All data collectionoccurred during fall 2020 – winter 2022 with asynchronous online learning as the only option atall three sites due to the respective colleges’ operations plans amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.During the study, each instructor taught at least one control section and one intervention section,some ultimately teaching multiple sections with each condition over the study duration. For theintervention sections, we provided instructors with a scaled down take-home version of a seriesof models we initially developed as a basis for active learning in face-to-face instruction [10].We reported last year on modifications we
course was taught in Summer 2021. Out of 17 students,9 were non-engineering majors, 5 were different engineering majors, and 3 were nuclearengineering majors. The students registered were from a wide range of majors including history,philosophy, plant science, as well as several engineering disciplines. The second offering in Fall2021 had a similar composition, with a slightly higher percentage of nuclear engineering majors.This was expected since the recommended semester-by-semester plan for nuclear engineeringmajors includes ENU1000 in the fall semester.Instructor ReflectionsWhile it may initially seem that the wide range of student backgrounds and interests may presenta pedagogical problem, this did not turn out to be the case.

This is particularly important for first generation or lowerincome students who may be depending on timely payments to cover living expenses. Our granthad also budgeted funds for on-campus housing at OU, as well as a meal allowance for allstudent participants. Since the students were working remotely, we converted those payments todirect payments to the students to help cover some of their housing and living expenses.Additional logistical issues included creating OU computer accounts and providing VPN accessahead of time for each student participant so they could
differences in major selection.However, Morgan, Gelbgiser, and Weeden’s (2013) research identified the occupationalplans of high school seniors as strong predictors of initial college major selection. Theauthors also found the association between occupational plans and college majorselection is not attributable to work–family orientation or academic preparation. Theresearch pointed to the importance of occupational plans formed in adolescence forunderstanding the gender differences in college major and for policies intended to createa workforce that is representative and rewarding for both genders in all areas of STEM.Design of the studyTo design the research survey, four previous studies and associated surveys wereconsulted: Kuechler & Simkin
five times. Rotation consumes somewhat less energy than linear motion because theformer requires a light load on each of four wheel motors but the latter draws much larger powerlevels on only two motors at a time. The engineer team realized that success would breed greaterrequirements. They therefore used a test case of maximum forward acceleration for 20 yards,then immediate maximum reverse acceleration for 20 yards, returning to the start point. Thiswas repeated for 15 minutes without pause. Though this is more than is possible while band isperforming, it serves as a realizable worst case for this year's planned marching bandcoreography. The batteries were then selected and configured to meet this challenge.The system passed this power and

Studentsgenerally felt that understanding the concept of limit was important, as shown in their responsesto question 1. They also felt that learning the topic using visual examples (question 2), hands-onactivities (question 3), and in-class exercises (questions 4 and 5) was important, while thegeneral opinions on learning through methods such as traditional presentations (question 7) andreading the relevant textbook material (question 8) were more mixed. We plan to present theexamples to a larger group of students, and their feedback will be assessed using more rigorous,formative, and summative assessments

Each period ofdevelopment has brought changes in the development processes employed for software engineering,starting with early on water fall processes, evolving through the plan driven methodologies of the1980’s-2000’s, and now into the current agile processes that evolved from the Agile Manifesto of 2001[4].

need forindividuals with STEM degrees has led to large growth in STEM undergraduate studentnumbers. Post-recession STEM degrees awarded have increased by 43% from 2010 to 2019 [2].This need for STEM degrees is reflected in the strategic plan for the College of Engineering atthe University of Kentucky with a goal of adding nearly 43% more students to the Collegebetween 2019 and 2025. The success of transfer students through thoughtful and intentionaltransfer pathways is one way to diversify reach and obtain enrollment targets of the Universityand meet STEM occupational demand.The growth and need for STEM majors are well documented. This growth has not necessarilybeen experienced by underrepresented groups in STEM majors. Despite an increase in

The student ambassadors were given broad objectives to improve the college community and educate the student population about diversity, equity, and inclusion. An initial planned project of the ambassadors was to organize a DEI Takeover Week during spring of 2020. This project had to be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The student ambassadors took this as an opportunity to instead develop programs focused on equity and inclusion issues that arose due to the pandemic and the transition to

We interviewed professionals inthe industry and the university to obtain their perceptions of activities or initiatives that willincrease the percentages of women in mining fields. The study consisted of semi-structuredinterviews with professionals to learn how they entered their professions and what can be done toincrease the participation of women in the mining industry. The interviewees were primarily 1)mining industry professionals, 2) academic program managers, and 3) part-time academicians andindustry workers. The study results yielded initiatives and actions to be implemented by theindustry, academia, and joint efforts. The action plans will promote the integration of women intothe

Moreover, a PhD pathways panel and several professional development seminars on Graduate School and the research process were successfully organized to motivate students to pursue a research career. To facilitate communication, our site adopted multiple software tools (slack, google calendar, zoom, and moodle). An independent evaluator evaluated our
