Swail et al.1 mentions that the threeelements to address in order to best support students’ persistence and achievement are cognitive,social, and institutional factors. The interventions address all elements to some extent and arepart of an NSF IUSE grant (2015-2018) to improve STEM retention.The summer 2015 orientation was attended by 17 freshmen level students in Physics,Engineering, Engineering Technology, and Computer Science. The orientation was in additionto “Bobcat Preview”, a separate mandatory one-week length freshman orientation that

When coding for attributes, we considered perceived gender, collaboration, andself-identification. For profession, we coded the type of work depicted or described in thedrawing, e.g. designer, builder, train conductor, etc. Coding for activities involved taggingimages or words related to action, e.g. laboratory work, engineering design process, drawings,etc. The following section describes the implementation of the module and the results fromanalyzing the drawings.

transition from thetraditional physical laboratory to the online virtual laboratory. Before the pandemic, we alreadygradually adopted more and more virtual labs. Students log in to a virtual environment,consisting of one or more virtual machines, to perform hands-on exercises. They do not need togo to an on-campus lab at a fixed time. Students can do the virtual labs at any place and at anytime. Virtualization makes it possible for students to do some labs which are otherwiseunavailable in a traditional environment. In many courses with a lab component, F2F sectionsand DE sections shared the same virtual lab environment already, making the transition fromface-to-face to online easier.As described in papers previously [3]-[4], different virtual lab
