development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills[11], the opportunity to work with like-minded peers and mentors [8], and the chance to learnabout careers in STEM fields [10]. In this article, the authors review the literature on high schoolSTEM hands-on summer camps and discuss their potential impact on student learning and careerdevelopment. Also, the paper outlines the hands-on activities of the summer camp hosted oncampus in the summer of 2022 and their impact on participant students.BackgroundAccording to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of 2021, there were approximately 10 millionworkers in STEM fields. This number is expected to increase by 11% by 2031—a growth rate thatis more than twice as fast as all other occupations

this study. Thecriteria used were the following. (1) The main focus of the paper must be on engineering, science, or STEM students more broadly. While there is important work to be done with students in other fields, our focus was on the STEM classroom. (2) The paper must have been published in the last twenty years. Given how much high- achieving and honors programs have changed through the years, we thought only getting the research from the last two decades would yield the most useful results. (3) The paper must be from a peer-reviewed journal or academic conference. We wanted only high-quality studies to be part of the systematic review and felt this criterion would better ensure quality.

One such group of invisible marginalized people in STEM are LGBTQ+ engineers, whonavigate a chilly, heteronormative climate in higher education [5] [6]. Additionally, prior studieshighlight how students with multiple-marginalized identities face more barriers than those withone or fewer marginalized identities [7] [8]. Students resist this chilly climate and can overcomethese barriers by forming communities of support, gaining power within the department, andinteracting with peers to create a more inclusive culture [2]. Resistance to this environment canbe influenced by the visibility of students’ marginalized identities [1

that students areoften required to show in their solutions is minimal. For full credit, high school students areaccustomed to simply writing their answers down in a list. In college-level math, science, andengineering courses, they quickly learn that showing their work is not just encouraged, it isrequired! Some students have never had to show any work, and they really don’t know how. Inpractice, just knowing how to find the answer is not enough. Presenting and defending a solutionrequires that the solution be supported with dialogue explaining what was done and why it wasdone. Students cannot create that dialogue without looking beyond the equations. They have tounderstand the model and the mathematics in order to explain it, and without an

For example, belongingness has been linked to extroversion on teams,suggesting that speaking up and trying to fully participate on a team can increase sense ofbelonging [28]. Yet this can be challenging if the team is not a psychologically safe one,suggesting that psychological safety may be an antecedent for sense of belonging on teams.2.3 Psychological safety and engineering teamsPsychological safety is an emergent characteristic of teams that is of interest when discussingsense of belonging in engineering education.

. Stereotype threat is most robust in situations thatinclude a variable that “triggers” the stereotype. Tests that are explicitly framed as ability testsor difficult tests are more likely to heighten stereotype threat [18]. As Ben-Zeev, Fein, & Inzlichtreported [19], an identity threat, such as telling women who identified with math that they wouldtake a very difficult math test, was enough to cause them to perform poorly on a test completelyunrelated to math and easy to do - writing their name backwards.Literature recommends numerous techniques to reduce stereotype threats in a learningenvironment: ● Teach students about the phenomenon of stereotype threat [20]. ● Provide students with situational (as opposed to stereotype-based) explanations

Support from the Theories of Liberatory Pedagogy and IntersectionalityI. IntroductionWithin conversations on broadening participation in engineering, there is a longstandingrecognition of the need for and importance of institutional support for students fromunderrepresented demographic groups [1]. This support comes from many sources, such asinstitutional offices, programmatic initiatives, and informal mentoring by faculty and peers. Keyinstitutional programmatic interventions include bridge programs, recruitment incentives,scholarship support, and safe space communities for marginalized and underrepresented identitygroups. These initiatives act as a front line for addressing diversity and equity in engineering.Their importance has been

Despitethe importance of metacognition, much of the research has occurred in controlled researchsettings such that much less is known about how to help students develop metacognitive skills inclassroom settings. Further, there are significant bodies of research on the role of metacognitionin writing and solving math problems, but little work has been done on the role of metacognitionwithin engineering disciplines.
