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

Data collected from two of the coursesin this project, Enhancing Mathematics with STEM and Engineering in the K-12 Classroom,included participant reflections, focus groups, microteaching lesson plans, and field notes.Through a case study approach and grounded theory analysis, themes of self-efficacy, activelearning supports, and social justice teaching emerged.

c Society for Engineering Education, 2021Abstract The aim of this project is to engage students with course material related to environmentaljustice principles using anti-racist pedagogy. 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

Mindstorms in theirstudents’ education, but encountered different barriers and constraints when trying to supportthose values. In common, they valued Mindstorms for two general reasons: 1) its role insupporting project-based learning; 2) its potential role in shaping students’ futures, specificallythe possibility that they might choose to pursue engineering, robotics, or another STEM field.The perceived additive value of Mindstorms to their schools is its support for hands-on, project-based learning. While sometimes this is framed by the fact that Mindstorms is a toy thatreferences popular youth culture, the larger focus was on its role in changing the content andstructure of instruction. For example, Jill compares lessons with Mindstorms to her
something new; 3) shifting norms of leaders involved in entrepreneurial-minded action; and 4) developing teaching methods with a storytelling focus in engineering and science educa- tion.

Whileconducting the interview, he attempted to maintain a neutral posture but his background may haveinfluenced the probing questions that he chose to ask and the topics that he chose to clarify. During dataanalysis, he was especially careful not to project his personal feelings onto the data and to accurately portraythe views of the participants to the best of his abilities. Once the data were coded, all three authors met tolisten to the coded audio data, identify emergent codes, and to discuss the findings. The three authors havedifferent academic roles (non-tenure-track faculty, tenured faculty, and administration) which strengthenedthe data analysis.III. ResultsThe
