We interviewed professionals inthe industry and the university to obtain their perceptions of activities or initiatives that willincrease the percentages of women in mining fields. The study consisted of semi-structuredinterviews with professionals to learn how they entered their professions and what can be done toincrease the participation of women in the mining industry. The interviewees were primarily 1)mining industry professionals, 2) academic program managers, and 3) part-time academicians andindustry workers.

This makes it morechallenging to develop and operate educational programs that effectively train cybersecuritytalent, which is able to take on and perform in multiple roles and responsibilities, withouttailoring the program to be very specific to such roles. Hence, cybersecurity educationalprograms must train professionals that can stand the test of time, in a fast-paced and quicklychanging career [2].Educators are quickly recognizing that the curriculum structure and delivery modalities must bedeveloped to ensure foundational concepts and frameworks are clearly comprehended andtranslated into practice. This has motivated several efforts at different levels to outline theexpected skillsets

While general training and support such as those offered by career service centers are useful, specific support by STEM faculty with real-time efforts in applying for academic positions was more timely and valuable for URM scholars. 2.

IntroductionThe problem-solving studio (PSS) is a pedagogical technique that focuses on problem-basedlearning. Because of PSS’s features, instructors can adjust the level of support they provide inreal time, as well as the difficulty level of the problems, to ensure that each student is challengedat a level that is beyond what they could achieve on their own, but at the upper end of what theycan achieve in a PSS setting [1].

In particular, the design of bolted steel connections requires numerouschecks using both the tension member limit states of AISC Chapter D and the bolted connectionlimit states of AISC Chapter J [1]. Students often end up confused about the limit statecalculations, unable to connect the written mathematical formulas to physical behavior.On assessments, the instructor requires the students to sketch failure paths for the various modesof failure. However, students seemingly have difficulty identifying where the basic tensionmember limit state failures occur, let alone the more complex connection limit states.

In the last 80 years, the professional degree programs experienced adecrease in total credit hours in their curriculum, including the architecture, engineering, andconstruction programs (AEC) [1]. It is possible to find examples of program requirementsreduced from over 210 credit hours to 120 credit hours [2].

IntroductionToday, one of the most critical decisions is the lifetime career choice, or at least an essential part.Given the above, students are influenced by different factors when choosing a program of study,and it does not necessarily have a direct relationship with their aptitudes. The student's decision toselect a college goes through different stages, and various studies have attempted to model thisprocess [1-5]. Moreover, universities worldwide try to attract as many students as possible to theirprograms, offering various benefits [6,7] and competing with other universities offering the sameprogram [8,9].Most studies aiming to understand the factors that influence students' decisions when choosing anacademic program are conducted at the university

retention rate is 69% [1] which means almost one-third ofstudents leave college just after one year. Most engineering students do not even experience anycore engineering courses during their first year at college. The average graduation rate fortraditional students attending classes full-time is 35.8% after four years, 46.4% after six years,and 47.8% after eight years [1]. There is no single factor that makes students leave college andsuch a decision is influenced by inter-related factors. However, among academic, personal, andfinancial factors, academic success is reported to be the best predictor of student retention andthe most important factor in the graduation rate [2].

Gonzales et al. argue that diversity and inclusion efforts often “stem from a desire not totransform, but to implement small changes around the edges that will not disrupt the status quo”[1, p. 457]. Often these efforts are focused on how many members of marginalized andminoritized communities are invited into our institutions as students and faculty, but diversity isnot just about numbers of people.

A previous study at North Carolina State University showed thatstudents with a lower GPA in an active learning sophomore chemical engineering course weremore likely to remain in the chemical engineering program (1). The active learning caused asignificant difference in retention of students with lower GPA while students with higher GPAwere unaffected by classroom pedagogy. Studies have also shown that different prior knowledgelevels can affect the final conceptual understanding of topics (4). A study done in middle schoolsshowed that an animated pedagogical agent helped low prior knowledge students increasecognitive gains. The high prior knowledge students exposed to the same pedagogy did not showthe same cognitive gains as the other
