college's IRB used the contact information on our recruitmentmessage to notify coauthor 2 that we must delete all data from persons at their institution andsubmit our proposal to their IRB for review. This is even though our recruitment methods, sharedwith them, included the IRB project number and the IRB affiliation, with the standard statementsregarding compliance with Human Subjects rules and regulations per the IRB. Coauthor 2responded to each IRB with information about the purpose and details of our study as well asparticipant risk reduction and contact information for the authorizing IRB. Neither collegeresponded to either coauthor after receiving this information.The above IRB inquiry provides evidence of at least one instance of snowball
processor for division by default, but anynumbers can be loaded to test the dividers if desired.Once the divider and wrapper are created, our entire design, which includes our HW divider, thewrapper, and the edited Trireme processor will be synthesized with the Quartus tool. We alsocompile just the HW divider in its module to get an accurate measure of speed and area for justthe divider. This will give us a result for the area of this divider, as well as the critical path for thedivider implementation. The synthesis of the entire project is needed for ModelSim to carry outthe simulation and test the divider. The ModelSim simulator will simulate the testbench writtenfor it and check for correctness. The number of clock cycles to complete the HW

Due to their own personal experiences through graduate school and/or through the tenureprocess, the authors have embarked on a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project touncover the scripts of Whiteness in engineering, and more specifically in engineering education.The team did not want to only navel-gaze on and about Whiteness for Whiteness’ sake. That iswhy their study of Whiteness never forgets who should be centered: those that Whiteness hurts,oppresses, and marginalizes [18]. We understand that the lack of Black, Indigenous, and Peopleof Color (BIPOC) in engineering (i.e., supply) is not due to incapability or lack of persistence;it’s further downriver to the demand side—a

Regionalbachelor’s institutions are expected to lose more than 11% of their students by 2029, whereasdemand for elite institutions may be up to 14% higher in 2029 than it was in 2012 [2]. For elitecolleges researchers say it is the appeal of the job markets that gives them a better advantage.Will [3] in 2016 states “The United States is projected to produce fewer high school graduateseach year from 2014 to 2024, compared to the highest number of recorded number of graduatesin 2013. There will be a short period of growth between 2024 to 2026, but between 2027 and2032, the average size of graduating classes is expected to be smaller than it was in 2023.”Figure 1 below depicts [2] the growth, decline and the anticipated

I’ve always lived like a princess.” His parents offer emotional and financialstability, creating a secure environment that allows him to focus on his studies. As far asacademic guidance goes, Phil appreciates the support provided by engineering faculty,describing a mentor’s role as pivotal in his personal and professional growth. He says,“Professor Patel is easily my favorite professor. I started doing [design] with him, and wedo research projects. You can just tell he's always looking out for his students. he's verypersonal. He, he's kind of, you know, he feels like a, like a family member in some ways.”Here, we can see that while Phil does not receive engineering support from his

We identified that three latent factors, Parent Educational Involvement, HouseholdEducational Resources, and School Hindrances existed and that differences across the sample arean outcome of broader socioeconomic inequality driven by racism, sexism, and classism.

their classrooms more inclusive and supportive for allstudents. This includes giving students tools to be aware of the impact of their projects,motivating students from diverse backgrounds, and ensuring that students feel safe in theclassroom. Building a community of equity-minded faculty and learning from peers are alsosignificant motivators. Participants value the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues whoshare a commitment to DEI and create systemic change within engineering education. They seekto center DEI as a driver of innovation and to change the mindset that DEI does belong inengineering. Participants showcase a strong desire to be agents of change by turning DEIawareness into action and addressing structural and societal issues

Paper ID #11157WHY DO UNDERGRADUATE WOMEN PERSIST AS STEM MAJORS?A STUDY AT TWO TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITIESDr. Ronald Brandt, Seton Hall University Ronald Brandt teaches physical science at the high school level, emphasizing Project Based Learning and inquiry based lab activities. Brandt seeks to inspire his students, especially young women, to develop a passion for STEM studies and consider a career in science and technology. Prior to entering the education profession, Ronald Brandt was an executive in the chemical industry serving as senior vice president at two multinational firms as well as President & CEO of an
hearing what [they] had to say and interacting with people’s opinions that differed from my own such as theirs. I recognize this is a major hindrance and flaw in myself, as I believe one of the great problems of our world today is not listening and hearing what others have to say, which often differ than our own opinions. By the end of our class, I gained a new respect for [named student] and [their] viewpoints. I believe that the T-Group has helped me to become a significantly more effective leader, in that I’m attempting to more fully consider everyone’s needs and working styles as the project goes on. It is nice to know that I can be influenced in positive ways like that. That could also explain why I have influence in the
improving it (Kolodner et al.,2003; Sadler, Coyle, & Schwartz, 2000; Schauble, Klopfer, & Raghavan, 1990), effectivelyavoiding failure, at least initially. In another approach, many published curricula feature asubstantial amount of scaffolding, including task-specific fill-in worksheets and prescribedexperiments (e.g., Engineering is Elementary, Cunningham, 2009; Learning by Design, Kolodneret al., 2003; Project Lead the Way, 2014). Indeed, the National Academy of Engineering reporton K-12 Engineering Education, based on its investigation of literature and curricula, warns:“Although it may be tempting to allow students to direct their modeling themselves, thesuccessful interventions reviewed here highlight the importance of the teacher
achievementsand their self-perception as a STEM learner. Marcus mentioned during the interview, I don’t think I only have a STEM identity ‘cause I also have a creative identity. My own projects, whatever I’m into. Personally, I’m really into music, so as of now I’m a math and music major, so I find it difficult to balance those things ‘cause on one hand, STEM takes a really long time to do. Music also, in its own sense, takes a long time to do with having to practice every day, and going to concerts and rehearsals and stuff like that. I think they balance out each other nicely though since one is very analytical and one is very theatrical. I think it’s important to not just study, study, study. You have to do
reading the paper yet, this title reminds me of our work in reflection inengineering and trying to capture/understand the language that students have. That was exactlymy reaction for some academic team projects where I knew the people I was assigned to andcould identify based on past experiences that we were not the strongest combination of students.This paper is also interesting to me because the tool already exists. CATME (similarly tomakerspaces) is currently being implemented in the engineering curriculum but as the abstractnotes, little is known about how these tools are applied and how students and instructorsperceive their use…[Paper 3] This paper was interesting to me because of makerspaces, informal engineeringactivity, potential for
