A discussion of how the materials are developed isprovided later in the paper.The first section contains learning modules. Each module will contain materials that theambassadors can utilize. We will also include lesson plans that provide activities and otherinformation that ambassadors can use to help present the materials. This section of the website isunder construction.

Otherstudents described their career plans for a future job in industry with varying degrees ofspecificity. For instance, one male Asian mechanical engineering student already developed avery specific job goal stating that “I see my future as a mechanical engineer working for Toyota,designing and building an engine with more than 50% efficiency.”, whereas another maleHispanic chemical

environment in which engineers andproduct designers must collaborate to develop design projects.The structure of this paper is as follows. First, we describe related literature on the topic ofmultidisciplinary collaborations in engineering design. Then, we describe the structure of the twoiterations of our course, and the methodology we used to compare the outcomes of the twoiterations. We then present the results, discuss them, and provide our conclusions and plans forfuture work.Related WorkMany studies have demonstrated advantages to multidisciplinary design courses [2], [3], [4], [5].Factors that have been found to correlate with perceived team effectiveness and enjoyment inmultidisciplinary projects include clear roles, a match between student

We end the paper with our future plan.Theoretical Framework and Background LiteratureAs communities of practice, college learning communities facilitate the development ofcollaborative and academic support relationships through ongoing peer interaction [5]. Sense ofcommunity is the feeling that one is part of a larger, dependable, stable structure [16]. It iscomprised of the following sub-factors: membership, influence, needs fulfillment, and emotionalconnection [11], [12], [14].The authors of [17] presented a linked-course learning community in computer science majorsfor men of color and women (of any ethnicity) with “a variety of activities planned to facilitatethe forming of an academic support group.” They reported that “learning

The focus group and interview protocol was designed in a semi-structuredformat, with items developed to better understand the impact of the GaDOE STEM and STEAMcertification processes. Specifically, items included in the protocol center on schooladministrators’ decision to pursue (or intent to pursue) STEM or STEAM certification, as well aswhich certification process their school has or is planning to obtain. Administrators were alsoasked to describe any perceived benefits and costs of acquiring STEM or STEAM certificationand potential impacts
from these stakeholdershelped us ensure the content was understandable at many levels, pedagogically sound, and trulyreflected the information needs of the workplace.To keep within the spirit of micro-learning, our goal was to keep each video within a three-to-five-minute time limit. This involved careful consideration of each line in our scripts in order tobe clear and concise. Once the scripts were drafted and reviewed, we practiced and timed them tomake sure they fit in our time limits and made additional cuts when necessary. Once the scriptswere finalized, we moved on to recording. Our initial plans were to record these in professionalvideo production studios on campus, however a computer hack in the summer of 2022 madethese studios

Understanding the nuancedexperiences of grief among women in academia, especially those in STEM, is crucial fordeveloping tailored support systems and a more inclusive and supportive academic environment.Coping StrategiesCoping is defined as the cognitive and behavioral ways that an individual responds tochallenging circumstances [68]. Everyone copes differently with grief due to differences andvaried life experiences, and there are evidently many ways that individuals can respond to grief,as reflected in the BRIEF COPE questionnaire, a 28-item survey that contains 14 sub-scales tocapture various coping strategies[69]. These are: active coping, planning, positive reframing,acceptance

First, Grade 4 teachers were invited to the university’s campus for a day-long professional development workshop centered around the NGSS engineering learning outcomes and their intersection with designing wind turbines. The second tier of the intervention was to provide demonstration lessons in the Grade 4 classrooms that were planned and taught by interdisciplinary teams of engineering and education majors. he engineering and education faculty members developed a five-lesson arc of topics adapted toTthe appropriate grade level from KidWind’s WindWise Education curriculum[9]for the undergraduate participants to follow when designing and implementing their hour-long lessons.

And then one of our staff members puts their spin on it”with their expertise. Charlotte used the snake jaw robot in one pop-up program between thetraining session and her interview. She said people saw the snake jaw robot and were curiousabout what it was, so that drew them over. Overall, she felt using the snake jaw robot in the pop-up went well.Several staff members mentioned using the snake jaw robot to complement presentations withtheir live snakes.

engaged with course content.IntroductionAssessment is a cornerstone of the educational process, deriving from defined learning objectivesthat outline how students should engage with course material. The importance of assessment tolearning is underscored by the recognition that it serves as a guiding force for both educators andstudents. The clear definition of learning objectives, as discussed in the literature [1-2], aidsinstructors in selecting appropriate course content, planning lectures, designing assignments, andwriting tests. The relevance of assessment to engineering education is further highlighted by therole of accreditation, particularly through the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET). ABET, as detailed in the

mentorship best practices, and topics related toinclusive mentoring. After this training, mentor/mentee introductions were made via email. Forthis program, mentors are asked to meet with their mentee at least once a week for one hour. Thiswas deliberately left open ended so that mentor/mentee pairs could decide what activities anddiscussions would be the most productive for them. We encouraged them to pair up with othermentors/mentee pairs for activities and spent time in the initial mentorship training brainstormingpotential activities with mentors. Although we initially planned to provide mentors with some levelof compensation for their time, this ended up being very difficult to do with the existing grantrequirements (see limitations sections for
