This research aims to find whether taxi time at airports differ by airport hubclassifications and by the number of hot spots on airports.For this study, a sample of 33 airports was selected from the 77 airports listed in the AviationSystem Performance Metrics (ASPM) [5] data published by the FAA. The researchers sampledthe 11 busiest airports (by number of operations conducted) from each of the three hubcategories – Large (L), Medium (M), and Small (S) – as identified by the National Plan ofIntegrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) [6]. The 20 busiest days (by number of operationsconducted) from May 01, 2022, to September 30, 2022 were selected for each airport.

contingent faculty minus the benefits (e.g., health)(ASA Task Force on Contingent Faculty Employment, 2019). In engineering, contingent faculty are severely understudied and undersupported (Coso-Strong, Kendall, Henderson, & Basalo, 2019; Coso Strong et al., 2022; Fetcher, 2019; VillanuevaAlarcón & Muñoz, 2023; Villanueva & Muñoz, 2021). Moreover, minoritized engineeringcontingent faculty research in STEM is lacking (Berdie, Downey, Muñoz, & Villanueva Alarcón,2023; Coso-Strong et al., 2022). While it is understood that working conditions for minoritizedcontingent faculty need to improve for all and barriers like access to resources need to beovercome (AAUP, 2018; Berdie et al., 2023; Coso-Strong et al., 2022), little is known
African American femalemiddle school participants in a summer program.In 2021, faculty in the Center for Cybersecurity Assurance and Policy (CAP) at Morgan State University(MSU) developed and implemented the GenCyber 'Females are Cyber Stars' (FACS) Summer Camp. Thisinitiative targeted female African American students in Baltimore Public Middle Schools. A total of 39girls participated in the virtual program during the summer of 2021, and 25 girls engaged in the in-personprogram during the summer of 2022. The goals of the program were to increase female students' interest incybersecurity and provide exposure to the fundamentals of cybersecurity, exploitation of hardware andsoftware vulnerabilities, and security of IoT (Internet of Things) devices
and a teaching assistant, a postdoctoral fellowwith expertise in technological development, were also crucial. During this process, we analyzedthe articles read by the students, the evolution of the requirements, the tools used by the students,and the development of the learning outcomes.The data used for this study included the quantity of papers used in each iteration, the number andtype of requirements defined by the working groups, the design tools used, and feedback commentsfrom the project. Additionally, a comparison was made with the cohort of students from theprevious two years (2021 and 2022), where the number of papers used, and the characteristics ofthe project were employed.Results and DiscussionPapers consultedOne of the most
involvescritical thinking and design-based problems using teamwork, design, and inquiry-based learningto practice and apply these skill sets, a connection to critical consciousness is a natural one,especially since critical consciousness involves “inquiry-based thinking and needs to bedeveloped through practice” (Kantharajah, 2022, p. 9). Engineering instructors have been reforming curricula and/or using aspects of CRP indesign problems to encourage inquiry-based thinking. For instance, Castaneda (2019) exploredhow steps could be taken to implement critical consciousness into a broader engineeringcurriculum through a sophomore statics and dynamics course instead of an isolated concept in anupper-level seminar (Castaneda, 2019).

In particular, we surveyedstudents during the Winter 2022 term in which, at the University of California Irvine, classesstarted online and transitioned back to in person after four weeks.

Weperformed inductive coding of the students’ responses to discover emergent themes from thesefirst hand accounts of student experiences, and we discuss students’ challenges and successesrelated to themes such as motivation, time management, maintaining a work/life balance,communication with peers, and access to technology and a

One important part of the solution tothis issue is the implementation of technical education programs such as the one in place atTumaini Innovation Center in Eldoret, Kenya. These programs provide the skills necessary forstudents to enter the workforce (Ohagwu et al., 2022) and give students relevant experiencethrough industrial attachment programs in which students are paired with employers and workprior to receiving their certification. However, technical education programs throughout theworld can run into several challenges such as a mismatch between student skills and marketdemands (Sang et al
