Studentslost jobs and internship opportunities. With a whole cohort of students and faculty at risk, theComputing Alliance of Hispanic Serving Institutions (CAHSI) researchers realized that theAffinity Research Group model [7] could be migrated to the virtual environment, providingfaculty and students with research experiences and opportunities that would otherwise be lost.During the summer of 2020, supported by a NSF grant, 51 students and 21 faculty participatedin a virtual REU (vREU) 8-week experience.

What were these changes?TAs and instructors pointed out that flexible structure in facilitating activities like prototyping,sketches, and cardboard design allowed students to think different aspects of the needs ofstakeholders. As observed by a TA, “before students think of stakeholders as “barriers” inengineering but now they integrated or internalized the needs of stakeholders in their designs, theimportance of the product and thus beginning to see stakeholders not as a barrier but a mediumto inform their plans and that describes more about empathy and digging deeper on the whyquestions.”Table 4.

Hence, educators haveto continue to find ways to strengthen team-work and team building among the students.IntroductionSeveral studies show that engineering students across educational levels are motivated in alearning environment that incorporates active learning instructional practices. Lesson plans thatemploy experiential learning activities that relate with the students’ daily lived experiencesincreases the interests of engineering students [1]. Teaching high school students engineering ischallenging because many things contend for the attention of the students. The attention span ofmost high school students today is short due in part

In an academic program, self-efficacyimpacts choosing a plan of study that aligns with a desired profession that you anticipate joiningafter obtaining your degree. In this way, self-efficacy has direct impact on the recruitment ofwomen into engineering programs of study, as women must first see themselves as a successfulengineer before committing to an engineering major. Additionally, self-efficacy is demonstratedin individual courses, as students choose classes and

Phase 1, the identification phase contains steps 1 - 3 of theevaluation process. This phase centers on understanding the evaluation program and its overallpurpose, leading to a statement of work (SOW). Next, phase 2, the planning phase contains steps4 - 6 of the evaluation process. This phase explores the program in more detail, deciding on datacollection, methods to use, and furnishes an evaluation proposal for the SEnS-GPS leadershipteam to review.

Our planned formatconsisted of 2 talks followed by a lightning talk session with 4 speakers that would segue into apanel. It was already clear in April, after just one month working virtually, that “Zoom fatigue”was a very real phenomenon, now well-documented as the particularly exhausting nature ofvideo calls [7,8].

To helpthe students obtain more content for their meetings, I started requiring the students taking theinternship and undergraduate research courses to perform the required presentation for this workat a chapter meeting. This provides a formal situation for the presentation; however, the studentaudience can be viewed as friendly. This approach then allows younger students to see futureopportunities while learning from the internship/research experience. Not every faculty specifiesthe chapter meeting for the document, but involving several faculty can quickly fill the meetingslots.For the current ABET
