Assessment results of the outreach activity will also be shared.Outreach Activity LogisticsAn initial experiment with incorporating an outreach activity to K-5 students in an economicallydisadvantaged charter school in Detroit was conducted by the PI a few years ago and showed clearbenefits to the REU students [14]. In that initial attempt, students were tasked in early June withdeveloping hands-on activities and presentations that could excite first through fifth graders aboutengineering and STEM. While the activity was highly rated by the REU and elementary schoolstudents and teachers, the logistics of working with elementary school teachers close to the end oftheir school year did not seem

The students for the present studywere from a private university located in the northeastern region of the United States. Theundergraduate engineering program at the university is small, allowing for small course sizes.One instructor taught all five of the courses included in the present study.Table 1.

designed to take, at most, one ninety-minutelecture. The “Water Filtration Activity” was first implemented in the engineering design coursein Spring 2022. (See Appendix C.) It is designed to take a maximum of two ninety-minute lectures.In addition to engaging students in STEM, the activities also bring awareness to potential socio-economic differences and public policy. This is a work-in-progress and the research teamhypothesizes that there is also the potential for an understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion.The activities are presented to first-year courses but are also part of upper level courses. It ishypothesized that by repeating the activities, students will gain a deeper understanding of diversity,equity and inclusion.Literature
department at the case University in November 2022, six teachers agreed to beinterviewed. Previous studies had used the interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA)method to collect data from a small sample size (e.g., six interviewees in Wartenweiler’sstudy and Five interviewees in Wood et al.’s study [29][30][31]). The researcher decided todeploy the IPA method to work with the six female CS and engineering teachers. Duringinterviews, the questions were asked based on these guiding research questions: Whatperceived role and responsibilities do female faculty of computer science and engineeringhold? In what ways faculty’s gender identity influence their perceived roles andresponsibilities? How do they carry out their roles and responsibilities in
technical communication and networking skills.The outcome of this event was to prepare students for a competitive workforce interview processand provide them with direct access to hiring managers to support more intentional hiring practicesat JHU/APL.Event Overview and MethodologyThe main theme of Net-Hack 2022 was “Networking,” which was infused into every aspect of theevent. Net-Hack was composed of five team challenges centered on cutting-edge research areas,such as neuro-imaging, machine learning, and others [Appendix A]. Interns were instructed todeclare their top challenge preferences prior to the event. Students were then assigned to cross-sector teams of approximately five interns based on indicated challenge interests to collectivelyform

We have utilized the same format of the class, a similar studentpopulation, and the same instructor teaching the course every semester starting in Spring 2021.The laboratory course version that includes our teamwork training method was first implementedin the course in the current academic year (2022 – 2023).Survey data from previous iterations of the course (i.e. before Fall 2022) has capturedinformative
mockinterviews and received compensation but were not included as official participants in the study.We conducted ten interviews in Spring 2022 and 18 interviews in Fall 2022. The interviews wereconducted on Zoom and were approximately one hour in length each. The audio recordings weretranscribed by a professional transcription service. To date, ten interviews from Spring 2022have been transcribed, cleaned, and used for the analysis described in this paper. Uponcompletion of the interviews, each participant received an electronic gift card of $50.Interview data analysisFor this qualitative interview data analysis, we combined Hatch’s interpretive analysisframework [21] with Saldana’s code-to-theory model [22]. Hatch describes interpretation as
freshman success. Student success will bedefined in this paper by freshman retention rates, student feedback, increased upper-level courseand course learning outcome comprehension.In the fall of 2022, the course included three of the six offered technology disciplines. The coursewas being taught by assigning readings, in-class activities, homework, and a project assignedhalfway through the semester. The setup of the course led to two distinct eight-week coursesbeing combined into one. The first part attempted to address the heterogeneity of mathcapabilities which ranged from remedial math to calculus II, while the second part attempted toteach engineering technology fundamentals and Microsoft competency.

Theframework insists that organizations must actively look for and remove structural barriers toequity while fostering diversity and inclusion at all organizational levels, hence ensuring DEIefforts are authentic and not performative. Incorporating DEI principles within a researchnetwork may lead to a more equitable and inclusive research environment that values thecontributions of all members and promotes scientific progress.
