toquestions such as "Who am I ?" at the beginning of the course provides the opportunity for suchpractice. We also recommend that students critique each other's concept maps. The opportunityto offer peer feedback further exposes students to the rules and expectations for conceptmapping. This scaffolding approach is expected to improve the quality of the pre- and post-evaluation of the concept maps during module implementation.Furthermore, reflective writing is a useful tool for having students reflect on their personalexperiences while surprisingly teaching students empathy. The act of looking beyond their ownexperiences to the experiences of various stakeholders appears to have created opportunities forstudents to consider broader social and

The objectives for the workshops are accomplished by the following activities: 1. The students joined American Toastmasters or similar organizations which assists them with soft skills and helps them with their writing skills and public speaking. 2. Students received job training through practical lab assignments and real life applications. The students then present discoveries and are evaluated by their peers, industry, faculty, and advisory board. 3. Increase students’ technical

To achieve thesegoals, the course curriculum emphasized career exploration, collaboration with peers, writtenreflections, and diversity and global learning opportunities.We identified with Yosso’s theory of “navigational capital,” which captures the knowledge andskills of underrepresented or underprivileged students that enable them to navigate institutionsand communities where a dominant culture prevails 27. Rather than taking a deficit approach (i.e.minority students need to be fixed), this study focuses on cultivating the strengths and assets offirst-generation and URM students to guide them toward success in engineering.

Exam formats and expectations aredifferent than what students experienced in high school and vary from class to class. Engineeringmajors report spending a greater amount of time preparing for classes and exams [2]. Manystudents new to college report that they don’t know how to study and prepare for college exams[3], anecdotally reporting that in high school it was sufficient to simply read over notes. Mostnew students are also still building their support network of peers and may solely be studying ontheir own. Additionally, in many courses exams can comprise a significant portion of the finalgrade. Doing poorly on an exam can also have a

haste to complete the exercises. The clarity of text-based exercises can often be an issue. Not every student interprets instructions in the same way. Students read and interpret instructions at different speeds. This results in challenges keeping the class moving through material together. This can exacerbate a weaker student’s understanding of critical concepts as they rush in an attempt to keep pace with their peers. Instructors and TAs are often by-standers when students are working on these exercises. In many cases they are relegated to assisting students understand the instructions rather than engaging them in deepening their understanding of the concepts.

We evaluated pre-test performance and conceptual growth using avalidated concept inventory [1]. Students also completed a pre/post measure of their abilities toco-regulate their work as members of a group. We found that students showed improved co-regulation abilities, performed lowest on the individually completed quiz, and that the studentswho began with the lowest scores on the concept inventory had comparable outcomes to theirhigher-scoring peers.

For these reasons, there is a steep decline in the number of Black and Hispanicstudents graduating with a STEM degree from Baccalaureate institutions [7]. Classroom culture is shown to have a significant impact on the success of Black andHispanic students in higher education and in STEM in particular. Specifically, when Black andHispanic students feel like they have learning and supportive spaces to develop their STEMidentities, they are more likely than their peers who do not have access to such spaces toacademic persist in the STEM field [8].
