in writing scientific manuscripts are being developed [1-2], but its use as an instructional aid for teaching scientific writing is less understood [3]. Forbiomedical engineering (BME), technical writing is particularly important: they need to masterboth engineering and scientific approaches to written communication across multiple formats tovarious audiences. We have previously developed evidence-based technical writing modules,tailored to BME students, and vertically integrated them throughout our core curriculum [4].These modules were developed before widespread AI availability. To develop guidelines oninstructional AI use, we first need to understand students’ 1) perception on its utility and ethicaluse and 2) prior and current use of AI

positively affect motivation [1]. At the root of the model is that behaviorscongruent with one’s identities are preferred and motivating, whereas behaviors incongruent arenot preferred and viewed as unimportant and meaningless. Moreover, what children and youngadults perceive as congruent for them is heavily influenced by what they see and experience. Assuch, role models (teachers, mentors, peers) who reinforce and share in a given identity make itfeel congruent. It can then be more readily adopted as a part of their identity – who they are.This is why having caring, dedicated and multiple mentors, for example, is at the heart of boththe CISTAR and NSBE SEEK parts of the REM program and is so critical for changing thedemographics of fields such as

How people experience their LGBTQ identities withinhighly technical STEM higher education settings remains a compelling yet underexplored area.STEM fields are frequently perceived as domains where personal aspects of one’s life do notmatter to the practice of engineering and science. Consequently, these fields harbor rigid societalnorms and expectations regarding the expression of different gender identities and sexualorientations [2].

IntroductionThere is an urgent need to recruit, retain, train, and sustain a diverse engineering workforce ableto meet the socio-technical and environmental challenges of 21st century society. Together,student veterans and service members (SVSM) are a unique yet understudied group thatcomprises substantial numbers of those historically underrepresented in engineering based ontheir race, ethnicity, gender, and ability [1]. Specifically, post 9/11 veterans, who are morediverse than any previous cohort of U.S. veterans, comprise substantial sub-populations ofveterans who identify as

In educational settings, autonomy refers to giving students a choice in deciding theirlearning; competency is the feeling of being capable and confident in fulfilling the educational expectations, andrelatedness refers to the need to connect with peers and instructors in the class (Levesque-Bristol et al., 2010;Wong, 2022).
