This theme requirement was in-spired by the curriculum ThreadsTM requirements employed by the College of Computing atthe Georgia Institute of Technology.7New Infrastructure Course(s)One goal of the revised curriculum is to create a new course (or series of courses) that intro-duces students to the infrastructure. The goals of the Introduction to Infrastructure class(es)and associated topics are shown below. Introduce students to civil engineering (including the history of civil engineering, the role of the civil engineer in society, and the concept of the infrastructure). • Field trips • Lab experiences • Field
. This challenge will continue since the program does nothave flexibility particularly in terms of increasing incentives such as stipend to be morecompetitive.Demanding nature and timeframe of the program: Since student researchers are involved in theprojects from conception to final delivery, the program is more demanding than other researchopportunities in which research ideas, hypotheses, or even literature review sometimes arealready available to the students. Student researchers also have to write a proposal and report(s)and prepare poster and/or PowerPoint presentations. The academic year timeframe of theprogram makes it difficult for students to manage between classes and research. The most twocommon reasons for students for not

This shows the need for dedicated training in microflows for those studentsplanning to pursue research in the area. The results of this project successfully demonstrated thelimitations of the current training, but revisions are required to replace that flawed intuition withsomething better. These revisions will be applied in the next iteration of this project.

While the students’ mainrole is to learn, it is observed that in most classrooms, students approach learning through the lensof the instructor’s vision. The authors have experienced it in engineering as well as technologicalliteracy classes, with some differences. For this paper we focus on the engineering students. Inrecent years, newer pedagogical approaches and improvements in instruction techniques haveexpanded the student’s view from this lens [1,2]. Nonetheless, students who are taking more thana few classes with heavy syllabi tend to focus on finishing the classes with

Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, the Kruskal-Wallis test does not identify whichsample(s) are not taken from the same population of data. However, inspection of Tables 2-5 andthe underlying data shows that the courses that were taught in a face-to-face format in Fall 2020received lower evaluation scores in Fall 2019. This is also consistent with the Wilcoxon SignedRank Test results, which showed that the face-to-face courses were the only courses where someof the scores showed statistically significant improvement from Fall 2019 to Fall 2020. Incontrast, some of the scores for courses taught in other modes of instruction in Fall 2020 showedstatistically significant decreases between Fall 2019 and Fall 2020.

This data point was not considered when comparing differences in gender due to the smallsample size but was considered for analysis of 1st-generation and low- vs. high-engineering self-efficacy.Eighteen students reported being 1st-generation, thirty-nine were not. Twenty-one scored 4.0 or greater onmeasures of engineering self-efficacy, thirty-six scored below 4.0.To examine the reliability of the

The study will also be expanded in the future to include more onlineand summer classes, in addition to the traditional face-to-face classes. This will help determinewhether students need the class to be structured differently from traditional face-to-face classes.References[1] S. Freeman, D. Haak, and M. P.

The 1960’s and 1970’s led to the creation of law and programs to promote equityand challenge gender-related disparities including the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the Title IX of theEducation Amendments Act of 1972, and the Women’s Educational Equity Act of 1974 to namea few. Nonetheless, these women scientists continued to bring “modest but essential change tohigher education in the years 1972-1985” [35, p. 39].In the Nineteenth and Twentieth century, women studying or working in engineering wereperceived as outcasts.
