studies evaluated consumer awareness [40] and the impact of consumer information,including environmental benefits, on buyer intentions [36]. After considering vehicle rangeissues, charging stations, consumer information, “the affordability of EVs remain[s] the greatestbarrier [31].” In summary, factors related to EV were found to be battery and chargingtechnology, access and convenience, environmental value, and primarily affordability.Charging Infrastructure Other scholarship has focused more specifically on best practices in building chargingstation infrastructure. These included land use clustering [41], community charging hub modelsfor multi-dwelling EV drivers [42], and supply/demand optimization algorithms [5]. Carlton andSultana’s

One common example of CBR isuniversity-community collaboration in which students and researchers come up with ideas,perspectives, and knowledge at each stage of the project with the goal to address communityneeds. The community is

The US no longer leads in science and engineering researchpublications or patents, and it graduates fewer STEM Ph.D.’s compared to countries like China(National Science Board, National Science Foundation, 2021, Zwetsloot, et al, 2021). These gapsbegin early, with significant disparities in

We will continueto expand our data size and we will continue to collaborate with more local community partnersand student organizations within Wright College to organize volunteering opportunities. Withmore activities and larger data size, we will compare the impact of all terms on the STEMidentity and STEM efficacy of volunteers.V.

Located in Rolla, Missouri, the Missouri University of Science andTechnology was founded in 1870 as the Missouri School of Mines. In 2023, a total of more than7,000 students (approximately 1,500 graduate and 5,500 undergraduate) are enrolled inapproximately 100 degree programs. Currently characterized as a Carnegie R2, a doctoraluniversity with high research activity, S&T is home to three colleges. Within the College ofEngineering and Computing, the Department of Civil, Architectural, and EnvironmentalEngineering (or CArE) is one of the largest and most research productive
research grant (e.g., NSF),s/he must comply with already structured research as stated in the grant proposal which rarelyincludes RT as defined and outlined above (NSF’s Broader Impact criterion is not RT). In spiteof these institutional, structural, and procedural constraints, the student co-authors in this paperdeveloped a commitment to RT mainly due to the spaces that their HES graduate programopened to do so and the guidance of faculty committed to RT. Hence, as expected, their RTefforts had to be implemented somewhat haphazardly, often circumventing established academicpractices but without placing themselves in trouble. Other students, while deeply committed toRT, found themselves prioritizing traditional academic writing, valued by academic
research mentors to attend outreach events with their students at the start of the student’s program as a sign of encouragement and commitment to broader impacts.AcknowledgmentsThis work was supported by NSF awards #1914490 and #2115169.
