Education, 2024“Someone has invested in me to do this”: Supporting Low-Income Students to Persist in STEM through an NSF S-STEM grantThere have been numerous, widespread national efforts to address the challenge of a growingneed for STEM professionals. In a 2012 report, the President’s Council of Advisors on Scienceand Technology suggested that the United States needed to produce one million additionalcollege graduates in STEM fields by 2022 in order to keep up with the expected growth inSTEM positions [1]. Between 1970 and 2018, STEM occupations grew 79% [2] and areexpected to continue to grow 10.8% between 2021 and 2031 [3]. Evidence suggests that thenumber of STEM degrees is increasing, as is the diversity of those obtaining STEM
environment for all cultures.In terms of gender ratio among undergraduate students at Inno Wing, the ratio stands at 0.8 malesto 1 female. When considering the demographic gaps among users in the makerspace, it isimportant to note that all engineering students have become users since 2022/23. The gender gapin the makerspace aligns with the gap between STEM subjects and other subjects. In 2018/19,the proportion of female first-degree graduates across all subjects was 54%, whereas in STEMsubjects, the proportion was 32%. Creating an equal, inclusive and welcoming workingenvironment, free of discrimination and harassment, remains crucial.To approach this challenge, we deliberately assemble a more culturally diversified tutor team andembrace differences
respondentsreported using either Google Scholar or a general search engine like Google vs. 13% who usedspecialized databases. Only 8% reported using the library website or catalog (Brink et al., 2022).To supplement evidence that faculty are largely shifting away from using subscription-basedsearch tools to find scholarly sources, researchers have compared the efficacy of top science andengineering databases with Google Scholar. Cole and collaborators (2018) found that GoogleScholar outperformed both Compendex and Scopus in terms of citation availability. From asample pool of citations drawn from engineering dissertations, Google Scholar consistentlyretrieved approximately 95% of citations, while Scopus retrieved between 40-80% of citationsand Compendex 25-55

Depending on the course, data was collected at the middle andconclusion of the fall semester 2022, spring 2023 and fall semester 2023 with the objective ofanalyzing the evolution of the teaching methodology. The choice of anonymous surveys withopen-ended and multiple-choice questions as a method to obtain information facilitated studentsto express their viewpoints of having frequent unannounced evaluations [51]. The surveyquestions focused on eliciting responses related to students' perceptions of subject learning andtheir commitment to academic integrity.This study specifically examines student’s perceptions of frequent unannounced evaluationsversus traditional evaluations and how they gauge the effectiveness of these assessments in termsof

CSEdResearch.org 1 adrienne@buffalo.edu, 2 monica@csedresearch.orgAbstractWe recently hosted a workshop that brought together 12 K-8 teachers who teach computer science(CS) and/or computational thinking and 12 CS education researchers. Since there is a known gapbetween practices that researchers study and practices that teachers implement in a learningenvironment, the purpose of our full-day workshop was to create a meaningful space for teachersand researchers to meet and explore each others’ perspectives. The dialogue was framed aroundteachers’ classroom experiences with researchers reflecting on how they could improve theirresearch practice.

In the post and pre-surveys of theintervention semester, 25 and 22 students responded from a senior-level mechanical engineeringcourse.A pool of survey questions was developed to understand the following: a) Knowledge of sustainability, b) Attitudes and intended behavior towards sustainability, c) Willingness to pursue a sustainability career, and d) Perceived preparedness for a sustainability career. The essential goal of the intervention is to understand the role that the instructional approachplays in changing undergraduate students' knowledge, attitudes

Laura I. Spears, PhD, University of FloridaAbstractPrior to embarking on a major renovation of the University of Florida’s (UF) science andengineering library in 2022, the library asked their patrons, including engineering students, whatthey wanted in an academic library space. How do engineering students use their academiclibrary and what do they envision as an ideal space? The library teamed with the Department ofInterior Design in the UF College of Design, Construction and Planning to collaborate on a studyof the top two floors of the library that were slated for renovation. The goal was to develop floorplans that facilitate innovative research, creative thinking and problem-solving. The studymethodology included an observational study

summer bridge programs are transformative. Data were collected from acohort of 30 incoming first-year engineering students who participated in summer 2022 at aMidwestern public university. The findings show that transformative learning was evident duringthe program. Using transformative learning outcomes as an indicator of effectiveness in summerbridge programs is beneficial because they provide in-situ assessment factors, unlike the currentex post facto assessment methods. This approach would be beneficial for the current cohort ofsummer bridge participants instead of just improving future programs.Keywords: Summer bridge programs, transformative learningIntroductionOver the past decades, many colleges and universities have been struggling with

courseis to provide students with a fundamental understanding of EMC principles to prepare them forfuture careers in industry and academia.To enhance student engagement and interest, several new teaching practices were proposed andimplemented during the fall 2022 semester. These practices included making real-worldconnections to the course materials, using concept maps to depict the connections between high-level concepts and lower-level facts, incorporating cartoon pictures into the classroom to add asense of humor, and a gamified approach in the form of a Jeopardy-style game. These approachesare adopted to help students reinforce their knowledge and gain a stronger understanding of EMCconcepts.The emphasis of this paper will be on improving the
