In December 2022, the U.S. Department of Education announcedthe “Raise the Bar: STEM Excellence for All Students” initiative, intended to “help implementand scale equitable, high-quality STEM education for all students from Pre-K to highereducation—regardless of background— to ensure their 21st century career readiness and globalcompetitiveness” [4]. One of three Raise the Bar goals is to “develop and support our [U.S.]STEM educators to join, grow, and stay in the STEM field” [4]. This goal targets one of the mostsignificant challenges facing the education field today: teacher recruitment and retention.The COVID-19 pandemic has magnified the teacher shortage in the U.S. Recent research by theNational Center for Education

The aggregated scores of these seven quizzes was used to establish that students inboth semesters were otherwise similar. There were 45 students who registered for the course inFall 2021 and were also registered in Spring 2022. These students could have been influenced byboth versions of the course threatening the validity of the results. Therefore, we decided to limitthe study to students who registered for the course for the first time in each semester.

Society for Engineering Education, 2022 Work in Progress: Success and Retention Strategies for STEM Gatekeeper Courses in a Community CollegeIntroductionStudents encounter many challenges in their first year, including adjusting to the collegeenvironment and taking demanding courses. These challenges manifest in poor retention rates.Recent statistics at our institution show that the one-year retention of full-time first-time enteringstudents is 57% [1]. The likelihood of students quitting a major or dropping out of college issignificantly increased when they fail a course [2]. This project is being developed to addresshigh course failure rates by tackling some of the obstacles to success that students face.The

This work complements existing research with anin-depth comparative analysis of NLP approaches to examining qualitative data within the realmof engineering education, utilizing survey data (training set = 1359, test set = 341) collected from2017 to 2022. The challenges and intricacies of multiple types of classification errors emergingfrom five NLP methods are highlighted: Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), Non-NegativeMatrix Factorization (NMF), BERTopic, Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), and PrincipalComponent Analysis (PCA).

In a mental health studyof engineering students from five Western US universities, results obtained from 700 completedsurvey questionnaire indicated that 28.4% of participants were potentially suffering from adiagnosable mental health condition, while an additional 55.2% exhibited symptoms of moderatepsychological distress [14].

EthicsIntroductionIt is well accepted by both engineering education practitioners and researchers that developingethical engineers is critical for preparing engineering students to meet the obligations ofprofessional practice upon entering the workforce. Yet despite changing society contexts, and inan era where active changes are being seen in post-secondary engineering students (e.g., Sottileet al., 2021; Sottile, Cruz, & McLain, 2022) engineering ethics education largely looks the sameas it did a generation ago. This paper re-examines the question of engineering ethics educationwith an eye towards evaluating how students and faculty respond to relatively modernengineering ethical situations.Literature ReviewA Case for Case StudiesAs Martin, Conlon, and
