education practices. In this paper, we will discuss the majorcomponents of these pivots, including (i) transitioning existing programming to the virtualenvironment, (ii) reassessing chapter direction and goals by expert elicitation to evaluate chapterniche, (iii) developing new strategies to increase participation and engagement, including theformation of an anti-racism multimedia learning club aimed at promoting awareness of systemicinequity and discussing strategies to combat anti-black racism in higher education, and(iv) continuously adjusting chapter goals and activities through iterative reflection. We will placethis discussion in the context of literature on mental health, well-being, and flourishing ofstudents and educators during this
framework to better understand empathyamong engineering educators. The framework is made up of three mutually dependentdimensions: skills, orientation, and being. The skills dimension includes empathic skills that canbe learned such as perspective taking, mode switching, and affective sharing. The orientationdimension concerns one’s proclivity for being empathetic and includes aspects such as anepistemological openness and reflective values awareness. The being dimension aligns withone’s values and morals as engineers and citizens and how these morals and values define andguide our actions and behaviors. Interviews were conducted with three assistant professors andone professor and these interview transcripts were thematically analyzed using in
material is consistent with their future career (Wigfield, 1994; Wigfield &Eccles, 2000). The interest component is based on how students perceive course topics andinstructional methods, interesting (Hidi & Ann Renninger, 2006; Renninger, Hidi, Krapp, &Renninger, 2014). Further, the success component is formed on expectancy for success(Wigfield, 1994; Wigfield & Eccles, 2000). This component reflects students’ self-efficacy aboutthe coursework (Bandura, 1986). The caring component is based on students believes thatinstructors care about their success and well-being (Noddings, 1992).Motivation can be perceived as a student’s intention and engagement in learning as student’saction (Christenson, Reschly, & Wylie, 2012).

The research will also be extended to other community collegesthat do not provide opportunities for engineering organizations, and we will compare them to4-year institutions that yield plenty of opportunities for student participation.ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Ruzica Todorovic and Bridget O'Connell This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. DUE-1832553.

member expanding on the pre-workshop materials, then attendees shared theirperspectives in discussion groups while SDEI members served as moderators and note-takers.This paper provides a model for other student groups of the planning, structure, content, andoutcomes of an Unlearning Series. Responses from participant surveys conducted at the close ofthe summer and group reflections amongst SDEI committee leaders are also presented. Thisfeedback has been translated into lessons learned presented at the conclusion of this paper.IntroductionIntegrating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) topics in university coursework intended toprepare future planners, designers, and builders has proven to be a challenge.

counterparts are controlled for socioeconomic status, education, and access [2],[3]. In the U.S., the federal Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities Initiative documented HD in the following areas: infant mortality, cancer screening and management, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and adult and child vaccinations [4]. Using vision health as an example, this is reflected in U.S. Latinx populations (Mexican-Americans) who have a prevalence of diabetic retinopathy that is 2to 2.5 times greater than other U.S. population groups (Caucasian population), despitediabetic retinopathy arising as a complication of diabetes that can be managed anddelayed with timely intervention [5], [6]. Furthermore, age is a known risk factor forprimary open angle glaucoma
TechnologyStudies (STS). Throughout the fall 2019 semester, I began to question the ways in which I hadbeen recruited and channeled, as a woman with an interest in science and math, into studyingengineering. Upon taking an introductory STS course, I was introduced to reflecting criticallyabout engineering as a field of study. This led me to enroll in a graduate seminar, EngineeringStudies, which provided me with a much deeper introduction to STS-inflected studies ofengineering, including engineering education. During this time, my professor, along with apostdoctoral fellow, were co-PIs for a study of student experiences in engineering education andhad already convened a group of undergraduate students who were in the process of interviewingtheir peers

Belowwe describe ideas and observations derived from Jamie’s interview which may relate to thequantitative findings.Idea 1: The student faced challenges during the programming portion of the intervention.Jamie discussed some of her experiences programming, stating: That if one tiny little thing is wrong, your whole entire problem could be wrong…I was using different variables because I thought I didn't have that variable [made]. So then I'd have two different variables and then something wouldn't work for
faculty: “I think maybe like a Best Practices Guide for students taking online classes would bebeneficial, how to effectively manage one’s time since I think time management is really key. It'skey in any situation, especially for incoming students, not quite knowing how is college differentthan high school. Managing their time would be giving student a lot more freedom. So, I thinkimplementing Best Practices Guide, strategies for time management, as well as setting outschedules would give them ample opportunity for breaks as it hard for students to sit in front of acomputer all day long” (Research Participant 5)Conclusion & future work In this study, multiple common themes reflected faculty perceptions of studentexperiences and
persistence. Developingwelcoming environments for students to build friendships, gain experience with research, andallowing them to present their research to others can all be beneficial. Going forward, weencourage educators to offer increased opportunities in alignment with the work described here,to foster student interest, and to broaden participation in graduate fields.AcknowledgementThis study is based on work supported by the National Science Foundation [CollaborativeResearch: Florida IT Pathways to Success (Flit-Path) NSF# 1643965, 1643931, 1643835].
