to amplify current efforts at HSIs? Given thediversity of the Latinx student population, this paper also explores differences in the perceptions ofeducators from two different geographical regions of the United States. Further, as educationalresponsibilities and passions can vary with instructor role (e.g., tenured, tenure-track, lecturers,professional faculty), this study examines the differences in perspectives across instructor role. Byunderstanding how engineering educators at HSIs describe their students, discrepancies can be identifiedwhich could lead to opportunities for affecting educational change, resulting in an improved educationalexperience at HSIs and other institutions educating Latinx engineers.MethodologyResearch project

Research Purpose and QuestionsPast efforts to foster inclusion have primarily focused on the numbers and been limited in theways we teach, train and expose people to learning inclusiveness and empathy. Moreover, suchefforts are also linked to the misconception that increasing demographic representationnecessitates an inclusive environment. Cultures must change to achieve inclusion.

All participants are required to have access to the Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces (ALEKS) web-based student assessment system or a similar software program.

Jennifer Blue, Amy Summerville, Brian P Kirkmeyer1 A sense of social belonging appears to be a crucial factor in student success and retention in STEM. As part of a larger NSF-funded project, we collected data about students’ perceived social belonging in the department for a calculus-based physics course taken by the majority of engineering majors and in an early programming course. Students completed surveys in the first two weeks of the semester, and again approximately one month later, after the first exam (6-8 weeks into the semester). Students reported a decrease in belonging over time. We examined whether this pattern differed for several historically marginalized groups: women, non-white
