These findings offer some initial insight into the challenges faced by female minoritystudents in STEM fields in terms of degree completion and retention. This analysis marks thebeginning of a journey to understand their experiences, and plans are in progress for the nextphase of this study, which is scheduled for the fall 2023 semester. The next phase will focus onidentifying the barriers that these students face and will include activities aimed at improvingtheir confidence, preparedness and sense of belonging. Section 6.0

Initially planned to fit within the college’s BA footprint, a degree neededto provide some formal engineering training while still pursuing external interests such as varsitysports and musical ensembles. Many students come into college still exploring their interests, soa program with flexibility to discover engineering while in college would serve them better thanprograms at other institutions in the greater geographic area that provide specialized engineeringdegrees.Pilot ProgramThe engineering program started in the physics department, with a proposal for an EngineeringScience major

Thedata shows that most of the teaching assistants found the workshop content and activitiesrelevant to them as peer educators. Several teaching assistants shared inclusive leadershipstrategies that they planned to implement in the coming semester. The goal of this study is toinform plans for implementing solutions into training that address deficiencies

Its central premise isthat once the educational purposes (i.e., the learning outcomes) of a learning experience areconscientiously selected, the rest of the elements of the experience (i.e., the pedagogical activities, andcorresponding assessments) should be designed toward the achievement of those identified outcomes [5].Therefore, the three main stages of backward design are: (1) identifying desired results, (2) determiningacceptable evidence, and (3) planning learning experiences and instruction

The remote experiments, testing, and evaluations were done following a formal and methodic approach, instead of ad hoc practices. In general, this approach led to effective and efficient experiments, and also served as a model to think creatively and methodically for solving engineering problems and planning prototype development. Overall, the design and use of the test board proved instrumental in the successful remote delivery of our digital laboratory course such that all the previous in person course experiments were completed in the online course without any limitations and the course’s educational outcomes were

. However, in recent years, many of the manufacturing-related machines haveevolved to be non-hands-on. Consequently, more time is spend planning the process, for instancein CAD/CAM environments. The analysis of data is becoming more important in recent years aswell. Not just since the rise of Industry 4.0 is the number of sensors steadily increasing,generating an ever bigger amount of data. Along with this trend, the learning goals of laboratorycourses shift accordingly – from manual operation of machines towards process planning,observation and data analysis. This enables to use of so-called remote laboratories as part offlipped laboratory concepts, given their shifted focus of achievable learning outcomes [2], [6].Such remote laboratories are

While minor degrees are not novel, it was found that the programminghad to be linked to something of recognizable/tangible value to students. Through student and advisorinterviews, it was found that advising programs are automated to direct students toward “checking boxes”for a plan of study without consideration of the nuances of different types of learning opportunities. Themain goal of pursuing higher education for students is to essentially receive credentials that have value forfuture careers.

. Teamwork skills areshown at the very top as the most common attribute. However, it is a frequent observation byprofessors that students usually limit the teamwork strategy to an initial distribution of tasks(generally predetermined by the structure of the projects) and occasional meetings to assemblethe contributions in reports or presentations (“divide and conquer” strategy). Experiences withsenior students have proved that they rarely rely on effective planning, revisions, and updates ofa general plan. Team identity is taken for granted as defined exclusively by the expectation ofgetting a good grade. Techniques learned in the short first-year training, like the team contract,are hardly followed.
