,marginalized, and/or hidden identities and core experiences in engineering classrooms. Yet,many faculty are not provided with practicable resources and training that can enrich theirknowledge, empathy, and understanding of students’ diverse and marginalized experiences thatdiffer from their own. This lack of resources has slowed the transformation of engineeringculture and provides an opportunity for practical impact by researchers and faculty developers.However, the topic of developing inclusive culture remains understudied and has evadedtraditional approaches to education research. Quantitative approaches can broadly identify thepresence of marginalization or inclusion, but they lack the nuance to enhance a reader’s inclusiveunderstanding. In

In this project, lectures were given to students on the nine core values of EOP,including Systems Thinking, Environmental Literacy, Social Responsibility, ResponsibleBusiness and Economy, Environmental Impact Measurement, Materials Choice, Design Mindsets,Critical Thinking, and Communication and Teamwork. After students were given the trainingmaterials on EOP Framework after the midterm, including handouts, videos and one lecture on thecore concepts of EOP, three students formed a team to provide a two-page proposal on the scopeof the project and the alignment of the proposed project with the nine core values of EOP.

For STEM WOC faculty, this may translate intoincreased teaching and service loads in addition to demands to research productivity. Despitethese circumstances, WOC STEM faculty report an interest in serving in these institutionsbecause of their culturally affirming environments and the potential to impact students fromsimilar backgrounds (e.g., race/ethnicity, gender, lower income) [11], [4], [38]. Further, ourstudy considered these dynamics when investigating institutional structures that support WOCSTEM faculty at MSIs.MethodsThe current study is part of a more extensive national study

The overall objective of the program is toincrease the retention of low-income students by fostering their behavioral, academic, cognitive,and affective engagement. The central hypothesis for the project is that participation in a smallSTEM learning community designed to increase engagement on multiple dimensions willimprove student success outcomes for low-income students. Our hypothesis is based on datafrom existing programs on campus supporting underserved students. Best practices from thoseorganizations were incorporated into the program design for Endeavour.The research study associated with the Endeavour S-STEM Program has been designed toaddress three specific aims: 1.

insightWhen a team is evaluating design options, the objective is to select the best option tomaximize positive outcomes while minimizing negative consequences. A challenge for mostteams is recognizing the broad range of potential outcomes and consequences, and themagnitudes of those impacts. Questioning helps students discover things they missed. Evenonce the team members have identified the potential outcomes and consequences, they oftenstruggle to develop a consensus of what is “best”. In this case, asking questions helps theteam members discover the underlying values informing each student’s assessment of theimpacts.To motivate the skill, we shared the story of Citicorp Center (Morgenstern 1995): A questionfrom an architecture student prompted

, job shadowing programs still exist and have been documentedin the literature.In engineering, most job shadowing experience is in connection with industry. Job shadowingprograms have been found to have impacts on student career trajectories. Engineering programsare expected to help students find internships and job shadowing opportunities in industry becauseit is considered a best practice for students to have this experience early in their careers [3]. Whenpaired with a near-peer mentor and participating in a job shadowing experience, research showsthat there is a positive impact on student retention in STEM programs [4].Many different aspects can influence a successful job shadowing program.

Simple exposure to adiverse environment in the classroom does not fully prepare students to succeed in a similar real-world environment.In order to best prepare students for post-graduation roles, we must incorporate DEI into ourcurriculum. Education in these issues promotes their awareness of the topic and allows them toexplore their own implicit bias in a safe environment. Practicing our teaching with similarthought, we must assess the student outcomes in a manner which is reflective of our ownunderstanding of these issues and aims to minimize performance gaps due to disparities betweenstudents.Systems Engineering is an ideal platform to promote student awareness of global inequities inthe world as well as explore

This pandemic was already mentioned in the introduction as a reason for thedelay in the curriculum update. Besides this, COVID-19 was also a great disruption for oursocieties.

For example, Participant C’s institutionhas a military awareness class for undergraduates and a transition class to help nontraditionalstudents (especially veterans) transitions to higher ed. Both classes use military principles in tobenefit military and non-military students [24], [26]. Recognizing the important similarities inbenefits between these classes and other classes in research lends weight to the idea that sharingthese promising practices could be beneficial to increasing support for military students in thecontext of higher engineering education in the western United States.ConclusionLittle
