Survey was selected as the primary tool dueto the opportunity to garner mass responses from students, and the ease of outreach.Development of the survey was carried out by implementation of the following steps: 1. Selection Criteria: Based on the Key Assessment Parameters and the hypotheses to be tested, the selection criteria for the questions to be included were set, allowing a tighter focus on the development of the research plan. 2. Question Generation: Brainstorming and researching existing surveys were used to develop a pool of closed questions for the survey. These were revised and edited to trim the questions to a manageable amount, with target duration of

Although personal messages of encouragement and reflectionopportunities were practiced in this thermodynamics course, our plan is to be more intentionalabout both going forward. In summary, students and instructors in this thermodynamics coursedemonstrated impressive resiliency during the pandemic-induced shift to 100% online classes,and lessons which were learned in the e-Learning environment can improve post-pandemicengineering instruction.References[1] WHO, “United States of America: WHO Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Dashboard,” World Health

A convenience sample of students wasutilized. Specifically, interview sessions were only scheduled with teachers who indicated thattheir classrooms were available to participate during a specific one-week time frame. Prior to thescheduled interview session, the research team created a class list and noted students from whomparental and student consent had been obtained. At the interview session, students were selectedfrom this list making

These planning and financial policies essentially devalued properties in high-riskareas and limited access to financial resources for residents of these areas. What resulted waslimited development of amenities (e.g., parks, landscaping, and sidewalks) and excessdevelopment of major infrastructure (e.g., freeways, major arterials, and industrial facilities) inthe devalued areas.

However, evenwith these changes, the department continued to see some students and faculty, specifically fromunderrepresented identities, in senior design teams experiencing discrimination. These recurringincidents called for more actions related to the awareness of diversity, equity, and inclusionissues, which could eventually lead to a more diverse and inclusive culture beyond theclassroom, and into industry.Beyond department wide initiative, there were a few conditions in place that created anappropriate environment for this relatively

We are also planning to explore optionsto integrate these lessons in remote summer camps or after-school programs. While the currentpandemic-induced remote education situation will not endure indefinitely, we believe that theseeducational materials and approach may be useful for remote instruction during “snow days” andwill also provide an ongoing opportunity to offer EE-centric STEM outreach to high schoolstudents in remote and rural areas who are often left out of university-based STEM outreachevents and the many STEM events

According to Espinosa25, students currently active in STEM were motivated bytheir parents to participate in STEM-related extracurricular events outside of the school. Parentswho motivated their children were also involved and successful in STEM careers themselves.This seemed to be a key element in encouraging students to clarify their ambitions and plans,with parents aiding their children to pursue meaningful career opportunities.

The groups were created taking intoaccount the diversity of student prior educational experience. One of the major concerns that instructors have about active teaching, or any instructionalmethod other than the traditional lecture format, is regarding content coverage. Thus, it isextremely important to carefully design classroom activities to ensure the completion of theentire curriculum for this course.

The contingentapproach has some similarities with bricolage [39] or process of creating meaning through theresources available at hand. Levi-Strauss contrasted the bricoleur against the engineer whodevelops new tools and organizes resources according to a well thought through plan with adefined end. While the engineer’s work is precise with elements of permanence, the bricoleurcombines elements that already exist in ways they were not intended for.Another way to frame these two approaches is that methods based on necessity are causal whilethose based in contingency are teleological

Men who are less qualified, both academically andtechnically, are hired, while some intelligent and well-prepared women go unemployedor are forced to work outside their fields of expertise. High academic achievement isviewed by Iranian women as a kind of insurance policy to make discrimination lesslikely, or at least more difficult. However, not all discrimination against women isintentional, as aptly noted by Perez [36], who extensively catalogues the ways in whichwomen are missing from data sets used for planning and decision-making. Defying family and societal norms, which deem women less capable than men,is another motivating factor for Iranian women. Discriminatory employment laws add towomen’s challenges, but even without
