of the math, science, andengineering improve students’ appreciation of the integrated nature of STEM disciplines.14Furthermore, this research also shows that engaging student in projects that integrate acrossSTEM disciplines is impactful on those that have relatively low perceptions of the integratednature of STEM.Research questionsRQ1: Do students make gains in content (e.g., physics) self-efficacy or knowledge (i.e., quizscores) over the course of the intervention?RQ2: Does that pattern of gains in iSTEM scores match the pattern described in prior research(i.e., students with initially low iSTEM scores exhibit the most gains in iSTEM perceptions)?

workshop and research project focused on their unique challengesand strategies that enable them to survive and thrive in the academy. This paper summarizes the outcomesof the Intergenerational Mentoring Workshop held Summer 2019 and aims to equip the broaderengineering education community with insights for supporting this endangered demographic. Theworkshop was attended by 24 African American women engineering faculty who represented a widerange of roles in the academy. The day-long workshop consisted of multiple sessions in whichparticipants shared their insights, challenges, and promising solutions. This paper includes the results ofqualitative and quantitative data collected from a focus group with a subset of participants, observationsmade by
and graduate students through their engagement in laboratories,discussion sections, and mentoring activities. It is essential to train graduate students in effectivepedagogy, including teaching methods that promote student-centered learning, reflective teachingpractices, and engagement of a broad diversity of students. This investment in graduate studenttraining pays dividends in an enhanced learning environment for students now and in the future asgraduate students go on to careers that often include teaching and mentoring as core skillsets.This paper details an instructional improvement project targeting a pedagogy course for first-yeargraduate students in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at a large, public, research
5th year negatively predicts completion. Since all students in this program are required to TA,those who TA in early years may have less research responsibility and more time to devote toassociated TA duties without sacrificing any other tasks. However, as doctoral students gainresearch responsibility and feel pressure to make progress on dissertation work, having a TAcould increase their workload unaligned with their projects and inhibit progress, delayinggraduation.In contrast, having an RA assignment or fellowship may allow doctoral students to fully focus onresearch, as shown when RA and fellowship are positive predictors of persistence andcompletion. Students funded on both RAs and fellowships develop important researchcompetencies and

provide programs and spaces where minority studentscan foster higher self-confidence and positivity towards engineering.IntroductionReducing the gender gap in educational outcomes requires better recognizing the systemicbarriers that exist in higher education. Individual, group, institutional, and societal factors playan essential role in maintaining the gap in women's college attainment, particularly inengineering. According to the National Girls Collaborative Project [1], young women havesimilar abilities in mathematics and sciences but differ in their confidence, interest, andbelongingness to science-related fields, compared to young men. Historically, engineering hasbeen framed and perceived as a male-dominated discipline, emphasizing traits
is insufficient to address Latinx student needs, especially atHSIs[10], [11], [12]. A 2017 paper [13] outlines a literature review of innovations and interventionsthat intend to improve the outcomes for areas of study based in mathematics. The pedagogicalapproaches discussed in the reviewed literature included active learning, hands-on projects,mentoring programs, use of technology, one-to-one help, and peer study groups. The paper notedthat there is relatively little literature on rigorous evaluations of the interventions. There is a need todevise innovative math remediation methods that are more engaging, effective, and less costly tostudents. In this National Science Foundation funded project, engineering and math faculty from thelarge R1
engineering and science who have been identified asneeding additional math instruction are placed in a co-requisite section of a pre-calculus course,Math 126E (3 credits) pre-calculus with the co-requisite component Math 26B (2 credits atUNLV and 3-credits at CSN). In 26B students are expected to study concepts that will help themcatch up with the needed math to perform well in Math 126 E (Pre-calculus). Thus, in a co-requisite pre-calculus course, students spend an additional two hours with the instructor with theintent to remediate Algebra. Current literature review of innovations and interventions thatintend to improve the outcomes in mathematics points to active learning, hands-on projects,comic book-like interventions, mentoring programs, use of

fill these gaps, the present study aims to evaluate the influence of participation ofstudents in automation, robots, and coding clubs on their academic excellence and preferencestoward STEM fields as careers in the future.4. Methodology The STEM catalyst cohort model is best suited for this project because it aims to providehands-on training, information, and new learning to marginalized students. Middle and high schoolstudents will be grouped in cohorts in this club. Each cohort will be supervised by a competentteacher with teaching and working experience in STEM fields. In each cohort, mentors will giveequal attention to all students and they guide them to their particular area of interest in STEMfields. In the club, game-based
].This work in reconnecting culture and STEM through practices and identity is the beginning ofthe (re)membering, but there is still a long way to go to (re)connect these identities.(Re)membering requires knowledge on the spirituality behind these practices, knowledge whichcolonization has deliberately devalued and forced us to forget [5], [14]. To remember lostIndigenous ways of knowing in the USA, I suggest as valuable the research question, “What didSTEM look like before colonization and who/where are the holders of this knowledge?”Through different means, researchers described what Indigenous STEM practices looked likebefore contact [14], [15], [16]. One can see, for example, Indigenous STEM projects, such as thetrap system for tidal pulse

The result ofthis first ITL activity is an Excel spreadsheet with courses and corresponding equity data.To analyze these data, we relied on institutional dashboard data developed and supported by the universityand available campus-wide, an example of commitment to closing equity gaps using evidence and aprocess that is sustainable. If this type of tool is not available in your institution, we suggest building one,and Power BI is a wonderful option for doing so. With a data dashboard tool, we can easily find pass ratedata by course, filter on student demographics, and
earlier study was set up with afocus on diverse students and diverse student experiences, which provided a valuable entry intohow different students experienced engineering education through their encounters with boththeir peers and faculty. These encounters, both good and bad, shaped what choices they madeabout their education; whether or not to stay in engineering; and if they left, what other major tochoose based on the investments they made in their coursework so far. We discovered otherthings through this project, such as the importance of peer support groups; how peers contributedto learning; and how students learned to navigate challenges by choosing the right instructors,courses, and majors. In general, the project documented what student

In a senior-level Unit Operations and ProcessSimulation course for chemical engineers, students are asked to take a holistic approach tochemical plant design. However, previous iterations of this course did not ask students to considerthe implications of building them: Who is making the decision to build these plants, and why arethey doing so? Where are these chemical plants being built? Are they safe for the workers and thesurrounding neighborhoods? Who gets to design these plants, and who will be maintaining theseplants? If there's a
