselves and, in turn, feel better about the group [16], [17]. If people strongly identify with agroup, they are steadfast, defending the group, staying in the group, and supporting the group[18

The intent was to spark the students’curiosity about our modern sources of energy, to encourage them to make connections betweentheory and a realistic application, and for them to create value for a meaningful customer byrequiring them to argue in favor of one energy plan, considering stakeholders, costs, andenvironmental effects.
