sizeable enrollmentranging from 150 to 225 students per semester, the ECE Discovery Studio program relies heavilyon the utilization of Peer Leaders (PLs), a cohort of 15 to 20 upper-level EE and CmpE studentsselected to a stipend-eligible academic-year-long fellowship. The Peer Leader Fellowship (PLF)is facilitated in parallel to ECE Discovery Studio with the goal of providing easily accessiblementorship from students who have gone through similar experiences and have commonacademic interests within the expansive ECE curriculum. Each PL is assigned a mentee group of10 to 15 ECE Discovery Studio students and the course is designed to promote networkingamong small groups through interactive studio activities, peer reviews, team projects

However, for URMparticipants, the career-forward experience results in a small/medium positive effect that isspecific to Engineering self-efficacy, an encouraging result.The decrease in commitment to an engineering career for URM students suggests that someaspect of the curriculum is likely causing issues. Considering the positive trend for EngineeringSelf Efficacy among this group, indicative of increased confidence for doing engineering, this isan especially intriguing and concerning result, which may be related to stereotype threat whereour focus on career practices causes URM students to project negative feelings or experiencesforward into their career.

It was supposed tobe an easy question, a way for me to get participants talking about something familiar, and tobuild rapport between us. I realize now this question was also an implicit invitation to tell astory, to give me a sense of who they are, and to provide me a roadmap of what kind of questionsmight be useful to ask later in the interview.For most participants, it accomplished all of these goals. I was surprised by how naturally thesenarratives rolled off their tongues, how rehearsed women’s stories were about how they came tobe involved in engineering.

The most relevant types of assessment in this case are formative (multiple timesduring the instruction process), summative (to be focused on student’s comprehension), andinterim assessments. The idea of explaining STEM material in visual and intuitive ways is not new. Forexample, Tyler DeWitt [1] taught high school students the topic of isotopes.

watch the lecture ahead of time and then use class time for extensive examples or activelearning activities. Flipped instruction can be particularly helpful in control-related courses byensuring that students still receive adequate instruction in control theory while making time forchallenging experimental projects. As reported by de la Croix and Egerstedt, students who aregiven challenging projects but not enough instruction in control theory often create complexcontrol algorithms that are not sound 15 . Conversely, students who receive control theory but arenot given experimental projects often have a difficult time implementing the theory they havelearned.Flipped instruction can be particularly powerful when augmented by low-cost, easy-to
