dominant narratives of exclusion as they cope with shame [4, 10].This project is designed to address two significant gaps in extant literature: 1) the role ofprofessional shame in facilitating or mitigating cultural patterns of well-being; 2) the complex,dynamic nature of the lived emotional experiences of engineering faculty. We organize thisproject around the following objectives: Objective 1: Examine social and individual experiences of professional shame in engineering faculty. Objective 2: Characterize the link between faculty’s emotional experience and their surrounding cultures of well-being. Objective 3: Establish a framework to provide training for engineering programs to establish cultures that support

dismal [1]. The historical exclusion of Black and Brown students can be linkedto systemic racism infused throughout engineering education. The status quo of who gets to bean engineer is often associated with white, cisgender men, resulting in an exclusionary culturebased on white and masculine norms and values [2]. Thus, progress toward diversifyingengineering and building an inclusive culture remains insufficient. While existing scholarship has explored the barriers racially/ethnically minoritizedstudents face in engineering and the change strategies that promote pedagogical innovations inengineering education, this CAREER project sits at the intersection of both topics. Morespecifically, research efforts focused on broadening

unprecedented ratesof mental health concerns in university students [1] and overburdened counseling centers [2],doctoral students face an additional crisis of retention, with national attrition rates of 43% fordoctoral students [3]. Evidence suggests that these situations are worsening in light of theCOVID-19 pandemic [4].Previous studies of graduate student stress have linked stressors and anxiety to student retention[5]. Studies promoting graduate student well-being have generally focused on reactiveinterventions (e.g., [6], [7]) and a wide range of studies involving stressors focus on particularsources of stress, labs, or populations, meaning the broader landscape of stressors andpopulations must be contextualized using multiple sources (e.g., [8

Together, student veterans and servicemembers (SVSM) are a unique yet understudied student group that comprises substantial numbersof those historically underrepresented in engineering (i.e., due to race, ethnicity, gender, ability,orientation, etc.). That, in combination with technical interests and skills, maturity, life experience,and self-discipline, makes SVSM ideal candidates for helping engineering education meet thesedemands [1,2].

This necessitates thateducators take measures that could enhance the students’ self-efficacy. Also, the perceivedvalue, which is described as students’ anticipated benefits and sacrifices with respect to theoutcome of using educational tools or services has been said to have the ability to maximize theperformance of a teaching method [1], [9]. This is because it is correlated with students’motivation and performance [10

-correcting in learning, the positive influence ofpeer learning, and the need for innovative teaching practices to be sufficiently pragmatic.The Utility of Self-Correcting in LearningStudents learn well by correcting their mistakes. The mistake and its correction form amemorable narrative, a story of what was wrong but was made right. This is anecdotally reportedin tutoring sessions, where concepts mastered quickly often fade, but those which requiredcorrection persist in a student’s memory. To scale this concept beyond 1:1 tutoring sessions,multiple authors have reported on assigning students to retake tests, often in teams or as a take-home exam (Felder et al., 2000; Fengler & Ostafichuk, 2015; Nease et al., 2021).

of a Statics recitation coursedesigned to improve the passing rate in a fundamental class. Learning data such as grades andself-reported information from surveys were analyzed through binomial logistical regressionanalysis to determine their ability to predict student success in Statics. The goal was to develop amethod of identifying students who would be at risk of failing the course based on historicallypredictive indicators of student learning and invite “at-risk” students to join the recitation courseearly in the semester. The impact of recitation was then determined by comparing the passingrate of at-risk students who registered for recitation with those who did not take the recitationcourse. Early results showed midterm 1 exam scores

The optimality of the solutions is determined by an objective function that isformulated into the problem statement along with the constraints.
