shows thatstudents prefer having workshops in the evenings as opposed to mornings. The preference forevening workshops is corroborated by Hoffman et al.’s study [7]. This could be due to the timingof survey collection; the 2017 survey was sent out in Mid-March, while the 2018 survey was sentout Mid-January. The differences in preference could be a result of students considering theirschedules for the spring semester in the 2018 data. This could also serve to explain the increasein preference for a one-hour workshop in the ‘amount of time’ data.Figure 3.

towards subject area.**=significant differenceConclusions and Future StudyClearly, it is important to identify and research factors that impact girls’ decision to participate inSTEM classes and careers. Curriculum needs to be examined to determine if it not only raisesstudents’ test scores but also provides a stimulus to pursue a career in STEM. Researchdocumenting differences in achievement and attitudes towards STEM subjects need continuedstudy. If differences are evident, it is important to determine when those differences occurred.Without an understanding of the differences in attributes of girls and boys in STEM areas, it isdifficult to provide an equal learning opportunity for both groups.ReferencesAud, S., Hussar, W., Johnson, F., Kena, G

A significant part of this paper analyzesresponses to interventions designed to support retention of students lacking the mathbackground to “hit the ground running” upon entering a large, public predominantlywhite institution (PWI)’s college of engineering, with a disproportionate number ofminorities in the underprepared category. Targeted retention interventions for first yearstudents yielded statistically significant improvement in math course progression,particularly for minority students.

having access to a role model, we created a code for servingas a role model or having a role model. We define a role model as a person(s) whom theparticipant observed and was inspired by without necessarily having any prior relationship orcommunication. For example, many participants explained that their faith in their own ability tobecome an engineer was strengthened after seeing someone excelling within an engineeringprogram who “looked like them” or came from a similar background. Their role models inspiredand motivated them to work harder. Additionally, many participants described increasing theirinvolvement in NSBE/SHPE as a result of observing role models.

The public school systems in New Orleans prior to Katrina consistedof roughly 65,000 students spread among ~4,000 teachers with a predominantly (~93%) blackpopulation. The term ‘white flight’ was coined in the mid 1900’s to represent the drain of whitefamilies from inner city to suburban neighborhoods after desegregation. In the late 80’s to

Reflection on experience was framed as an intentional and dialectical thinking process where a student revisited features of an experience and used one or more lenses in order to assign meaning(s) to the experience that guided future action.28 From this standpoint, reflection the students had before, during, and after the international experience were analyzed. Reflection that occurred during the interview itself did not qualify as ‘Reflection’, as the nature of the interview was to engage the students to reflect on their experiences. Thus coding this way would have been unnecessary and uninformative. 6. Inductive – refers to codes that emerged from out of the interview data, not included in the

This norm particularly involves a lecturer’sdiscretion on how a class is organized along with how the student interactions in a class takeplace. The interactions here are defined by a debate, student to student discussion, student tolecturer discussion and so forth 3. Such interactions play an important role in quantifying &analyzing if the goal of improving a student’s knowledge is achieved.
