studies [1, 2] have examined the impact of academic accommodations on theacademic success of STEM students, revealing a rapid increase in the number of students withdisabilities attending post-secondary institutions in recent years. Educational equity is key tomeeting students’ needs while having access to all the resources, so one may effectively reachtheir full potential. One study [4] investigated the experiences of STEM students withdisabilities at a large research university in the United States. This study found that studentswho received academic accommodations, such as extended time on exams and access toassistive technology, were more likely to persist in their studies and achieve academic successthan those who did not receive

Currently, two popular ancillary approaches are peer-led team learning(PLTL) and supplemental instruction (SI). In a PLTL session, students solve problems as agroup that is led by a peer leader who is not normally a subject matter expert (SME), whereas anSI session is led by an SME.1 In both types of sessions, students learn how to

This is a progressive process as the new concepts they learn one day might be thepre-requisite for a later concept in the same course or later in a higher-level course. In order tounderstand this, the following research questions are investigated. (1) Do pre-requisite concepts (from a pre-requisite course) play any role in a student’s understanding of a new concept? (2) Within the same course, how well do our students make connections between the related concepts? (3) To what extent can students learn a higher-level engineering concept without a proper understanding of mathematical concepts (both basic and advanced)? (4) How well can our

Specimens can also be prepared by molding thematerial to be tested.” Missing from the list of test specimen preparation methods are 3D-pritingtechniques.

We explore twopossible explanations for this finding—individual women’s disinterest in leadership andstructural constraints limiting their rise.
