engineering education is critical for fostering economic expansion and innovation.However, entering careers in the STEM fields can be very challenging for members ofunderrepresented groups, such as women, minorities, and people from low socioeconomicorigins (Kiernan et al., 2023). Research shows that persistent prejudices and biases function assevere hurdles, discouraging these people from pursuing professions in STEM (Wong et al.,2022). Gendered expectations and misconceptions about innate abilities not only diminishconfidence and self-efficacy (Clark et al., 2021) but also obstruct academic and professionaldevelopment in STEM domains (O’Connell & McKinnon, 2021). Additionally, access to qualitySTEM education is unevenly distributed, with

IntroductionPlanning, monitoring, and evaluation are valuable skills that comprise the regulation ofcognition, also known as metacognition. These skills can be
allowed for coordinating planningand troubleshooting, as well as the opportunity for a closure conversation. Recent conversationsamongst PIs and site managers across the universities indicated that a longer debriefing would bevaluable soon after the internship end. This would allow each site to share ‘lessons learned’ thatmay be helpful across sites, while the observations are still fresh.MethodsThis paper aggregates two years of implementation data from the replication of the Community-Engaged Educational Ecosystem (C-EEEM). Working with two summers (2022, 2023) of dataenabled researchers to examine the impacts of the C-EEEM on smaller subgroups by aggregatingthe two cohorts, thereby increasing statistical power.In the first year of the C-EEEM

Although the tool has potential to change the natureof work, research, and education [15] much of its practical utility in academic libraries remainsunderexplored, especially in the multimodal space.The following research study aims to answer two interrelated questions: what do the citationpatterns of Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) capstone students reveal about theirinformation behavior and can new AI technologies assist researchers in analyzing these citationdata?Since 2017, librarians

Table 3 shows demographics of year 1 and 2 as reported within NSF’s ETAP system.Candidates were evaluated on a cover letter, résumé, and three letters of support; in the first year,all candidates were interviewed on Zoom by a PI using a common set of objective questions, andrecordings and notes were shared between PIs for joint selection. In Y2, the process addedadditional screening questions; due to a larger number of applicants (a result of a longermarketing timeline and increased recruiting efforts), candidates not meeting requirements werenot given formal interviews.

is aimed at examining the nature of HispanicServing Institution (HSI) scholarship related to engineering education and what implications aredrawn for faculty and administrators in engineering at HSIs. Based on the 2021-2022 estimates,approximately one in six colleges and universities in the United States, District of Columbia, andPuerto Rico meet the criteria1 to be designated as an HSI in the United States [1]. HispanicServing Institutions carry the responsibility of educating a large proportion of the nation’sracially and ethnically minoritized and low-income students [1]. HSIs play a vital role inattracting, enrolling, and retaining Latinx and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)students in engineering and computer science

The new name is more explicit in describingthe goal of the program, which is to prepare the participants for STEM careers bystimulating their spatial skills, 3D visualization, analytical abilities, pattern recognitionskills, memory, attention to detail, and general mental performance of participants.The various stages of the program have been presented in three previous ASEEpapers. After a successful testing in 2022, the program has been included as part ofsummer camps at the DoSeum in San Antonio and in the Lunar Caves Analog TestSites Program (LCATS

The M-CURE courses are opento all research students at the partner institution campus, but funding and programmatic support aredirected to BIPOC and women students.Building CommunityA few years ago some members of our team met at a conference focused on supporting underrepresentedstudents. We had a few conversations that identified possible ways to collaborate and our team started toform. In January 2022 we were funded with a pilot grant to explore a multiple-mentor model forbroadening participation using undergraduate research. Our team met bi-weekly to make progress on ourgoals, and to build community between our project team members.In a project focused on collaboration, we believe how our team tackled this project may be as

Early iterations of the camp (2021–2022) involved anexploration of different tools and strategies to engage students effectively, such as using the P5.jslibrary for creative coding exercises and incorporating live Zoom sessions for synchronousinstruction and support.By 2023, our experience and observations had led to a refined structure that emphasized activelearning and peer collaboration. We introduced breakout rooms during Zoom sessions, allowingfor more personalized instruction and small-group discussions. This approach aligns with thefindings of Lowe et al.[2], who identified breakout rooms as a critical component of effectivevirtual STEM programs. Moreover

Proposed terms for active and passive HCA and its transmission and adapted from R.J.Downey & I.Villanueva Alarcón (2022). This secondary analysis inspired us to explore more deeply these active and passive HCand identify how intersectional identities (e.g., first-generation-FG, POC, and marginalized)connected to an expression of experiencing more negative or positive emotions. For this, we re-visited the original 984 participants and identified those participants thatresponded to a drop-down menu of 14 discrete emotions connected to the HC they haveexperienced. Also, participants was asked if the emotion selected was positive or
