dormitory and for thefirst four weeks of the summer students were required to take their meals “to-go” in the diningcommons. Beginning in July the mask mandates and in-person dining restrictions were lifted.In this assessment report, SOAR’s history as a diversity-focused cohort program and COVID-19both contributed to the context which shaped the data collection. Consequently, the findings andresults are also situated in this context.3. MethodsThroughout the course of the internship program, assessment was conducted through quantitativeand qualitative measures. The data collection methods were guided by ethnographic case studymethodology. Informed by ethnographic data collection approaches, the qualitative datacollection methods included interviews

]. Learning mathematics andscience in engaging contexts, as in this project, through inquiry-based modeling and simulationof their individual and family’s health biometrics, supported by familial collaboration, has thepotential to reduce students’ math anxiety and impact their self-efficacy toward STEM careers. The underlying motivation for this project is to boost the decision-making processes thatinfluence middle school Hispanic students’ confidence in pursuing technology rich STEM careerchoices through positive interaction with user-friendly math and sciences technologies andassociated data collection, analysis, and modeling. Equity and inclusivity in education requiresincreasing diverse minority students’ access to technology rich educational

Progress: Fellowship Year 2 The GC WSC Fellowship Program is currently in its second year with a new cohort ofstudents. The organizers aimed to create a more formalized method to evaluate the program’simpact on student participants. A survey was created to measure students’ research identity andself-efficacy pre- and post- program involvement. (Appendix I) This assessment tool wasdeveloped from the University’s Expanding Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences(ECURE) Impact Assessment and adapted to fit the needs of this program. [21] Questions aim toexplore 1) participants’ previous research and research communication experiences, 2) theiridentity as a researcher, 3) their research self-efficacy, 4) their perception of water

incourses related to the AIMS certificate programs. Project-based activities such as AIMS-relatedworkshops offered by the university will be assessed to measure learning outcomes associatedwith engineering self-efficacy, judgment, and leadership skills.Engineering self-efficacy (ESE) is an individual’s belief in their capability to act in the waysnecessary to reach specific goals. Judgment about one’s abilities can influence behavior and goalattainment. We hypothesize that the groups’ self-guidance during the hackathon will improvetheir ESE related to applying AIMS concepts. Next, engineering judgment (EJ) is an individual’sability to make and justify decisions and predict the resulting consequences. EJ is developed inparallel with engineering

, professionaland honor societies, scientific research [3], or identity-based organizations [8].In engineering education literature, experiential education has also been studied for its potentialto support professional formation via engineering identity development [9]. Engineering identity,a concept that describes how students understand themselves as engineers, has been argued to bea significant indicator of educational and professional persistence [10], [11]. Literature hasconnected a stronger engineering identity with higher retention rates, improved climateperceptions, and better experiences for underrepresented groups in engineering [12]. Scholarshave studied how engineering identity connects with self-efficacy, or individuals’ beliefs abouttheir own

utilization and application of their STEM knowledge. Networking with their peers - bothwithin their program and the national network - amplifies the experience and has the potential tocontribute to future career development. Participants, in the work itself, are given the opportunityto take ownership in the development of curriculum development and classroom management,building potential for self-efficacy development. Finally, the three interconnected strands holdmany connections to the Actua Future Skills Framework; “delivering results” requiresintellectual development, “working with others” draws from networking skills and institutionalknowledge; and future readiness draws from the three strands and makes connections to theparticipant’s future
