these students, 14 students were recruited. Student participants were askedto share information about their experiences as a first-year student in Seaver College, includingtheir challenges and struggles. Their techniques and strategies to overcome those challenges andstruggles were supplemented with the results from students who were not struggling or did notreceive midterm deficiency grades (n = 5) but rather thrived throughout the semester. For thesefive student participants, the authors received recommendations from professors. The semi-structured interviews were conducted in spring 2022, ranged from 9 to 36 minutes (M = 21.8, SD= 7.5), and were recorded and later transcribed using a third-party transcription service provider.This project is

research is a stakeholder-ownedmeans by which to elicit community member needs. Participatory research has been conductedand examined in contexts of COVID-19, climate adaptation, neurodivergence, and many otherareas of research [14] - [16]. This approach translates into strategies that are developed bycommunity members themselves to address those needs. Authors of the book ParticipatoryResearch for Health and Social Well-Being state that participatory means involving peoplewhose lives are at the center of research in making key decisions of any research project,including decisions pertaining to the (1) focus of the research, (2) research questions, (3) methodof answering questions, (4) information to collect, (5) method of making sense of

formalcooperative learning groups are set up as a structured team with members depending on teammembers for success on the assigned project. The Johnson and Johnson model on socialinterdependence theory [5] incorporates 5 essential elements of co-operative learning: positiveinterdependence, individual accountability, promotive interaction, appropriate use of socialskills, and team evaluation. It is generally found that more well-defined cooperative learninggroups with strong positive interdependence work the best for student engagement and learning[9]. Collaborative learning refers to an active learning environment in which studentscollaborate in small groups towards a common goal [1], but groups are generally less structuredthan in co-operative learning

In addition, the field of engineering education isrecognizing the need to challenge students to engage with the intersections between technologyand societal concerns. Mazzurco for instance details the need for greater emphasis on “long termtechnical” considerations, an area that students often omit from view.

In addition,the decision-making process regarding degree objectives is extremely complicated andindividualized.To start this process, in this paper, we begin by investigating descriptive statistics. We exploreddata across meaningful groups of students, starting with the students’ “outcomes” at the end of theyear. For our analysis, we

Statistics [16] determined that in United States highereducation, there are over 1.5 million faculty. Of that number, 46% are part-time or contingentfaculty [17]. People of color and underrepresented ethnic groups make up only 10.4% of allfaculty appointments. Seventy-three percent of these 10.4% are contingent positions [18].Overall, 69.5% of teaching positions in higher education in the U.S. are contingent roles [14].More specific to STEM and engineering, 8.9% of full-time teaching faculty in United Statesengineering programs at 4-year colleges are contingent faculty [19].

This idea of supporting the pre-engineeringstudent in a culturally appropriate manner was a significant factor of the origin story ofthe four tribal colleges involved in this project, and for all of the TCU’s in existencetoday. In this way it was believed that between TCU's and the mainstream institution thestudents would get more personalized and therefore effective engineering educationwhile they had the opportunity of developing and maintaining their cultural identity goingforward in their chosen careers. How that initial rationale was refined and applied fromthe end of the first funding cycle to the beginning of the lockdown
