Goal setting and relationshipbuilding are key components of the academic coaching philosophy which aligns with many ofthe common elements seen across the literature that was used to create the Scholars Program.Academic coaching also has similarities with the practice of Reality Therapy [4] which was usedas the framework for the personnel responsibility pillar in the model developed by Kamphoff andcolleagues [2]. Reality Therapy is an ongoing process of creating a trusting environment andusing techniques to help an individual discover and reflect on their true goals. In addition to thegoal of building on social capital, there are positive academic

Moving towards racial equity in engineering education requires afundamental shift in thinking in two important ways: 1) we must reframe how we think aboutunderserved populations from minority to minoritized by a dominant discourse, and 2) to beginto dismantle the impacts of Whiteness, we must first make this barrier visible.In the first year of this project, the diverse team of PIs began to explore scripts of Whiteness inengineering education by conducting a

Toassess the perceived impact on learning and perceived difficulty we will be asking the students tocomplete a simple survey (See Appendix D.) To assess a delta in comprehension of diversity,equity, inclusion, and social justice, we will be giving the same pre- and post-assessment askingstudents to define each of the above. (See Appendix E.) After the hands-on activity students willalso reflect on how they think the activity is related to diversity, equity and inclusion.

computing is the reality of the computing education “culture” in the U.S.being primarily one-note (e.g., white-men)—including faculty, students, and professionals—which instigates perpetual curricular and non-curricular hurdles for members of non-majoritygroups to overcome. To attain their fit within computing, students must navigate the computerscience culture by adopting norms and values that are reflective of the majority-group [22]. Notbeing able to adopt these norms and values impacts students’ fit within computing contexts and,ultimately, their retention.Culture is a compelling explanation for underrepresentation in computer science.

According to Yardi [16], appropriately formatted andscoped content can enhance conceptual understanding, problem-solving skills, and reflective learningamong other benefits. Other research indicates that both faculty and students are more satisfied with coursesthat adopt this approach, leading to higher course success rates and increased enrollment [20].

Oral exams were generally described as moreacutely stressful compared with written exams. Preparing for the exam led to conflicts withresearch progress or course deadlines, while the risk of consequences of failure (such as beingremoved from the program) led to stress due to the high stakes nature of the exams. A fewparticipants failed initial attempts at their qualifying exams and described very high stress interms of repeating preparations for the exam
