This tutoring is generally capped at two hours per week with an option to extend beyondthat in cases where more is deemed urgent.Overall, the delivery of tutoring provides Tutor Fellows experience in communicating that servesthem in their future careers – whether it is specifically in education or not. It is often touted inletters of recommendation that, while seemingly different from the exact job they seek, TutorFellows have experience creating a safe environment, building a rapport, understanding thestigmas and inequalities that a person may be experiencing, and being empathetic. These arecharacteristics that go across boundaries of discipline.Another detail to share is that while the tutoring is specifically in STEM, the Tutor

This will need collaborationfrom petroleum and natural gas engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering,environmental engineering, and many other engineering disciplines. Challenging today’s first-year engineers to create safe, cost-efficient, and environmentally friendly oil derricks is not onlya way to introduce students to a task they may face in their future engineering careers, but alsoan opportunity for them to think about alternative solutions as future leaders. Therefore, it isnecessary for multidisciplinary collaboration amongst engineering, business, local
assessment. Dibbs’ manuscript was interesting; she studied 8students who were required to repeat calculus at the beginning of their STEM careers, and whoexperienced formative feedback the second time. Through interviews, Dibbs found that participantsidentified three primary reasons for their success the second time around: (1) processing their initialfailure, (2) having a better instructor, and (3) participating in formative assessments. In her analysis, shefound that formative assessment is what caused the cognitive and behavioral engagement benefits. Thesestudents later succeeded in STEM, with 6 eventually receiving a math major or minor.In summary, effective use of formative assessment has the potential to high-information feedback thathelps

90% of my students (N=87) strongly agreedthat sharing my teaching philosophy is critical. Additionally, underrepresented students wereempowered and archived more than half the “A”s in my courses. In conclusion, since equal is notalways fair, instructors must make their expectations exceptionally clear to ensure that anystudent can succeed and earn an “A.” I believe it is time for educators to polish their teachingphilosophy, create appealing visual models, and share them with their students.IntroductionDeveloping a Teaching Philosophy Statement (TPS) is central in any academic career [1]. TPSdeclares the educator’s approach to teaching and learning. Creating a teaching philosophyengages educators in metacognitive reflection on what they
study, and success for first-semester students acclimating to college and learning how toself-advocate for accommodations. These basic modifications of breaking down large projectsand documents, and providing direction have been met with positive responses. Incontinuation, these modifications remain in all sections of the first-semester and second-semester engineering classes with more directed instructions during the project work times.Recent modifications due to online and hybrid learning, include making the slides available atleast 48 hours before class, and recorded lecture videos available after class.

implementation of unconventional aerospace concepts, mightnaturally increase diversity in the field. Furthermore, there are many factors contributing to whether or nota student may choose to pursue a STEM-related career. Research suggests that early math achievement,math self-efficacy beliefs, and early exposure to STEM-related subjects are all indicative of whetherstudents enroll in STEM majors. While math achievement is a significant indicator of a student’s interestin engineering related fields, early exposure to STEM is one of the most influential factors in whetherstudents continue to seriously pursue related fields in their later academic career.The intent of this paper is to show that early STEM exposure, along with the implementation

Self-efficacy refers toan individual’s belief that they can do certain things [2], in this case the belief that they cansucceed in engineering. Studies have found that self-efficacy correlates with both academicperformance [5] and persistence [6]; research has found that while some aspects of women’sself-efficacy in engineering have increased over the years, their self-efficacy tends to decreaseover the course of their academic career [7]. Two questions from the survey are included here inFigures 8 and 9. The first question relates to

These happenings build upon the seminal work of Baillie [4], Riley [5], and their jointwork with their collaborators [6]. This has sprung a series of engineering and social justice-related or -infused courses, seminar series, and workshops across engineering campuses such asthose at the University of San Diego [7], Colorado School of Mines [8], Purdue [9], Stanford[10], the National Academies [11], and others. The most recent illustration is a series of global,humanitarian, and peace engineering programs that

TheSociety of Women Engineers (SWE) chapter had recently created the cleverly named SWE++program where members of SWE teach programming to local 7th grade girls who had notpreviously been exposed to computers or the world of programming. This outreach puts femalecollege students in teaching positions in front of their younger counterparts. This works to shiftimplicit gendered stereotypes that can hinder a pathway to a STEM-related career [6]. SWE++transitioned to online in Spring 2020 and hosted weekly Zoom sessions. Students from theSTEM Outreach class supported these SWE++ lessons by joining the virtual sessions and goinginto Zoom breakout rooms to work with smaller

Note that in addition to gaining technical knowledge, the students also learned team collaboration, which is essential not only in course and capstone projects, but also in their future career.(3) Hands-on and real-world oriented: The summer program encouraged the students to solve problems that are practical, meaningful, and with real-world implications. With the help of the faculty mentors, the students had the chance to tinker and dabble various prototypes until the perfection of the final product is reached.(4) It was offered online instead of face-to-face: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our campus was

material is consistent with their future career (Wigfield, 1994; Wigfield &Eccles, 2000). The interest component is based on how students perceive course topics andinstructional methods, interesting (Hidi & Ann Renninger, 2006; Renninger, Hidi, Krapp, &Renninger, 2014). Further, the success component is formed on expectancy for success(Wigfield, 1994; Wigfield & Eccles, 2000). This component reflects students’ self-efficacy aboutthe coursework (Bandura, 1986). The caring component is based on students believes thatinstructors care about their success and well-being (Noddings, 1992).Motivation can be perceived as a student’s intention and engagement in learning as student’saction (Christenson, Reschly, & Wylie, 2012).
