Our efforts focus attention on the experiences of high-achieving black men in theliterature. We believe this approach honors the efforts of the many researchers who have focusedon countering the deficit narrative (Tolbert Smith, 2022) associated with black men over the last15 years of work and we rely on this research extensively in the present review. However, wewill demonstrate that more research is needed to better understand the range of experiences ofblack men in general, and high-achieving black men in particular, in undergraduate engineeringprograms.PositionalityWe are both

Notably, the VR intervention lacked theThreading Lace task, a component of Manual Dexterity for Age Band 2, resulting in the absenceof data for this category; however, Aiming & Catching and Balancing tasks were fullyimplemented in VR.

To maintain the quality of education in this field, each accreditation bodyhas established several student learning outcomes (SLOs).

On the other side,there had been 6.1 million hires [1]. Although the pandemic did not start the resignations, itdefinitely spurred the “Great Resignation”, also known as the “Big Quit” or the “GreatReshuffle” [2], where people exited their current positions in a massive amount due to variousreasons like relocation, reconsideration, reshuffling, etc. as described in
