Rather, to motivate this research I rely on three anecdotalobservations I made during the 2022 pilot of the STEMcx Environmental Justice Internship.These anecdotes will make clear the critical need for phenomenological exploration of theexperiences of Black and underrepresented students in out-of-classroom engineering and scienceinternships and other pre-college work experiences.During the summer 2022 pilot environmental justice internship cohort, I had many opportunitiesto engage with the interns in informal

K-12 students are provided with tutoring, STEMcompetition coaching, and other support while Ambassadors learn essential professionalism,communication, and leadership skills. A pilot-scale study with ten schools within the ShelbyCounty Schools district during the 2015-16 academic year showed that students working withAmbassadors achieved math performance goals at rates of 12% (middle school) and 30%(elementary) higher than that of their peers [27]. It also revealed increased confidence incommunication and leadership abilities and STEM self-efficacy ratings from the Ambassadors.Urban STEM scholars were offered the opportunity to join the STEM Ambassador program butwere not required

However, when failing to solve a complex problem, students often fail toprecisely evaluate what component knowledge they lack or what skills they need. This canhinder the student’s metacognitive regulation of their learning progress, lower their self-efficacy,and stifle their motivation. Learning activities and assessments that explicitly communicate andscaffold students’ learning progress across the different levels of learning outcomes will providestudents with a better opportunity to plan and adjust their learning plan accordingly.Scaffolding is the process that aims to deconstruct a complex assignment into

Astudy [41] conducted at Louisiana Tech University explored the impact of backgroundknowledge on the success of freshman engineering students, as measured by grades andgraduation rates. The author acknowledges the limitation of analyzing data from a singleuniversity, and also notes that the focused examination of a specific context provided a nuancedunderstanding that might be obscured by institutional variation.Collectively, these studies underscore the potential benefit of a nuanced approach that considersinstitutional differences in the context

Additionally, educators and mentors should assess students' skills, prior knowledge,and experiences and use that information to tailor their teaching strategies to individual needs.The strengths students display such as resilience and persistence are often expected personalattributes, however, as [14] would contend, they are attributes that educators need to help buildup and support.Educators that learn about their student’s strengths have an opportunity to encourage deeperlearning, heightened levels of self-efficacy, and persistence in engineering programs that lead tothe
underrepresentedstudents still face despite ongoing intervention measures [6]. These obstacles include lateexposure to STEM career pathways, overrepresentation of historically underrepresented studentsin under resourced school districts, implicit biases in the educational system, socio-economicbarriers to participation in extracurricular activities, a lack of easily accessibly STEM rolemodels, historically unwelcoming academic culture in STEM disciplines, and low perceptions ofthe aptitude and drive by educators along their educational [7,8].Past research has provided evidence that intentionally introducing black students into STEMfrom an early age can increase their motivation, self-efficacy, and perseverance in STEM field[9]. Additionally, culturally relevant
engineering and students’ expected success inengineering were found to decrease over the first year of study for first-year engineeringstudents, especially for women students [19]. Reasons for these feelings could be related toidealistic expectations of college or engineering in general, more difficult assignments thanexperienced in high school, or comparing to peers in a high-achieving peer group. In addition,students’ self-efficacy decreased over the first year of study, particularly for women students.However, both men and women experienced similar decreases in their value-related beliefs ofengineering [19].Importantly, researchers suggest that the potential impacts of the decrease in these expectanciesand value-related constructs on students

was one of few studies to examine whether astructures themed PBL exercise boosts student performance on textbook statics problems. Priorstudies [1, 2, 5] have focused mainly on students’ analytical and design self-efficacy. Our studyadds to prior research by connecting the PBL experience to improved understanding of specificstatics concepts like two-force members, action-reaction pairs, and internal loads.There are several strengths and some limitations to our study. First, we used a robust, mixed-methods approach that allowed us to measure qualitative and quantitative changes in students’structural analysis skills. One limitation of the study is that we did not determine causality; inother words, we cannot definitively claim that the PBL

The use of a learning management system (LMS) has been shown to mitigatechallenges associated with disruptions, prompting researchers to better understand the degree towhich LMS features are used and how they can be used more effectively. This study wasconducted to discover how instructors utilized a LMS before, during, and after a disruption.Findings from this study can be used by policy makers and educators to plan how best to useLMS features given
