Mentor Selection: The near-peer mentors will complete an application process including apersonal statement expressing commitment to provide the students the necessary academic andmotivational support]. The selection process will include interviews using set criteria (e.g.,maturity level, enthusiasm toward the mentoring role, communication skills). The mentors willfunction as student ambassadors, will assist with recruitment, and participate in professionaldevelopment addressing ethics, professional obligations, and socio-psychological issues (e.g.,motivation, persistence, self

A rigorous exploration into the term global competenciesdefines these abilities as global awareness, global understanding, and the ability to effectivelyapply intercultural knowledge [3].Study abroad programs which involve traveling to a destination have historically been one of theprimary approaches to cultivate global competencies. Other methods include virtual study abroadprograms and the Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) model, which

This exposure not only broadens students' career opportunities but also cultivatescritical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation abilities that are essential for success in the21st-century economy. Moreover, familiarizing students with AI technologies early on fosters adeeper understanding of ethical considerations, biases, and societal impacts, enabling them tobecome responsible and informed users and contributors to the development of AI solutions.Ultimately, integrating AI education into Community college curricula equips students with thecompetencies necessary to adapt and excel in a world where AI is increasingly shaping our dailylives and professional landscapes.To bridge this gap and build capacity

And while original administrators left, new administrators (provost, faculty/admin)arrived and created a policy environment eliminating non-credit bearing math offerings or non-degree fulfilling math courses. These policy changes incentivized formalization andsustainability of courses like corequisite calculus.Data collection to study the course’s impact on retention initially motivated faculty to endorsethe pilot. However, several noted that COVID compromised the data.

through multi-year assessment of program SOs [25].However, for all of the papers cited above, the assessment tools were developed for the now-outmoded ABET 2000 “a through k” SOs.More recently, Ozis et al. developed SO assessment methods based on internship experiencesthat map to the modern “1-7” Criteria 3 SOs [13]. Moreover, the authors discuss the impacts thatinternships have on the perspectives and experiences of underrepresented engineering students.The authors identify mapping to six of the seven SOs. The Criteria 3 SOs are, in brief : (1)problem solving; (2) engineering design, (3) effective communication, (4) ethical responsibilities,(5) teamwork, (6) experimentation, data interpretation and engineering judgment, and (7) theability to

Due to logistical challenges, such as large class sizesand limited access to physical devices, instructors often resort to using images, videos, and CAD modelsto illustrate machine component functionality. Lectures typically involve board explanations or pre-designed slides, which may lack

. Instruction in the processof learning and time to reflect on their own learning is likely important. Feedback from facultyon the writing process is important so students know that their metacognition is valued. TheENA analysis process used in this research can be replicated using the steps outlined in thispaper.Future WorkFor future work, we plan to extend the positive impact of the epistemic network to other parts ofthe senior paper, such as contemporary issues and engineering ethics. The approach of epistemicnetworks allows us to gain insights on students’ mindset development not only on themselves,but also on the environment around them. This also could include other deliverables in thecurriculum as well, not limited to just these senior papers

fundamental knowledge is no longer enough to properly prepare students forthe start of their careers. This leads us to the question: how can industry and academia worktogether to prepare the next generation of students?Student Engagement in Higher EducationStudent engagement is a term often mentioned in education to ensure students are getting themost out of their learning experiences. It is linked to things like improved critical thinking,practical competence, skill transferability, improved cognitive development, increasedpersistence, and moral and ethical development within students [8].But what does it really mean?The National Survey for Student Engagement (NSSE) highlights two aspects of studentengagement in their definition: the amount of time
complexity of navigating racialidentity and how societal perceptions can impact individuals both positively and negatively.Our study of environmental nonprofit websites in Buffalo seeks to explore how the intricatelayers of racial and ethnic identification manifest within organizations’ public representations ofthemselves. Utilizing the Fitzpatrick skin type scale in this [25] study, we classified individualsas people of color (darker than olive) or not. However, we recognize individuals may bemiscategorized due to the inability to self-identify as people of color in our study. Self-identification is the most accurate and ethical method of racial and ethnic classification [24]. Asan equity-focused and racially diverse research team committed to
ableto: (1) link climate and sustainability to design, (2) develop multi-disciplinary solutions, (3)understand ethics and justice implications, and (4) collaborate with diverse communities.Milovanovic et al. [2] present compelling evidence that undergraduate engineering students inthe United States have misconceptions about climate change science and college coursesinvolving sustainable development did not correct the misconceptions. Even more troubling isthat Shealy et al. [3] found that half of high school students, that were interested in civilengineering, did not believe in human-caused climate change. This highlights the need for moreexposure to climate change throughout the engineering curriculum to not only clarify anymisconceptions, but

cited at the graduate level, particularly the PhD. Most commonly, a PhD degree inengineering focuses on advancing theory and applying findings to a practical problem (Barbieri,Vaidyanathan, & Peterson, 2012). Scholars also suggest that design at the PhD level must bebroader than traditional engineering disciplines, incorporating more history, philosophy, ethics,cultural studies, and politics (Meyer & Norman, 2020). Research is a fundamental component of any PhD. With a growing and maturing designresearch discipline, scholars have suggested that the focus of a design PhD can include: researchon design methods and processes, improved understanding of engineering practice, ways toincrease product development performance, and
combining them into brand marketing, developing them into fineboutique products. This idea-to-3D print project tasks the student designer with leaning into theirown culture to design home décor items inspired by their personal background. Students areencouraged to embrace cultural traits in their design, such as nationality, family structures,community, aesthetics (art, architecture, music, dance), cuisine, mythology, ethics, manners,festivals and holidays, and fashion. Cultural aspects should be meticulously used to influence thedesign, usage, and purpose of the product from the conceptual stage of design, rather than assuperficial or last-minute additions.

Using CCW is an avenue to conduct asset-based research, which highlights the strengths of students rather than weaknesses. This criticaland assets-based approach makes explicit the strengths and assets of communities, in this casewithin makerspaces. CCW can frame the experiences of students who might not always be seenthrough an explicit and purposeful focus on assets they bring into the space. This is apersonalized approach to understand the student staff’s experience as opposed to the neutraloutputs of their experience such as what they are creating or how many machines they are usingin the space.Research Question: What are the assets student staff
