These needsare greatly impacted by systems of social oppression, which disproportionately affect ourstudents. We also recognize that these systems of oppression are active within the universityitself, and even within our own classrooms. To build STEM educational systems that prioritizeequity and justice, we require the development of the critical consciousness [see 8] necessary forfaculty to begin to understand how systems of oppression are reproduced, albeit oftenunintentionally, within their own classrooms.

Model for Academic Performance in Engineering StudentsAbstractThis research article proposes developing a predictive model to identify, at an early stage,students at risk of low academic performance. Academic performance is a critical indicator inhigher education, essential for student and professional success, and has been extensivelystudied due to its impact on retention and timely graduation. Socio-demographic factors suchas socioeconomic status, family environment, work responsibilities, study habits, financialsupport, and psychological factors have been shown to influence student performance andattrition rates significantly. While progress has been made using linear regression models,recent years have seen the incorporation of advanced

However, in construction, site andcode constraints make this practice less common, although it can be argued that constructionrenovation projects must fully research and document the existing design before proposingchanges to it. Nonetheless, terminology can become an obstacle in a multidisciplinary setting.Another difference between sectors is in how design methods are applied. At a high level,construction projects tend to be very similar, i.e. in the design of a building, foundations, floors,walls and roofs are all present. However, at a detailed level, construction projects all essentiallyunique, owing to differences in local soil

Another goal of the faculty is to ensure the studentshave a positive experience in each course. STEM disciplines are traditionally taught bydisseminating information and content, making them particularly fit for lecture [5], but in thecase of this course, the instructors wanted to gage the students’ opinions regarding the evolvingopen-ended lab approach and evaluate how it impacted their learning. To assess these goals,students complete course evaluations after every semester, which assess for trends andopportunities to improve the course.
