Pedagogical Approaches at an HBCUAbstractThe increasing global challenges in critical infrastructure and environmental sustainabilityhighlight the urgent need to integrate sustainability principles into civil engineering education.However, many civil engineering students struggle to apply these principles, particularly incapstone projects. This study assesses sustainability integration in capstone projects at aHistorically Black College and University (HBCU) and identifies effective strategies to enhancestudent engagement with sustainability concepts.A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative analysis of capstone projectscores using a Sustainable Design Rubric and qualitative insights from semi-structured interviewswith students

Using Tinto’s Model in this way allowed the paper to examine how each project’sdesign and implementation supported students’ persistence in STEM.The evaluation plan for the S-STEM projects at participating institutions employed a quasi-experimental design [6] involving two groups: an experimental group consisting of projectparticipants and a comparison group of non-participants. Students in the experimental groupwere enrolled in the S-STEM project and required to engage in key project activities, while thosein the comparison group had access to these

In the Laredo area, the implementation of learning modules by instructors at both thecommunity college and local school district level formed an integral part of project-basedlearning initiatives within courses. At the college level, modules were implemented in coursessuch as College Physics, Physical Science, Introduction to Engineering, College Algebra,Calculus I, Calculus III, and General Biology. At the high school level, participating coursesincluded Principles of Applied Engineering, Robotics, Aerospace

U.S. classrooms (Kovats Sanchez et al., 2022). The authors suggest educatorsdiscuss Latine history through an anti-colonial lens to allow healing for students. Additionally, onestudy highlights the significance of communal and intergenerational settings for transformativesocial and emotional learning (TSEL). It suggests that researchers work with educators to centerIndigenous voices and integrate Indigenous communal practices into TSEL (Mesinas & Casanova,2023). These articles highlight the importance of schools engaging with local Indigenouscommunities and provide valuable recommendations for practitioners working with diasporicIndigenous students. While the findings have yet to be explored in engineering or higher educationcontexts

mentorship and professional development strategies. Building on thisfoundation, the Expanded Network for BP-AE (ENBP-AE) program was established to extendthese efforts and scale the impact to a broader network of institutions and students.The ENBP-AE program strategically added five institutions selected based on the desire toincrease pathways into aerospace careers and existing faculty connections. Since the program’sexpansion, one of the added institutions has established an undergraduate program in aerospaceengineering, and a core institution has launched a graduate program in Aerospace Engineering,further enhancing the capacity for aerospace education within the network.The train-the-trainer mentorship model was pivotal for integrating these

skin pigmentation for years, and these devices haveoverestimated oxygen saturation in Black patients [8]. Also, many medical devices overlook thespecific needs of women or people of color, leading to discomfort, pain, and even injury [9].Similarly, transportation infrastructure projects may prioritize the needs of car-dependentcommuters while neglecting the needs of pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit users,disproportionately impacting low-income communities and communities of color [7, 10]. Theseexamples illustrate how a male-oriented and ethnocentric perspective within engineering practicecan lead to biased and inequitable outcomes. To exacerbate this issue, the currentengineering curriculum frequently fails to provide adequate
