. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Influences on Displaced Engineering Student Professional Identity Development: A Scoping Literature Review Across Forced Migration ContextsIntroductionDisplaced students, forcibly uprooted because of major traumas like civil unrest, poverty, andrelated disasters, are unafforded opportunities to pursue engineering at alarming rates [1][2]. Forexample, as of 2022 only 5% of refugee students attended college compared to a 41% globalaverage. Additionally, despite increasing displacement rates from climate change and unrest,fragile contexts’ demands for engineering, and the known challenges of identity development inmigration, disparities in engineering are

The Graduate RecordExamination (GRE), administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), is a widely usedstandardized test and is often required or requested for admission into graduate-level programs inthe United States.The research questions addressed in this study are: 1. How do faculty members perceive the importance of the GRE for admission to MS Thesis and Doctoral programs? 2. How do faculty members' perceptions of the GRE differ across faculty groups (Tenure, discipline, race, ethnicity, gender)?The GRE aims to measure an individual's verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analyticalwriting abilities and comprises three sections offered in computer-based centers all year round

Learning in Community Colleges and Four-Year UniversitiesIntroduction Community colleges serve an important role in the development of students in science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. Most community colleges are open-accessinstitutions, with students coming from all different walks of life to enroll in these schools [1].These include students directly out of high-school, or those that are returning to school for asecond career. When looking that the demographics of community colleges, we find that theyserve a disproportionate number of students who are marginalized [2]. These institutions oftenare a gateway to transferring into a four-year school where a student can continue their educationand receive a bachelor’s
