levels). Finally, participants were asked (Q12) which of the threedomains they preferred to learn with and why. It should be noted that this interview consisted ofquestions about all three domains, and the results were split into three papers to better emphasizethe findings related to each domain of learning. In this paper, we focus only on the cognitivedomain of learning. Readers interested in understanding more about the research on affective andpsychomotor domain are directed to the other papers from this project [2], [3].Q1: How do you perceive learning as a process?Learning is an integral part of our lives.

problem illustrated above, MOM problems have been developed and tested for ourfluids experiments and other heat transfer experiments. Problem design is underway for theremaining experiments used in both Unit Operations laboratory courses.Additional work is in development for our integrated chemical and petroleum engineeringfreshman year project-based experimentation.Concluding RemarksBoth instructors plan to expand their use of MOM both in courses where MOM is currently usedand in courses where it has not been used. The use of MOM question databanks is still underdevelopment in multiple courses.Comparison to Canvas quizzes: MOM has all of the benefits of Canvas quizzes, but addsadditional useful features. Both platforms are flexible as to
students by minimizing the needto enroll in remedial or supplementary courses, freeing up time for them to pursue researchopportunities. Second, the advising model prioritized early communication about researchopportunities, ensuring that students were aware of the professional benefits of researchengagement early in their academic careers. The personalized guidance provided by facultyadvisors was instrumental in matching students with research projects aligned with their interestsand career aspirations, further promoting sustained engagement and academic satisfaction.While these findings clearly illustrate the implementation of this new active structured advisingmodel have improved mechanical engineering student initial math placement, four-year

released a report, titled, “The Rise ofAsian Americans” (Pew Research Center, 2012) based on the 2010 U.S. census (U.S.Census Bureau, 2012). The title referred, in part, to the changing demographic andsocioeconomic trends. In 1960, Asian Americans comprised less than one percent ofthe U.S. population, but account for 5.6% today—becoming the fastest growing groupin the country. Immigration is driving much of this demographic change (Alba & Nee,2003; Lee & Bean, 2010). China and India have now surpassed Mexico as the leadingsources of new immigrants to the United States. Demographers project that, by 2065,immigrants from Asia will comprise 38% of all immigrants to the country. As a result,Asian Americans will nearly triple in size, and
accommodate a 60-minute interview schedule. The final protocol included 12 questions centered on participants’ lived experiences.● Some leading questions were: ○ What are the biggest barriers or challenges you’ve experienced as an engineering major? ○ What positive experience have you encountered in your engineering major? ○ Please tell me about your engineering journey and why you decided to major in engineering.● We recruited from two universities that we had a relationship with, and administrators that we knew would share our recruitment email quickly since this project was during the summer. We were hoping that participants would respond quickly.● Recruitment yielded 5 participants● Here we describe

Lay the paper on the table.3. Assemble the triangle from step 1 and the x-y plane from step 2 to demonstrate the force vector F in 3D space.This exercise not only helps the students construct the force vector in 3D space but also helps themlearn the process of breaking a complicated 3D problem into two simpler 2D problems. Aftervisualizing the problem, the students are instructed to rephrase the problem using technical languageand symbols, such as “the projection of force F on the x-y plan is F’. The angle between F and F’ is = 30o. F’ lies in

Previous teacher and student studies have documented success with theCrumble in England and the U.S. due to its durability, affordability, ease of use, wealth ofinstructional resources available, and appropriateness for students and teachers in the elementaryand middle grades who have varying levels of experience with physical computing [5-6,10,28-29]. In addition, the Crumble can be programmed using drag-and-drop block-based coding tocontrol external sensors. Specifically for this project, the Crumble was of interest because it hasbeen shown to have easy compatibility with
COVID restrictions and having places to go it gets really hectic and hard to communicate. (Cohort 2)This inability to effectively communicate not only limited peer-to-peer discussion, it alsohindered the development of social capital (connections with peers) that otherwise would havebeen supportive of learning within the course. In some instances, this meant limited opportunitiesto conduct group work or projects. In other cases, it meant that they lacked a reference group ofpeers who are also studying in engineering and so they ultimately felt like they were strugglingalone. It really made it hard to get help with projects or talk to people and be like, hey, I'm having an issue, like maybe you're having

engineers, students will be comforted to know they can achieve success inengineering and be prepared for the issues they will face in the field. By including social contextfor engineering design, the next generation of engineers will create socially conscious designs andfight for equity in their future careers. This inclusion of social context should be in the forms ofcase studies, debates, or role play, capstone projects rather than just historical examples, whichwill teach students how to critically think about such issues and consider ways in which largersocial structures serve to empower or disenfranchise people. Furthermore, education shouldinclude inclusivity training to discuss issues of equality and inclusion, including gender equity inthe

Although the courses are designed to replicate courses offered in thesemester (i.e., assign homework, group projects, and exams) the students do not receive creditfor the courses. Thereby, the SBP provides the space and time for students to grapple with thedifficulty of the academic subjects without penalty to their academic standing or grade pointaverages (GPAs). Throughout the program, students also participate in informational seminars presented byvarious offices on campus to understand the range of opportunities and
engineering education (EE) have played a significant role in thedevelopment of countries before, during, and since colonization [1]. Lucena & Schneider [1]remind us that while economic and political conditions may have differed across countries,engineers' primary goal during colonization was to transform nature into infrastructure to becontrolled, get a return on investments, and demonstrate superiority over indigenoustechnology. Across different colonizing powers, engineers filled a role in service to thecolonial project. Over time, as colonies became independent countries, engineering was - andstill is - considered an essential tool for helping these “traditional” societies on the path todevelopment [1].

Based on current projections, it is estimated that by the year 2044, underrepresentedminorities (Black, Hispanic, LatinX and American Indian) will comprise over 50% of the overallpopulation in the U.S. However, underrepresented minority (URM) youth lag significantlybehind their white and Asian American counterparts in their interest in STEM. Lowerrepresentation of URMs in STEM can be attributed to a variety of factors including, a lack ofinstitutional commitment, a lack of representation throughout students’ upbringing, ineffectivecultural recruitment/outreach efforts, educational discrepancies throughout PK-12, and socialexpectations, among others.
