-Centered Designclass has been very rewarding for Dalrymple, especially after overcoming the initial discomfortin critiquing Whiteness as a Black immigrant. She especially enjoys having her experienceworking with communities valued in an engineering context.S. M. Lord is a White woman with over two decades of teaching experience. Her interest insocial justice stems from experiences of marginalization as a woman in Electrical Engineering inthe 1980s. During graduate school, she took several courses in Feminist Studies in response toher male peers constantly asking, “What do women think?” These courses gave her invaluableexperiences and some language and theoretical understanding of concepts such as privilege,sexism, racism, structural inequality and

Maryland’s PROMISE AGEP,LSAMP, and LSAMP-BD delegations demonstrated a clear need to assist the global community.They were particularly interested in working on problems related to industry innovation,infrastructure, gender equality, sustainable cities, and communities. Students realized thatapproaches to solutions could not be centralized to their own country, and that their proposalshad to be feasible and logical for other parts of the world. As an example, challenges withbringing clean water to remote regions and approaches to sanitation required a need to take timeto learn from peers from other countries. Students were asked to provide ubiquitous solutions tothe problems. They were asked to consider themselves as part of the respective

While class performance improved with theproportion of adult students, these students graduate at a lower rate than traditional students.Social integration was identified as a key to retention since anxiety leads to questioning abilitiesand thus stunted performance. Interviews revealed that Adult learners viewed themselves asmore experienced, more career focused, and less interested in social activities than the traditionalstudents. The authors conclude by encouraging educators to be cognizant of the

It is primarily a call to consider how students engage in their college experience,and to search for proper tools that can be deployed to stimulate learning.In moving forward, there are numerous tools available to select from, including the modelspredicated on cooperation; i.e., working together to accomplish shared goals. Withincooperative activities, individuals seek outcomes that are beneficial to them and also benefitall other group members. (2, 3) Cooperative learning researchers and practitioners have shownthat positive peer relations are essential to success in college. The positive interpersonalrelationships promoted through cooperative learning are regarded by most as crucial totoday’s learning communities. They increase the
