Discrimination includes stereotypes, biases, isolation, unwelcomingcultures, and many of the other factors examined in this review.Advisor and Faculty SupportMinoritized students’ relationships with their advisor and faculty can prove to be a double-edgedsword that can have a negative or positive influence on retention [12].

As part of a goal-scenario framework,SLP students functioned as clinicians and were tasked with coming up with the fundamentalpurpose and design of custom therapeutic devices. ME students worked with SLP students todefine functional requirements and to develop specific solutions. ME students were also taskedwith defining an expedient and economic manufacturing method to realize the designs. Theproject was developed as part of a curriculum that supports ABET student outcomes:c. An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realisticconstraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety,restructurability, and sustainability.d.

As an engineer, it is important tolearn about those the project will impact to ensure that the product will meet their needs. Byasking students to consider the needs of others and providing realistic environments to practiceempathy in engineering design challenges, researchers hoped to achieve two outcomes: first,increased retention and initial registration in STEM-based classes after participating in theprogram, and second, greater overall success in designing and creating solutions.The empathy connections made in the program drew heavily from education research, includingNoddings’ ethics of care and Dweck’s growth

These blocks, which include design, analysis,ethics, and laboratory, serve to fragment rather than integrate the curriculum and therefore thelearning experience and preparation of engineering students. The curricula typically includemany levels of pre-requisites and require students fully understand theory before being permittedto practice application. Rather than necessarily informing each other, these insular blocks,typically taught by different entities within the university structure, serve as individualappendages between which the student must somehow identify connections.

O’Brien [17] argues that race-matching alone is insufficient inaccounting for the multiple layers of difference and power differentials that exist betweenresearcher and interviewee. Instead, she contends that the most important objective for theresearcher is instead to “activate” race by addressing it specifically, indicating to intervieweesthat it is acceptable to discuss race openly (p. 79).

their ability to concretelyevaluate student growth ​[12], [13], [33]​. Direct assessments are complicated by three considerations: validity, reliability, andethical limitations on truly scientific study design. Validity asks: does the assessment measurewhat it is supposed to measure? Reliability asks: can writing be consistently and quantitativelyevaluated by different evaluators? Finally, ethics forbid writing centers from executing theclassic “treatment/no treatment” experimental design: true negative controls would requiredenial of writing center access to students who want it. Due to these three constraints, “thetypical evaluation of writing programs...usually fails to obtain statistically significant results” ​[34]​.For this reason
