We also utilize descriptive data andconduct t-tests regarding training and mentoring outcomes to determine whether student mentorsmaster the knowledge and pedagogy, therefore, are confident to teach the 5th and 6th-grade kids.RecruitingOur mentors are mostly recruited from engineering and

The purpose of this work-in-progress (WIP)paper is to explore the experiences of dis/abled, queer, AFAB1 STEM graduate studentsnavigating a culture of productivity in their educational journey. This WIP paper offers a narrowpreview of the findings in a larger exploratory study. This paper begins to untangle some of theintricacies in a short narrative excerpt through a neoliberal-critical, ableism-critical, and queerlens. This paper offers an invitation to the STEM community to collectively reflect on andengage in conversation regarding our cultural norms and assumptions.IntroductionAcademia has been shaped by a culture of productivity.

reflect regularly to guide their own improvement. While focusing on one area ata time – be it asking ‘better’ questions, building rapport, identifying signs of a fixed mindset, orany other aspect of tutoring – tutors are able to incrementally improve – and share their progresswith their Elevate cohort.Finally, Elevate trains Tutor Fellows to try to “work themselves out of a job.” This is whatdifferentiates them from many other tutors. Often, tutors will answer questions directly. Theywill explain things as magic… out of thin air. Elevate attempts to minimize the distribution of“magic beans” because each time they are gifted, the student becomes more dependent on thetutor – which is the opposite of what should be sought. In reality, the student

However, such an approach mighthinder the development of essential skills associated with labs in engineering education.Among these skills, one might cite communication and collaboration, safety, designingexperiments, and learning from failure. Furthermore, a common critique regarding virtual labsrefers to the use of idealized data that usually does not reflect the uncertainties and nuances ofthe real world [10]. Also, these labs generally lack the sense of reality necessary to immersestudents in more authentic experiences.The use of virtual labs in

. According to the NationalResearch Council [3] and Savey [4], inquiry-based learning (IBL) is a pedagogical approach inwhich students begin with a question followed by investigating the solutions, reflecting, andcommunicating findings, and creating new knowledge based on the collected evidence. IBL hasbeen widely adopted in science education because of its great potential to facilitate more positivestudent attitudes and a deeper understanding of scientific concepts [5], [6]. Additionally, accordingto Specht et al [7], inquiry-based learning has been increasingly suggested as an efficient approachfor fostering students’ curiosity and motivation by linking science teaching in schools withinformal learning and phenomena in everyday life.

TheBEADLE curriculum is designed to prepare students for a junior-level course in computerengineering at a 4-year university, where digital logic is typically taken during the first twoyears. To evaluate the curriculum, we offered it to a sophomore class on digital logic design at a4-year public university and collected pre- and post-assignment surveys to gauge understandingof the material.

Following theirNUWC visit, teachers participate in ongoing professional learning workshops (i.e., fall andspring) where they learn to use the 7E model of STEM instruction (Eisenkraft, 2003) to guidetheir lesson planning and implementation and reflect on their lesson development with theirpeers. Aligned with our framework, engineering design-based instruction is at the core of thismodel.

Metrics for the engineering sustainability designation as a whole, such as participationand placement, indicated some positive results (for example, see above) but assessments of thelearning outcomes for the introductory seminar class (see Table 2 below for learning outcomesand current assessment plan) also indicated some areas where we fell short of learning targets inthe initial years of the designation. For instance, students’ ability to describe sustainability wasrather anemic.For example, D.T. (2018) wrote in a final reflection paper (see
