[But]one of the reasons I was hesitant to switch [out of] engineering [was] the idea that I could justkeep my bachelor's and be very marketable after I graduated, being a female, a minority, [I’d]get a decent job just from that with a pretty decent salary. I just wanted to get my bachelor's andthen go into the workforce. But with epidemiology, if I made the switch, I knew I'd have to get mymaster's as well and possibly my PhD. [So] my plan right now [is] doing the four plus oneprogram to get my MPH.[Now that I’m in public health], it doesn't feel isolating. I feel like you see a lot more women ofcolor.

underrepresented in engineering.Research Plan/MethodsThe participants in this work-in-process research study are undergraduate students in onlineengineering courses. One overarching learning goal emphasized in this interventional study isthat students develop proficiency in using collaborative approaches to understand engineeringconcepts. Their engagement in peer learning strategies prepare them for professional settings thatrequire communication and leadership skills. As most online course environments are siloed innature, students engaged in the collaborative learning had to employ listening and teamworkskills to carefully address the peer led activities. The research measures the qualitatively differentresponses as students adjust to small group

The use of MOM question databanks is still underdevelopment in multiple courses.Comparison to Canvas quizzes: MOM has all of the benefits of Canvas quizzes, but addsadditional useful features.

Mathematics placement, given its foundational role inengineering curricula, serves as the centerpiece of this advising model.

By integratingtheoretical concepts with practical applications, students gain a comprehensive understanding ofhow water dynamics operate in natural and controlled environments.The concept of displacement plays a pivotal role in water height measurement, illustrating howthe addition of solid materials such as sand, gravel, or beads affects water levels. When thesematerials are introduced into a confined volume of water, the water is displaced, causing its levelto rise. This principle is rooted in Archimedes' Principle, which states that the volume of waterdisplaced is equal to the volume of the

This encourages the players to plan their movements carefully and avoid backtracking unnecessarily. ii.
