address this need, thisstudy examined the relationship between student cognitive engagement in iSTEM and itshypothesized predictors: curricular opportunities for STEM content integration, engagement inmultiple solution development, agency in STEM practices, evidence-based reasoning, datapractices, and collaboration. The study is guided by Roehrig et al.’s (2021) Detailed ConceptualFramework of Integrated STEM and Moore et al.'s (2014) framework for Quality K-12Engineering Education. We utilized multinomial logistic regression (MLR) analysis due to thepolytomous categorical distribution of the outcome variable. This study used classroom videodata from previous work that examined the presence of critical features of K-12 iSTEM. Scoresusing a novel
are asked to reflect on and discuss where they haveencountered a similar problem in their home or community and are invited to discuss and sharetheir ideas using whichever language(s) are most useful to them. For example, students mightdiscuss: Where do they see plastic polluting the environment? Have they had challenges crossingan intersection as a walker, biker, or skateboarder? How much light do they like in their room asthey go to sleep? By inviting students to reflect on related experiences, students can approach aproblem, even a new problem, with a focus on what knowledge and skills they bring that caninform their investigations and solutions.Develop familiarity with materials, tasks, and terminology. Students’ background knowledge
suggestions that engineering faculty members’ beliefs about knowledge and aboutteaching and learning may be linked to the difficulties in improving engineering education(Montfort et al., 2014). Our research question is: how do engineering faculty members at a singleinstitution describe good teaching?

Jacob Marszalek Kathleen O’Shea University of Missouri-Kansas City Dan Justice Metropolitan Community College-Penn ValleyAbstractIn this paper, we explore the lived pandemic experiences of civil and mechanical engineeringstudents participating in a S-STEM scholarship program during the 2020-2021 academic year.The program, launched in 2020, is designed to facilitate the transfer of students from acommunity college to an urban-serving research university co-located in a Midwestern city.Findings reveal how the pandemic both challenged students and illuminated resiliency andsources of on- and off-campus support. A description of how findings have informed programgoals and implementation is

college degrees awarded in STEM fields are much smaller in comparison to othercountries such as China2. While there was a steady rise in undergraduate enrollment in science andengineering (S&E) from 2000 (243,500 students) to 377,410 in 2014, this is in stark contrast toChina where in 2000 the undergraduate enrollment in S&E was 281,270 and in 2014 it was1,447,3303. In 2014, 40 percent of bachelor's degrees earned by men and 29% earned by womenwere in STEM fields. The engineering degrees were only 4.4% of all the undergraduate degreesawarded in 2014 as compared to for example, European countries (13%) or Asian countries (23%),according to a report by the National Academy of Engineering4.President’s Council of Advisors on Science and

: Undergraduate Academic Policy Trends across Institutions over the Last Thirty Years INTRODUCTIONMIDFIELD (Multiple Institution Database for Investigating Engineering LongitudinalDevelopment) is a database, made up of multiple higher education institutions across the U.S.,which is intended to allow for the easy comparison of the institutions. The MIDFIELD databaseincludes data from the late 1980’s until present, which encompasses the SAT/ACT scores,students’ GPA and major for each semester, students’ attained degrees, year graduated, and otherpieces of data. However, in order to better understand the differences across institutions, anunderstanding of academic policies should be conducted
