to investigating the experiences of Latina/o/x and Black students in engineering. Her scholarship is particularly focused on the relationship between the language and cultural practices of communities and engineering practices. Through her research, teaching, service and mentoring, she supports traditionally underrepresented students who experience a cultural mismatch between the ways of knowing and speaking in their communities and those in engineering. In addition to her work on culturally relevant learning through emerging technologies, Greses uses mixed methodologies to investigate the strengths multicompetent individuals, whose lives exist between languages and/or cultures, might be able to contribute to

However,what is notably missing from NLP work to date is a robust automated framework for accuratelyanalyzing text-based educational survey data. To address this gap, this case study uses NLPmodels to generate codes for thematic analysis of student needs for teaching assistant (TA)support and then compares code assignments for NLP vs. those assigned by an expert researcher.Student responses to short answer questions regarding preferences for TA support were collectedfrom an instructional support survey conducted in a broad range of electrical

the request to post the link on the undergraduateengineering course they were teaching. Participants were then purposefully selected based on theirresponses to the screening survey. Data from these interviews were transcribed, identified, andanalyzed. As suggested by Creswell and Poth [38], and guided by Saldaña [39], a thematic analysisof the interview data was conducted based on consensus between two coders. The thematicanalysis helped identify patterns in the interview data relating to the important factors perceivedby undergraduate engineering students to be important to their MHW. The resultant eleven themeswere then re-grouped and conceptualized into seven factors as can be seen in Figure 1. Please readour published work about this

analysis, we used mainly categorical response tallies and descriptive statisticsto identify portions of the survey with the most potential for follow-up study and hypothesisgeneration. We also performed a thematic analysis on free-response data to help support thesenext-steps ideas. A first trained annotator coded the full dataset and a second rater coded 10% ofthe data. The resulting Cohen’s kappa was 0.70, which indicates a substantial level of inter-raterreliability.Results and DiscussionOverall, the results show little difficulty accessing current course materials, as well as low levelsof interaction with peers and the teaching team during Ecampus coursework, as further detailedbelow.

Due to limited capacity, UREs are often competitive and have selection criteriasuch as grades, test scores, and previous experience or performance based in a class [19].In contrast, CUREs have a structured curriculum and are open to a broader range of students,placing higher demands on mentors to guide multiple students [18]. Duration is a critical factorin both UREs and CUREs, influencing outcomes significantly [18]. UREs and CUREs differ inselectivity, duration, setting, mentoring approaches, and associated costs.

To do so, we refined positioning categories and assigned them toposition options based on previous analysis of positioning within coding experiences. Positionoptions in technical work experience include: self-positioning as an engineering intern, anengineer, a student engineer, a teaching assistant, or an agentic position. We also found somestudents took on two positions, such as self-positioning as an engineering intern and an agenticposition, in their reflections. Thus, we defined and included different combinations of positions.In students’ research experiences, position options
