survey invitation through their onlinenewsletter or social media channels). We also recruited with support from the Faculty of AppliedScience and Engineering’s alumni office at the University of Toronto, Engineering DeansCanada, Women in Science and Engineering (WISE), and National Society of Black Engineers(NSBE) Canada, as well as through our institute’s own social media. The survey remained openfor approximately one month. The only two participant inclusion criteria were: 1) respondentmust be an engineering degree graduate, and 2) respondent must have completed anundergraduate engineering degree prior to 2013, as we were interested in graduates with at least10 years of work experience with which to explore their career path trajectory. Given

bereavement within academia, particularly among graduate students and faculty,remains limited. Academics, especially women, already grapple with a myriad of demands, andgrief adds another layer of emotional, physical, and psychological challenges, disrupting work-life balance [11]. As grief in academia is multifaceted, there is a need for supportive andinclusive environments that acknowledge and address the diverse experiences of grief amongwomen in academia.Work-Life BalanceWork-life balance can be defined as the act of managing the responsibilities and roles that aperson assumes both in their workplace and personal life while being fully engaged in each roleand demonstrating an attitude of attentiveness and care [19], [20].

paper shows thatusing art as a medium, students can interact with manufacturing technologies in a creative andengaging way.2.1 Project-Based Learning Established in 1965, Problem-Based Learning (PBL) emerged from the collaborative effortsof five faculty members in the Health Sciences, with the visionary leadership of founding DeanJohn Evans at McMaster University [19]. This innovative pedagogical approach places studentsat the center of their learning experience, fostering problem-solving skills within the context ofsmall group dynamics under the guidance of a tutor [19]. In the PBL framework, the learning process is intricately student-driven, with the tutorassuming a facilitating role. This methodology is rooted in an educational

, conference attendance in the early years of undergraduate education may assist studentretention in computing majors.However, conference attendance requires additional pre-conference and during-conference supportby faculty members. [25] found that supplementing student attendance with a course designedspecifically to students attending the Grace Hopper Celebration for Women in Computing (GHC)or the CMD-IT/ACM Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing Conference(https://tapiaconference.cmd-it.org) was helpful for students and faculty alike. This courseprepared students for the experience, engaged students in diversity, equity, and inclusion relatedconversations, and empowered self-exploration among the students participating
