alistening ear to anyone experiencing them.Perhaps the most important aspect of Sophie’s narrative is the insight it provides into the phenomenonthat some gendered microaggressions will happen but remain hidden to faculty. Sophie highlights reasonswhy for her and other students experiencing similar microaggressions, they may choose to stay silent:definitively gendered and problematic, they may fear retaliation from or worsening relations with fellowteammates. She also notes that gendered microaggressions are “a society thing, not like a school thing.” Ifwe consider how engineering professors might typically relate to gendered microaggressions – to assumethey are not happening (out of sight out of mind), to worry whether they themselves are

for infrastructure,especially when building while keeping natural disasters in mind [6]. Due to these views, it isdifficult to change the composition of cement or change the production methods while keepingthe expectations of reliability from engineers and the construction industry. While cement holds avital role in the transportation industry, it is not the same for the agricultural industry. Agricultureis negatively impacted by the cement industry in ways by soil quality and plant productionmainly due to cement dust, which emits large amounts of lead, zinc, hydrochloric acid, sulfuricacid, fluorine, copper, and magnesium [7]. During the cement manufacturing process, CO2 is released from four primary sources. Thecombustion of fossil fuels

most programs. The entry point for scholars within an S-STEMprogram can vary depending on the institution. Some programs focus on transfer and communitycollege students [2] - [4], while others provide support during the student’s sophomore year [5].However, because the first year is a critical juncture for retention [6] - [7], many S-STEMprograms provide support for students beginning their first year in a science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) program [8] - [12]. Programs that focus on first-yearstudents are often built with Tinto’s Model of Integration in mind. This model places significantimportance on academic and social integration to first-year success [13].Engineering students in their first year must adjust to a new

websitesaid “A significant problem in learning physics is being able to memorize all the information Ineed to know”. Most of our Community College students have trouble in the understanding of“to memorize” versus “to remember”. “To memorize” can be misinterpreted by communitycollege students to represent a rote learning of physics with a grading rubric adhered to the exactwords and numeric values in a physics textbook example. “To remember” involves awillingness of oneself in judgment and will be strengthened by repeated exercises. The Minds-on together with Hands-on practice is the corner stone of engineering literacy, summarized in a2020 publication by The International Technology and Engineering Educators Association(ITEEA) and archived by
