that teams affected with either situation were provided appropriate accommodations.o Prototyping v/s mass production: It was observed that students struggled with differentiating between a manufacturing plan for a functional prototype versus a manufacturing plan for mass production. This might have been because students’ knowledge of manufacturing processes grows during their time in ManP and they may be developing manufacturing plans without a full understanding of manufacturing.6. Conclusions and RecommendationsThis paper presented the design of a two-semester design-and-build interdisciplinary project. Theproject was conducted as part of a two-course sequence in an engineering curriculum. Thesecond course in the sequence has a lab

such as fugacity and kinetics, onetechnique to make the theoretical challenges more approachable is to present the concepts morevisually, given the general preference of students in STEM for visual learning. As such, thisresearch study focuses on the creation, compilation, and analysis of chemical engineering comicsgeared towards K-12 students. Comics have become increasingly more prevalent as visual learningtools, with a long history of their educational potential dating back to the 1940’s, so they could beused to help guide more students into chemical engineering without the stigma of the field beingtoo complex.A series of comics was created displaying how chemical engineering is found in everyday commonapplications, including chocolate and

area’s urbanicity and are less common in rural areas [39, p. 201], [40]. In agreement withthis, Saw and Agger [41] found that high schools in rural and small-town settings have less APmath and science class; have less math and science fairs; are less likely to sponsor after schoolprograms; and are less likely to inform students about extracurricular math and scienceprograms. Students attending rural high school, then, tend to have less opportunities to engage inSTEM-related activities, and therefore, lower STEM participation.Conceptual Framework We draw on Main et al.’s [42] conceptual framework on the factors associated withengineering major choice across life stages to inform this study.

At the end of the process, participants develop an actionplan to address their concerns about the study’s topic and disseminate the photographs tocommunity stakeholders [12]. Photovoice has been widely used in public health [13], but it isbecoming a popular research strategy in engineering [14]–[17].The objective of this pilot study was to explore the experiences of Black undergraduateengineering students using photovoice. The research questions guiding this work were: 1) What does it mean to be a Black student at the University of Florida? 2) What does it mean to be a Black engineering student

They had never heard of a sustainability designation and were intrigued by the unique skillset I could bring. … They were impressed by the curriculum, and … [o]ne interviewer said, ‘I wish I had that when I was in school.’ I became memorable.”L.

SelvesThe psychological concept of possible selves, developed by Hazel Markus and Paula Nurius,examines how people use both positive and negative imaginations of the self to guidemotivation, behavior, and identity construction, including ethical formation [4]. According to theauthors, possible selves facilitate self-knowledge informed by “the ideal selves we would verymuch like to become” as well as “the selves we are afraid of becoming” [4]. As such, possibleselves function as “cognitive manifestation[s]” of persistent “goals, aspirations, motives, fears,and threats” and operate as “the essential link between self-concept and motivation” [4].Importantly, the authors argue that the possible selves people construct, though numerous andvaried, are
