)IntroductionThe diversity of the U.S. population is changing with predictions indicating that by 2050 therewill be no “majority race.” Already, Latino and Black communities make up 30% of thecountry’s population [1]. However, this current level of diversity is not reflected in the STEMfields. In engineering, there has only been a small increase in Hispanic graduates from 8.5% in2011 to 11.9% in 2019 and almost no increase in Black graduates (4.2% to 4.3%). Over 50% ofthe engineering graduates nationwide continue to be White [2]. Increasing diversity in STEM isrequired to solve important problems faced by society through a wider array of solutions [3].Unfortunately, Black, Latino, and Indigenous youth often close the door to STEM careers earlyin their

A program of study in a particular major may map out a balance of breadthand depth in that engineering field. There are co-curricular and extra-curricular opportunities thatadd to that [1, 2].And certainly, internships bring additional context for what students may consider as the practiceand activities of engineering.

First-year student retention in science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs is particularly important asstudents primarily leave STEM programs between their first and second years [2]-[8]. Seymourand Hewitt’s [8] comprehensive review of attrition in STEM programs reports that roughly 35%of students leave STEM majors during the transition between the first and second year; most ofthese students switched majors, but some dropped out of college entirely. They also describehow attrition rates in STEM programs decrease dramatically after this initial loss, suggesting thatstudent retention in STEM programs may increase if efforts are made to better retain first-yearstudents [8].A more recent report

In recent years, incorporation of DEI principles hasbecome a marquee focus in engineering curricula across the country. However, these efforts havealso drawn considerable skepticism from pedagogical traditionalists, who perceive anintrinsically zero-sum relationship between DEI and technical rigor, the latter of which isthe sine qua non of engineering education.In this work, we address these (understandable and justifiable) concerns by highlighting twoopportunities to engineer a virtuous cycle that simultaneously elevates technical rigor and DEIoutcomes: (1) identifying

Employment in construction is projected to grow 6percent from 2020 to 2030 [1]. At the same time, since projects are becoming more complex, attaining a bachelor'sdegree is an increasingly important requirement for obtaining access to high-demand, well-paying careers in theconstruction management industry [2]. The demand for construction education graduates has increased markedly inthe past several years. As a result of this demand, construction education programs flourish throughout the nation [3,4].

To helpillustrate the differences between these types of definitions let us borrow Clark’s example andconsider the varying ways to define the term eligible voter. A connotative definition defines theterm by listing the necessary and sufficient qualifications that attach to those to whom the termvalidly applies (e.g., a human being, over the age of 18, and who is a citizen of the geographicalor political region in which the election

Through this activity the learner is able to translate an abstract concept into practicalapplication. Translation of abstract principles to real world concepts is often achieved throughinstructional laboratories that typically require significant space, time, and faculty resources. Toaddress the heavy burden of labs on these resources, remote or fully virtual labs have becomemore popular in different areas of STEM in the last decade, especially with the increase in thenumber of online classes offered [3], [4], [5].
