while alsomaking enough time to study for this class.The ApproachAn immediate recognition of my own situation from a few years prior came back to me. Iremembered how I felt in the office of my former advisor, and I remember what I wished wouldhave happened when I was under similar circumstances. I could have just nodded sagely, a lookof disappointment but understanding in my eye, and wished the student well in their academicendeavors, saying it was for the best. But I did not. Instead, I asked the student how they plannedon meeting their goals. What was their study plan? How did they study for exams or classregularly? How do they know how much time to put aside for studying? What I learned was thatthis student did not have a clear plan to meet

A unique aspect of the GrOW program was that itwas led by (senior) graduate students (authors), who first-hand understood the needs of first-yeargraduate students, which yielded relatable and useful events. Therefore, the authors also suggestthat there be some involvement of students (for example, from registered graduate studentorganizations) in the planning and execution of such programs in the future.SummaryA year-long orientation program for gender minorities in the first year of graduate engineering atUIUC was developed and consisted of 7 events spread throughout the academic year. Thisprogram had three themes of

Thus, we added three keys to characterizethe nature of significant interactions during the group meeting: discussions (D), interactions (I),and team roles (R). These keys accompany timestamps within the template. Discussions worth not-ing with the key D should focus on using research approaches, planning, or applying knowledge.If a decision was made as a result of a discussion, we also wanted to note who drove the decision,which team members were involved, and what role they played. We also wanted to note interac-tions between team members which added to our understanding of their relationships and how theytreat/work with other members. We also

This is something I really do care about on my own time, so being able to advocate for it with others has been beneficial for me. There are days I struggle to find time even to eat dinner let alone take a minute for myself, but since joining I have seen improvements in my work after taking a break.”We recognize the importance of measuring the impact of student-led interventions for improvingstudent wellbeing, and also the challenge of making meaningful measurements.

and Information Access. These themes fitexisting theories about transfer student success, such as Laanan’s Transfer Student CapitalTheory (Laanan et al., 2010). When students are provided with the skills and tools they need,they thrive in engineering programs and transfer at higher rates. I did not find many paperswhich focused specifically on working or caretaking students, but several papers consideredthese groups. Planning for the success of these students involves some special considerations,which I discuss below. For many engineering transfer students, forming a strong community at school can bechallenging due to external commitments. Formal mentorship programs can help these studentsform a strong engineering identity while

Before launching the program in Fall 2022, the CoP facilitators and supervisors engagedin comprehensive planning sessions to determine the most critical tools and skills to be taughtduring the community sessions, as well as opportunities to practice these skills. They alsodeveloped facilitator rubrics to evaluate the community members' competencies. These rubrics,given in Appendix A, organized the hard and soft skills of each tool area associated with each ofthe aforementioned outcome goals into 5-point Likert scales. Following the

Oftentimes, students get bogged down in the detailsof each week and forget to think about the experience of a course as a whole. Discussing the topicsand varying steps covered throughout the course can help the students visualize their progress.Even though the student did not set these steps up themselves, it helps them to see it in retrospectand can encourage this as a valuable practice to continue, even if future courses do not require it.ConclusionThis paper

The questionnaire can be found in theAppendix.

In addition, faculty shouldutilize active learning pedagogy that has shown evidence to increase student engagement duringcourse learning.References[1] R. M. Gonyea, K. A. Kish, G. D. Kuh, R. N.

In eachassignment, raw data was provided to students for analysis and establishment of an empiricalmodel, in which equation parameters were extracted and projected product lifetime wasdetermined. Though, in accordance with the planned learning outcomes, the individual projectsproved to be effective in acquiring the technical knowledge outside the majored disciplines [2],they did not encourage partnership across disciplines. Also, students were only asked to analyzethe reliability of a device from the experimental data collected under specific conditions

Understanding Problem Solving using Multiple Solution Methods Hao Li (WL11@mit.edu) and A. E. Hosoi (peko@mit.edu) Department of Mechanical Engineering Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyBackgroundOne of the key challenges of Engineering Education is developing students’ ability to navigateand solve moderately- or ill-structured problems with multiple solution paths. Existingtheoretical and conceptual frameworks can provide a basis for understanding this challenge. Theframework of self-regulated learning can be applied to problem solving. In self-regulatedlearning, the problem solver (or learner) first plans, sets goals, and lays out strategies

Because this student cried during thisconversation, she had to be empathic and sensitive while offering advice about changing theiracademic outcome. Both authors also recalled the challenge of effectively communicating valuablelearning objectives to the students through conversations and the types of assessments andstructure of the classroom (2AA, 2DM).Flexibility: This sub-theme describes the instructor’s willingness to deviate from set plans andadapt in real-time to unexpected situations
