work? 2) Over the course of their early college experiences with mathematics, science, and engineering, how do students’ global affect about mathematics, science, and engineering change? 3) How do students’ local and global affect about mathematics, science, and engineering contribute to/interact with their identities, including engineering identity?While affect has been widely studied using qualitative methods, our parallel use of qualitativeinterviews and piloting of quantitative survey instruments will contribute to the development ofquantitative measures of affect that can be employed by others in STEM education. For thepurposes of this short grant summary, we will be focusing on the second research question

interventions were developed: (i)the use of international engineering case studies ina quantitative analysis course,(ii) the intentional formation of multinational student design teamswithin a capstone design course, (iii) a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL)research project in a transport phenomena course, and (iv) an engineering course coupled to acommunity-engaged project. The research aims to address the following questions: 1. To what extent can global competence be developed in engineering students through the use of the proposed global engagement interventions? 2. What are the relative strengths of each of the proposed global engagement interventions in developing global engineering competence?For this project, the

climate survey included the climate scale with 50 items for 9 constructs anddemographic items to capture the respondents’ complex social identities. During summer and fall2023, we collected our first pilot study data of 287 doctoral engineering students from 28institutions in the U.S. The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with the data from 287 engineeringdoctoral students revealed the latent factor structure of the climate scale for eight constructsindicated by 39 items. Internal consistency was good. Based on the EFA results, we planned torevise the items and add new items for the second round of data collection for the second pilotstudy in Year 2. Results from studies using the finalized survey are expected to guide specific policies

Her research focuses on how identity, among other affective factors, influences diverse students to choose engineering and persist in engineering. She also studies how different experiences within the practice and culture of engineering foster or hinder belonging and identity development. Dr. Godwin graduated from Clemson University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering and Science Education. Her research earned her a 2016 National Science

This study reports on work done as part of a larger study that follows thepaths of first-year students at two academic institutions, tracking their participation andperceptions of makerspaces over four years. Quantitative data were collected from two onlinesurveys that were distributed at the beginning of the Fall 2022 semester and the end of theWinter/Spring 2023 semester. Each survey took approximately 10 minutes to complete andconsisted of a series of Likert-type and single-selection questions about theirattitudes/motivations toward makerspaces and psychosocial assessments of their
