Addressingthis gap is essential to tailoring interventions and policies that reflect the unique needs andstrengths of this demographic.The findings of this work have implications that extend beyond academic inquiry. Insights gainedfrom this research can inform institutional policies at HBCUs by highlighting the importance ofmentorship, community support, and targeted interventions to enhance retention and successamong women in engineering. These findings could bring about broader diversity and inclusionefforts within engineering education, contributing to a more innovative and

Results are spread across most ASEE divisions, reflecting the intense interestengineering educators have in using modern AI-based tools in the classroom. Proposed uses ofAI are too many to enumerate here, but broad topics include techniques for teaching studentshow to use AI, recommendations to instructors on using AI tools to assist with curriculumdevelopment and assessment, the ethics of AI use in the classroom, and advances in AI forsolving engineering problems.Given the focus on these emerging tools by educators and students alike, it is imprudent toignore their use in any field of

The course beginswith three lessons devoted to establishing the foundational concepts and themes described earlier.Following this introduction, the course transitions into a series of modules, each consisting of acase study followed by several lessons involving experiential learning activities conducted both inand out of the classroom. As noted previously, each module reinforces the course’s core concepts,themes, and desired outcomes. One advantage of this modular approach is its flexibility;individual modules can be easily updated or replaced to reflect changes

One of the student researchers on Team W reflected, I was very uncomfortable from the get-go because… I’m around like rockstar talent super stars and you have a little bit of that imposter syndrome when you’re just doubting your own ability and what you have to add to the conversation….
