Blackfeminist standpoint must be promoted collectively through agency (space to share livedexperiences for the creation of meaning) and power (access to knowledge claims).AgencyMarcel [28] states agency is sensing the pre-reflection self. From this frame of mind, agency isan inherent cause of action due to an immersion with feelings and beliefs. Additionally, agencycan commonly be referred to as a space - describing all the dimensions in which we, as humanbeings, exist (e.g., physical, mental, and social), is used to help understand the importance ofagency. According to Alston et al. [29], the freeing or oppressing of any state of thesedimensions directly impacts an individual's ability to project their reality onto their world.Combining the ideas of

understandingand encourage students to engage actively with course material. Furthermore, the substantial impact of analytical effort on analytical exam performancehighlights the significance of targeted interventions aimed at enhancing analytical skills amongengineering students. Educators could implement tailored instructional approaches, such asproblem-based learning, case studies, and hands-on projects, to develop students' analyticalabilities and improve their performance in analytical tasks. Additionally, the findings underscore the value of perceived effort as a predictor ofacademic success in engineering education. By acknowledging and measuring students'perceived effort levels, educators can gain insights into individual learning

Thus, we posit that asking students to confront thedifferences in their espoused beliefs and their behaviors can help them bring awareness toweaknesses in their approach to making process safety judgements.Conceptual FrameworkAs a part of this project, we developed a conceptual framework around criteria that engineersconsider through their process safety judgements: safety, leadership, relationships, production,spending, and time (Table 1). These criteria emerged from process safety literature and ChemicalSafety Board (CSB) case studies [5]–[8] as well as non-engineering industries that rely onpractitioner judgement [2], [3], [10], [32]. Moreover, this conceptual framework has beenleveraged in other recent works regarding

To ensure equal treatment, by the end of the semester,all participants received the same number of instructional videos to supplement their readings(i.e., six). As an example of this process, in week seven, a standard 50-gallon storage-tank waterheater was compared to a condensing storage water heater. All students were assigned readingscovering both water heaters to be completed before the in-class quiz and group project work.Half of the students in the class were provided with an instructional video on condensing storagewater heaters to be watched

test. If students obtained a higher grade on these “second chance” questions, the gradewould be averaged with the previous test’s results. In this study we only report the raw gradeswith no points back. For this trial, we also conducted a survey on student attitudes towards teststructure and test-related anxiety. It is important to note that the third exam was issued afterstudents were given a very accurate estimate of their projected grades. This caused a change intheir strategy for answering the test, where students who knew they were going to comfortablypass the course took future assessments less seriously. We call this the S/U-effect and discuss it inthe next sections.Question design for Algorithms: For the Algorithms course, questions

that should be noted. Specifically, one student mentioned thedifficulty of organizing peers together for group collaboration and working on projects. Manyonline students are non-traditional students, meaning they have full-time jobs, are married, havechildren, etc. Interacting with peers in online classes is crucial. However, for non-traditionalstudents', time is an important factor as they need to manage both their personal and professionallife. “Most of the posts they are not live.
