of all majors is one way of beginning tobridge this gap.First-year students often do not have a solid understanding of engineering and its differentdisciplines. Many students enter college without a clear direction, and others will change theirmajors; thus, exposing them to different types of engineering can be valuable as they determinethe paths they want to follow. Some majors appear more human-focused than others (e.g.,biomedical engineering) and may attract more equitably minded students. Further, interest inequity topics such as social justice has been found to be higher among female students and thosefrom racial and ethnic backgrounds historically underrepresented in engineering [e.g. 5]. Thisself-selection is detrimental to efforts to

mentoring engineering student researchers. Ratherthan learning these concepts in courses, students tend to rely on their peers to navigate unclearsituations or suspicious interactions, especially with their mentors [11]. Nevertheless, this study aimed to establish foundational knowledge concerning theconcept of self-awareness by starting with STEMM faculty mentors that engage in theserelationships. Focusing on the key components in the faculty's responses that describe whatsomeone can do to be more self-aware resulted in a process that begins with a conscious actoccurring within the mind, and this act eventually becomes a thought that takes place in thephysical by way of self-regulation. At the core of “How to be Self-Aware” in the context

The total number of assignmentsassociated with this class was much higher than what they had seen in other college classes, however theydid note that the smaller size of each assignment helped pace themselves through the course. Onefreshman student explained that she appreciated the emphasis on pre-reads and the lecture outlines as theyhelped her know what to do even if her mind started to wander or if she missed a class session. Onesophomore student on the last day of the semester told the entire class that he wished he had taken thisclass sooner to help prepare him for his more complex engineering classes (e.g. Statics and Circuits).A few of the sophomore students said they disliked the increased number of assignments compared toother

This helps the students understand the connection surveyors andengineers have and it incorporates local areas so students can visualize what real infrastructurelooks like on two dimensional plans. Students who graduate with a bachelor’s in science of civilengineering typically do not enter the surveyor profession but many engineering roles willrequire their staff to be familiar with the fundamentals of surveying. With this objective in mind,our next lesson builds upon a field lab in the earlier weeks of the semester. The field lab instructsstudents to gather elevation data for a stream crossing using standard survey equipment. TheCivil 3D® lesson
