), and all five sections were revised in year two (2022).Each section is taught by a different engineering instructor. This study is not intended to comparestudents across different sections. Instead, through this qualitative thematic analysis, we attend tothe different ways students take up and respond to social, political, and economic dimensionsthat have to do with environmental justice and environmental racism.Curricular Revision on Environmental RacismFor the week on environmental racism, students were tasked with reading two articles. One fromthe Atlantic and one from Vox. The Atlantic article is titled “A New EPA Report Shows thatEnvironmental Racism is Real” (Newkirk II, 2018), and the Vox article is titled “There’s a clearfix to helping

was a two-phased event, starting with an online, capture-the-flagcompetition with the top 20 students attending the in-person portion. Students came from eightuniversities and community colleges from across the state.A significant percentage of cybersecurity jobs require security clearances. This requirement isespecially pronounced in the mid-Atlantic region: a recent survey shows that in the GreaterWashington DC area 9% of job postings require clearance [19]. Many of our industry andgovernment partners list as one of their top workforce priorities to recruit clearable, qualifiedcandidates. While we cannot directly sponsor, nor provide a student’s clearance, we can ensurethat students are informed about what a security clearance is, what the

Relationships are within the context of the exchange dynamics created by participant interactions and engagements with others in the program. • Explore: An implemented program for faculty at career transitions operationalized from within an engineering department at a Mid-Atlantic comprehensive university is explored to demonstrate the limitations, extensions, and results of the program at its midpoint.2 BackgroundMentorship is grounded in the connection and relationship between individuals [1], providingindividuals

from a large R1 university in the Mid-Atlantic Region. At the time of the data collection in Spring 2021, participants were enrolled ineither one of two types of engineering introductory courses: Engineering 1 & Engineering 2.Engineering 1 is for students who were delayed in beginning their engineering coursework (off-track students). Engineering 2 is for students who entered as first-year students with theprerequisites to begin taking engineering coursework (on-track students) immediately. The totalsample size is 280 engineering students (n =152 on-track, n= 128 off-track) who are clusteredwithin 25 sections of Engineering 1 or 2 (n=12 on-track, n=13 off-track) with approximately74% of students self-identifying as biological males (Table

transparentinstitutional action to enhance diversity and promote inclusive and equitable learningenvironments” [2, p.3]. Despite this growing attention and acknowledgment of the need toimprove graduate education in engineering, cultures and practices in these spaces are seldomcharacterized as welcoming. In response to the above calls, this study explores the engineering graduate student’sexperience, focusing on their perceived stressors or challenges, while considering the student’sdegree and citizenship status. This study is situated in a three-year effort to develop andimplement a mandatory graduate seminar course focused on promoting equity in STEM at anR1, research-intensive university in the Mid-Atlantic U.S. The following sections will

Towards the exploration of thecomplex definition and validation of this model, seven targeted interviews were conducted withstudents enrolled in a non-disciplinary engineering program at a mid-Atlantic, primarilyundergraduate, comprehensive, public university.

The questions asked duringthese focus groups covered topics such as: established identity in CS with themselves and others,personal experiences and challenges as a black woman in CS that are gender and/or race related,psycho-social characteristics experienced (e.g. imposter syndrome and confidence), and personalfeedback/recommendations for promoting equity, inclusion, and representation of black womenin CS. Key results revealed that the majority of these women exhibited an identity with CS. Yet,the majority of them also noted a lack of confidence and exhibiting imposter syndrome as part oftheir CS experiences

multidisciplinarity of a team drives communication andargumentation decisions. This study investigated how team multidisciplinary (denoted“disciplinary diversity” of the design team) affects the communication strategies employed bysenior-level engineering design students at a large, public university.MethodsContext and Data Collection. This study was conducted on transcripts of student presentationsgiven for the Fall 2019 Senior Design Showcase at a large R1 university in the Mid-Atlantic UnitedStates. The Senior Design Showcase projects were scoped to solve real-world engineeringproblems experienced by industry sponsors. One of the core components of the Senior Designcurriculum is that teams are multidisciplinary (i.e., the teams include students from

After presenting the details of each case weshare our reflections on each of them as instructors. Our reflections explore what went well witheach activity, what challenges it had, and what we might change for future implementations.Study ContextThe three cases reported here all happened in a year-long senior capstone course for a multipledisciplinary engineering degree at a Mid Atlantic University with a large engineering
