theGradTrack program. This indicates that mentees-turned-mentors are interested in contributing toand building a community at Purdue Engineering. As the program continues to grow andestablish itself, increased feelings of belonging and community may naturally emerge.An important topic to discuss, and a future refinement that we plan to make to our study, is theincentivization of participants to respond to surveys. For this study all responses were madevoluntarily, with no incentivization. Only 16% of undergraduate student mentees and 46% ofgraduate student mentors replied to both pre- and post-event surveys. Due to the low surveynumbers, there is the possibility that there is volunteer bias in the data presented here. It ispossible that only students

Within academic research, there is a long history and a tendency to perpetuate thedominance of one group by building a collection of theories, methods and tools which disparageor ignore the knowledge and skills of marginalized groups. She offers the example of the PorteusMaze, which was used as a measure of intelligence in Africa at the height of colonial rule.Students were given a printed plan of a maze and had to trace a path they would follow to get tothe center of the maze. However, as more Africans than Europeans were successful in getting tothe center of the maze, this test was abandoned as a measure of intelligence [16].The PSVT:R was developed by Roland Guay in 1977 at Purdue University, cites Sorby andBaartmans [9

Besides enabling the production of highly sophisticated instructive models anddemonstrations, hence improving STEM education, AM is increasingly used as a vehicle toquickly, iteratively and feasibly allow students to build functional prototypes to test theirconceived designs. AM can also help educate students about concurrent engineering, how themanufacturing plan for a part must be developed early on during the design process to make surethat design corrections and changes are not made late in product life cycle, where such changesbecome disruptive and costly.

With the delay in shipping and handling, it is not convenient to order broken parts, sensors, or development boards during the course of a semester. Therefore, there have to be extra kits available for backup which requires planning for the budget accordingly. There are maker spaces available on the central campus where students can work on their open-ended projects. For the second semester course (Fundamentals of Engineering II), the project requires brainstorming and conceptualization of the design and creation of the prototypes.

objective of this course is to provide project-based learning (PBL) andintroduce these students to major projects in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and ComputerEngineering projects so that they can make an informed decision about their major. The PBL is anactive learning method that aims to engage students in acquiring knowledge and skills throughreal-world experiences and well-planned project activities in engineering disciplines. The coursecomprises four team-based unique projects related to Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and ComputerEngineering. The project involves using a variety of engineering tools like AutoCAD, Multisim,and Arduino platforms. For the first time, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the hands-on project-based EGGN-100 course was
