Additionally, to gain a fuller understanding ofthe post-secondary transition as well as the skills and supports necessary to help students withdisabilities succeed in higher education, included items covered the following: 1. Broad exploration of students with disabilities setting and achieving post-secondary goals and ambitions, such as careers and higher education. 2. Examinations of adult skill development as students in higher education often must live independently and develop

The students will be divided into two groups: Group A will have access toe-REF as a continuous resource throughout the semester, while Group B will receive similar instructionbut rely solely on materials provided through the learning management system. The surveys will assessthe students' knowledge of engineering documentation, literature review techniques, data management,and programming tools, as well as their interest in applying these skills to their career development.Ultimately, e-REF aims to provide students and engineering populations at large, with

the large number of international students enrolled in UAB School ofEngineering as graduate students. As of Fall 2023, students from non-U.S. countries made up19.0% of the graduate student population, 7.9% of whom are enrolled in the UAB School ofEngineering [6]. Venkatesh et al. establishes four pillars for building community in the graduateclassroom: “enabling meaningful interpersonal connection, facilitating participation to primelearning, sharing insight into scientific careers, and validating student competence and potential.”Their study found that building a graduate course with these pillars in mind dramaticallyincreased students’ comfort in interacting with course faculty, successfully mitigated impostersyndrome, and helped the

and Magerko’s[10] seminal paper, they identified 17 core competencies users need to interact with and developAI. Their research is based on a review of academic articles, books, conference papers and greyliterature. These competencies focus on how AI works, how to identify and recognize AI,knowing it’s strengths and weakness, how to use it effectively, in-depth data literacy skills,creating and developing AI, and lastly the ethics of using AI and potential global impact.In a more current literature review, Chee et al[17], identified 8 AI competencies categories: AIdevice and software, data and algorithmic literacy, problem solving, communication andcollaboration, AI ethics, career-related competencies, AI content creation, and

“socialaspect of learning” in librarianship and as librarians advance in their careers they become moreinvolved in communities beyond their institution and will readily connect with colleaguesoutside of their institution, informally building a community. “[T]hese communities can be veryvaluable sources of learning” [2]. This shared expertise, according to Belzowski, Ladwig &Miller [5] and Spicer [7], encourages collaboration amongst the group members and allows forreflection on their practice that can spur on new ideas and deepen subject expertise. This is whatBelzowski et al. [5] mean when they suggest that a CoP develops and sustains a “professionalidentity.”There is no template for CoPs. Each CoP should determine their own goals and objectives

In her prioreducation she had attended an all-girls secondary school, followed by a mixed-gender FurtherEducation college, where she was one of only a handful of girls in her maths and physicsclasses. She found this experience “completely different” and “weird,” having been used toall-female environments. During her time at the Further Education college she had attended aday of talks and workshops for women in STEM, aimed at encouraging girls aged 16-19 topursue careers in STEM fields. She found this made STEM careers feel more “relatable” toher. At university, she has no

in collaboration,topic areas, citation trends, and research outputs over time. Visualization tools can helpcommunicate these findings, and metrics such as Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI),citation counts, and scholarly output may be used to highlight areas of strength. However, theseindicators should always be interpreted within context and with an understanding of theirlimitations. Metrics can be influenced by disciplinary norms, career stage, publication language,and database coverage, among other factors. When benchmarking is requested (tracking strategicresearch areas, Destination Areas in this case), we take care to frame results appropriately and,where possible, supplement quantitative data with qualitative insights.Ultimately

After further analysis of the data from the categories, themesemerged and were reviewed from an ISP lens, and findings are presented below.When all transcripts had been coded, researchers came together and organized allwords into common themes using visual tools and shared Microsoft documents.
