program was conducted with a larger group of students inthe summer of 2022. Thus far, our results indicate that this program will be beneficial to studentswell after regular programming resumes at full capacity. GREaT GradS was designed to servegroups of graduate students who are typically marginalized within science with an eye towardretention through support and mentorship. The overall goals were to provide (1) ResourceRecognition by introducing students to the various academic and personal resources available oncampus, (2) Personal Preparation through programming on subjects such as personal finance andmental health, (3) Career Preparation through writing workshops and curriculum vitae editing,and (4) Network Building by connecting students

model, combined withscholarship support, has been shown to have the potential to overcome the challenges of limitedconnection to peers and institutions that transfer students often encounter [2].The APEX program also includes a focus on providing formal and informal opportunities fortransfer students to engage with faculty and other students. Mentoring is a proven practice forsupporting low-income STEM students’ retention and has especially been shown to benefitcommunity college transfer students [3]. Comprehensive mentoring has been shown to helpstudents navigate the curriculum, the co-curriculum, and the “hidden curriculum” – the“unwritten, often unspoken norms, values, expectations, behaviors, codes of conduct” that are“not transparent or

Specifically,the goal of our study is to observe and document how graduate students, and otherlab members, learn from one another within the cultural space of the laboratory,and what aspects of laboratory culture facilitate and what impede learning. To thatend, we use cognitive ethnography, an ethnographic approach combined withcognitive science to study cognitive processes through participant-observation oftwo engineering research laboratories. We identified the following themespertaining to learning experiences: scaffolding (structured activities orapprenticeship), peer-to-peer learning, self-directed and self-regulated

Our team received an NSF grant in the Fall of 2018 tobroaden participation in engineering by recruiting and retaining students who have beenhistorically marginalized in engineering. We focused our research on first-year students whoparticipated in pathway programs which provided peer and formal mentoring, success coaching,shared classes, and social activities, that would provide a sense of community and sharedengineering identity for participants

In-person learning has many benefits:improved learning outcomes, equity in learning, personalized attention, and easier access toresources. One of the largest benefits of in-person learning is the opportunity of socialinteraction.

We expect that actions in these domains will result in three concrete forms of impact: (1) empowered engineering student organizations, which will make engineering education more inclusive at the level of peer-to-peer interactions; (2) actionable organizational policies and effective practices

This habit may have been created by the tools given to them, the smart phones and handheld devices. Given these text-only tools, students are less likely to choose a table or a graph, which can tell a better story. When graphics are done, they tend not to be professional in nature; rather they are the simple images with limited quality (e.g. like poorly take pictures that are fuzzy or shadows and backgrounds showed on non-scanned images). • Student reports need detailed peer review for grammar and structure.
