Boone argues that first-generation students’ belongingness in reference tothese factors were higher than they were for continuing-education students. On the contrary,Benson et al.’s account of one white, male, first-generation student’s perspective on classroombelonging described how he felt faculty only resonated with how some students solved problemsand not all students, particularly those with access to skills and knowledge the student felt helacked [12].Socioeconomic background is often referenced alongside studies on first-generation collegestudents due to the general correlation between low socioeconomic background and first
solving heat transfer problems. For example calculators replaced slide rulesin the early 1970’s as the basic computational tool for solving engineering problems. A fewyears later programmable calculators became available and modules containing basic solutions toheat transfer problems were developed for these calculators. In addition, authors began toinclude sections in their textbooks, introducing students to numerical techniques for solving heattransfer problems.Prior to the introduction of personal computers (PCs) in the early 1980’s, complex computercodes were needed for numerical solution of heat transfer problems. Access to mainframecomputers and proficiency in such programming languages as FORTRAN and PASCAL werenecessary for solving

The academicyear following the RET, he switched to teaching ninth graders in the same rural system’s highschool. • Mr. S’ developed curriculum activity featured an introductory look at wireless communications in his integrated science course that he shared with his ninth-grade students. Aside from a Morse code activity for the students to complete, the lesson was mostly a lecture format with Mr. S asking frequent questions for comprehension checking. Students did indicate their understanding of the key points being illustrated by the teacher through discussion responses.Ms. M. has

assistance until this goal was met. Prior to proposal development, each KickStarterteam performed a STEM-self assessment and developed a STEM plan, out of which researchproposal concepts were identified and matched to the appropriate NSF program, e.g. S-STEM,ATE, and later HSI. In 2016, HSIs in KickStarter cohorts began to acquire grant awards, initiallyin S-STEM and ATE. When the HSI program solicitation was announced, HSIs in KickStarterbegan switching from pursuing the Small Grants for Institutions New to the ATE Program trackto the equivalent track in the HSI program, quite successfully. A total of eleven HSI awardswere earned by 2-year HSIs participating in KickStarter for an 85% award rate. In 2019 theKickStarter program ended and no new

When building autonomy by increasing student involvement in program andcourse refinement, participants suggested approaches such as allowing students to provide “inputon syllab[i]” and “feedback on different phases of project[s].” In the case of giving students classcontent ownership/student agency, participants expressed how students could be given autonomyby allowing them to “choose or create their own assignment,” by providing opportunities forstudents to “teach class one day,” as well as by "motivating” students to practice autonomy and“solve problems their own way."As observed in Alterman’s Circumplex Model, motivating teaching styles can be adopted toincrease students’ intrinsic
]. Thisperception can cause students to question the relevance of the content they are learning insideand outside the academic content area. Establishing students' positive self-beliefs about theiracademic capabilities early on is vital as their beliefs about their abilities become less malleableover time [9]. If students do not understand mathematics and do not believe they can do it, theybecome disinterested and ultimately abandon pursuing mathematics and mathematics-relatedfields such as engineering [10].The integration of engineering with math and science is one mechanism that can foster theadoption of positive beliefs about mathematics.

Demographic information, the grit-S, andengineering identity instruments were collected for chemical engineering students at aresearch institution via Qualtrics.

This pilot contrasts Kate and Dan’s quantitative measures ofsuccess (GPA, grit, engineering identity) with their qualitative experiences from theinterview. Additionally, Kate and Dan’s engineering identity scores were compared to‘other’ senior engineering students’ scores to describe the different ways of definingsuccess.This work shares two student experiences that expand the common definition of success as gettinggood grades.

Norwich recognizes that students who enter college with lessexperience in mathematics are less likely to graduate with a degree in a STEM discipline. Withthat in mind, the project aims to measure the benefits of a corequisite implementation ofprecalculus and calculus to help students complete the required calculus sequence by the end oftheir first year.

In addition, the course professors commented that the workshop helped to reinforce theconcepts that their students had been learning before the workshop. These promising resultsencouraged us to adopt our other workshops (e.g., Design Thinking Workshop and Idea Sprints),which were also originally designed for in-person instruction, for remote learning.AcknowledgmentThis research is sponsored by the VentureWell Faculty Grant ( #17926-18).
