However, the entrepreneurship pathway wasnot available for the Year 1 cohort due to program logistics and the start time of Flit-GAP andhas been established in the Year 2 cohort only at UCF. Throughout the academic year, Flit-GAPoffers a variety of hybrid co-curricular events that aim to inform students about different post-graduation pathway options and foster community among participants across the threeinstitutions.For the 2022-2023 school year, Flit-GAP events included an orientation for students to learnmore about the program, a LinkedIn event where students learned tips and tricks for networkingon the site; a graduate school showcase that spotlighted
college’s academic success/tutoringcenter, a re-design of the first-year college success course that put increased emphasis onbuilding a sense of community and belonging and narrowed the objectives to aiding students inbecoming strategic learners, exploring and reflecting on their skills, interests and abilities anddeveloping tools and strategies for navigating social and professional situations.The data show that the combined efforts of the engineering program and the college academicsuccess team have resulted in the 1st year to 2nd year retention of engineering students exceeding80% for the cohorts entering the program from the fall of 2019 through fall of 2022. This levelexceeded that of non-engineering students in each of those years except
departments or institutions. Watkins & McGowan (2022) found thatBlack communities outside of science and engineering departments served as counterspacesfor Black men pursuing degrees at PWIs. While not affiliated with their areas of study, thesespaces helped support their unique and often troublesome experiences at their institution. Inanother study examining Black women's experiences in undergraduate engineering on aprimarily White campus, Blosser (2011) suggested that institutional change could begin withsupporting and creating counterspaces for Black women and other students with marginalizedidentities. This institutional change could begin with understanding a possible counterspace thatmany majority White-serving institutions have

Two cohorts of participantswere recruited to the workshop series, providing opportunities to learn about the strengths andconcerns of S-STEM project teams and their institutional offices as they develop their S-STEMproposals.

Cohort 2 was recruited in November-December 2022, withworkshops held virtually during December 2022-February 2023.A total of 114 participants from diverse backgrounds and institution types were recruited to twoworkshop cohorts (winter 2022 and 2023), including faculty and administrators with limited orno S-STEM experience.

rural places are oftendescribed by their deficits (Reagan et al., 2019), this study operationalizes place-based pedagogyand the theoretical framework of rural cultural wealth (Crumb et al., 2022) to conceptualize andengage rural places from an asset-based perspective. We believe rural places can be richenvironments for engineering and science learning. Therefore, we aspire to support high schoolstudents with the development of soil or air quality inquiry projects that are relevant to their localrural communities. Situated within a larger study on the SCENIC outreach program and itsimpact on student participation in and identification with engineering and science, this paperfocuses more narrowly on place-based engineering with students in the
after a sudden disruption to highereducation?”IV. MethodsA. SettingThis study examined LMS feature use in second- and third-year courses taught in a Midwest R1University in a single department in a college of engineering. The selection of the second- andthird-year was due to reports that these academic years in higher education are generally under-studied despite retention issues in these years [e.g., 20].The focus of the study was on Spring semesters from 2019 to 2023. This timeframe was selectedto allow tracking of LMS feature use before (2019), during (2020-2021), and after (2022-2023)the disruption. Only Spring semesters were considered to maximize the similarity of courseofferings when comparing LMS feature use across semesters; a

For academia toincorporate ethics, it can use traditional methods such as definitions and student codes, papers,rubrics, and videos. Non-traditional methods such as OER textbooks, and card games might alsofill the void to successfully meet these needs and get students to critically think about theirchoices and the consequences of their actions.References[1] T.

As these two gatekeeper courses serve asprerequisites to many engineering courses, low performance in these courses contributes to a largedropout rate, delayed graduation, and continued poor performance in subsequent courses.

Educational and theoretical implications were discussed.IntroductionThe worldwide trend towards technology-driven development is becoming increasinglyevident, creating new demands and challenges for education, including engineeringeducation. The current workforce requires interdisciplinary knowledge and professional skills(Tan, 2021). Hence, the everyday teaching and learning methods may need to be revised toensure that students are sufficiently equipped with the skills required in the workforce(Venkatesh et al., 2022). Instead, learners need to accept
