effective college teacher. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Institutional Data as Motivation for Course-Level Change in EngineeringIntroduction and BackgroundFor decades, studies have called for attention to recruiting and retaining a diverse studentpopulation in STEM fields and increasing the numbers of STEM graduates [1, 2]. Multiplestudies have documented an “achievement gap” in terms of success for under-representedminorities (URM) [3] and first-generation college students [4], and also provide a multitude ofsuggestions for better supporting these students at the institutional and classroom levels [3, 5].In 2019, ASEE

important to understand how students conceptualizesocial issues we are asking them to address.MethodologyContext of the StudyIn order to understand undergraduate engineering students’ perceptions of homelessness, weincorporated an engineering design project focused on homelessness into a User-CenteredDesign course at our university. This paper focuses on the projects assigned in the fall semesterof 2019 and the spring semester of 2020. These two projects were both centered aroundhomelessness, but differed in their scope due to the COVID-19 pandemic during the 2020spring semester. During the Fall 2019 semester, students enrolled in the course were asked todesign a solar water heater for a mobile shower unit intended to provide services to

As an example, shediscussed the culpability of engineering educators in worsening climate change by failing to“provide students with a moral language to think about engineers’ responsibility for climatechange” [66, p. 449]. Additionally, she explained that
engineering and teamwork characteristics and experiences (e.g., goalorientation, engineering identity, belongingness) and others are interested in balancing such goalswith legitimate concerns of survey fatigue.In Fall 2018, we piloted portions of the tool in our own introductory engineering class (~60students). In Winter 2019, Tandem’s alpha-version launched, again for only our first year course(~60 students). The Center for Academic Innovation expands access each semester in ways tointentionally stretch the tool as a way of pushing development of features (for example, in Fall 22019 it was supported in two other classes, one large enrollment [~650

These analyses are often made through liberal or systems-focused frameworks,largely ignoring the Gender, Romantic, and Sexual Minority (GRSM) community (See Gold,2019 [10]) for more information on the GRSM community; Be advised that ‘I’ refers to the firstauthor of this paper, and that I use ‘GRSM’ and ‘queer’ in place of LGBTQIA+. It is my beliefas a queer individual myself that these terms more accurately encompasses the diversity withinthe community to which it refers). According to a recent poll, nearly 5% of the United Statespopulation identifies as something other than cisgender or heterosexual, which corresponds toover 16 million Americans [11].Despite this statistic

For the past two summers, Thomas has worked two internships: the first as an en- gineering intern at Allnex in 2019, and the second as an Environment, Health and Safety Intern at Pfizer in 2020. Working at Pfizer especially developed Thomas’s work ethic and passion for chemical engineer- ing, influencing him to seek further related chemical engineering positions after graduation where he can apply the knowledge he has learned in school to the pharmaceutical or manufacturing industries. Thomas is now seeking a full-time position with an engineering firm starting summer 2021 where he can
