food insecurity[1]. The rate of food insecurity in Texas is higher than in most other states. According to the USDepartment of Agriculture (USDA), Texas is among the nine highest states of food insecuritywith a prevalence rate of 13.3 percent. The situation is more severe in some of Texas’s ruralcommunities. Due to a lack of money and other resources, households with low and very lowfood security have difficulty in providing enough food for their family members at some timeduring the year. Food insecurity is closely related to poor health among children, adults, and theelderly [2]. Multiple studies have shown that limited access to adequate food leads to impairedcognition and behavioral and mental health problems among children [3-5]. Food

These factorsbear relevance on curricular field, institutional sensitivity among others. For these reasons, itis necessary to rethink training institutions so they may become a welcoming, respectfulspace that favors full inclusion and development for women. The present work seeks toidentify factors that enginering students themselves consider relevant and necessary toinclude in a School of Engineering, to allow promoting a safe and inclusive gender equalenvironment.

In order to help accomplish this worthy but formidable goal,the council recommends a strategy to increase recruitment and retention of STEM students in thefirst two years of their undergraduate education. In fact, the PCAST report states that increasingthe national retention rate of STEM majors from 40% to 50% would produce 750,000 more STEMgraduates, effectively accomplishing three-fourths of the council’s goal.Significant initiatives have been ongoing that aim to improve the quality of undergraduate STEMeducation and learning experiences. The initiatives vary on the levels of national, multi-institutioncollaborations, corporate, and individual campuses [2-6]. A

ABET has consistently listed “an ability to communicateeffectively” as a foundational student outcome [1] , and surveys indicate that engineering facultyrecognize the importance of students being able to communicate solutions and designssuccessfully [2]. However, writing education is often only addressed within courses like seniorcapstone and general education English courses because engineering faculty run up againstroadblocks such as the time commitment required to set up a new writing assignment, the timeneeded to provide valuable feedback, and students

between what instructors want students to know (course goals orobjectives) and their understanding. As a result, an alternative method of assessing student work,standards-based grading (SBG), is becoming more popular in the engineering education field toprovide students with rich feedback on how well they are meeting course standards [1] . ThoughSBG more explicitly links student proficiency and course goals, its effectiveness still relies onstudent initiative to read and internalize the SBG feedback. This is a not a trivial task. Bothanecdotal educational wisdom and a handful of studies suggest that students do not incorporatefeedback [2] , especially when paired with a grade [3]. Additionally, there can be studenthesitance in accepting SBG
