When URMs do integrate into the scientific community, such as by formingstudy groups, participating in undergraduate research, and getting involved in clubs ororganizations, their likelihood of completing an engineering degree increases [9], [31]. URMswho leave engineering fields cite a lack of sense of belonging or engineering identity, furtherdemonstrating the importance of becoming integrated into the field [32]–[35].Beyond factors such as these that push URMs away from engineering, research has indicated thatURMs may be pulled towards other careers, particularly by an interest in altruistic and socially-relevant work, which can be difficult to fulfill in a STEM field

In this paper, we address this questionin two ways. First, we conducted an experiment with student participants to give an

In the past, AI was traditionally limited to industry. However, the integration ofengineering and computer science (CS) in pre-college education has led AI to emerge as the nextimperative topic in K-12 education [1], [2], [3].

One principal reason is the difficulty of enacting these active learningprinciples. Because these are skills gained and refined while performing them, without practice,many engineering graduate students do not have the opportunity to acquire them. Further,graduate students are also often deprived of the lessons, experiences, and other productiveoutcomes gained through teaching.In this paper, we shared our experiences, reflections, and growth as apprentice faculty at two USR1 institutions.

In engineering education, we place a lot of significance on student participation inthe labs, but we seldom make students part of the curriculum and lab development. Throughactive involvement in lab development, students gain higher levels of learning andunderstanding. It is also well established that a good lab design involves open-ended design toprovide sufficient challenge to students for them to achieve cognitive learning and practicalskills.
