She recalls times of receiving help and affirmation, stating, “ [Another] professorjust in passing [said], ‘yeah, I have lab get-togethers,’ and I said, ‘yeah, I do that too.’” Here shecontinues to be uncertain whether these interactions were mentorship when she adds, “I don’tknow if that counts.” Blake seems more confident identifying non-relational forms ofmentorship, saying that she “Google [s] about it a lot, so it’s like the hive mind of mentorship(laughs), and [she goes] to workshops [that are] not really like one-on-one, but kindaprogrammatic

counterparts, as marginalized faculty “socialized for success” may createpatterns of inequality [17]. Blair et al.’s study showed that STEM faculty members were notequipped to help disrupt current patterns of gender inequalities in STEM majors [17]. In relationto the Summer 2022 REU, we used interviews with women-identifying students to examinewhether faculty and graduate student mentor interactions contributed to or took away from asense of belonging in the Summer REU. Not only do negative student/faculty relationships playa role in determining the success of women STEM majors, but also women STEM major’spositive or negative interactions with their men-identifying peers. Another barrier to success that women majoring in STEM fields experience
characteristics of preparedness levels?To answer our research questions, we qualitatively analyzed semi-structured interviews with fiveundergraduate chemical engineering students at two different universities. We situated our studyin the Professional Pathways Model (PPM), which uses Sampson et al.’s Cognitive InformationProcessing Theory [24] as a lens for Eccles et al.’s Expectancy-Value Theory (EVT) of studentachievement motivation [25]. EVT has now become Situated Expectancy Value Theory (SEVT)which keeps the core concepts of EVT but recognizes situations within context [26]. However,PPM preceded SEVT so we retain EVT terminology. The PPM provides a comprehensive viewof the knowledge, values, and ability beliefs that students bring to bear in making

They advise theneed to take a posture of humble learning to create relationships with Indigenous peoples.“Benevolence can be experienced by Indigenous people as relationally oppressive”, it is essentialthat one seek the perspective of the recipient” (9, p.101). In this qualitative study, interviewsrevealed that an understanding of native people, their culture, and their historical background iscrucial and that respect is not shown only through words but also actions. What sets benevolenceapart from humble action is the foundation of a relationship. It is all about having a relationshipfirst.Andrade, M. S.

is so necessary to make financialdecisions, research has shown that in the United States knowledge of financial concepts isuniversally low, although we are not alone or an isolated case [3, 13]. This lack of knowledgehas been seen to correlate to ineffective financial behaviors both in the U. S. and in othercountries [3, 4, 5, 14]. This has not gone unnoticed and leaders and policymakers in the U.

and theirdevelopment, it is also sought to see how this methodology helps all types of students,including those that they present problems to associate with their peers due to variousreasons and that the coffee break is beneficial for all students equally. It is sought toanalyze these data to implement a new pedagogical design for the traditional exams in thefuture and evaluate it; managing to implement the coffee break in different courses in thefield of engineering to broaden the study and create guidelines for the incorporation ofexams with coffee break.References[1] S.

Participants followed the following steps to complete the task: 1. Each participant orders the required parts. 2. A conveyor belt delivers the parts to the parts table. 3. Participants must move their ordered parts from the parts table to their craft table. 4. Each participant assembles the toy car, following the instructions above the craft table.The assembly task involves participants combining multiple subassemblies into the final product(Figure 7).

experience was developed. The work described here is basedlargely on local experience. More needs to be done in drawing from the experiences reported byothers to improve this model of operation.ConclusionsTo meet a specific need for our department and our students, the author piloted a program toallow one instructor to teach groups of students simultaneously on two campuses. This programwas started prior to the COVID pandemic. After it became possible to return to the classroom,development work continued. At this time, this method of instruction has been brought to a levelwhere courses can be reliably offered at two or more locations simultaneously by a singleinstructor.Bibliography[1] Nozaki, S., & Clippinger, D., & Liao, Y., & Study
approximating a sleep cycle. With a newset of experiments, Jenkins and Dallenbah showed that morning learning fades exponentially with time;however, a few hours of sleep stabilize the memory of what is learned at midnight.Sleeping prevents forgetting. In a university setting, sleep is the resource most often in short supply, soit is gratifying to learn that more is better, but too much sleep, i.e., >10 hours are detrimental.Here is a simple model of how sleep works. In Figure 1, the lower curve shows the circadian cycle(Process C), the sine wave of light as a function of time. Evolution has attuned our bodies to want sleepin the dark hours and to be awake when we see blue sky light (wavelength 470nm). The upper curve(Process S) shows the

on research accomplishments using thetraining that they received in the spring. The project for the fall semester was to design and conducta new experiment. To do that, students (in groups of four) were tasked to review the literature toidentify research gaps. The objective was to help students frame experiments’ objective(s) toaddress identified research gaps. The students identified potential design problems, participants,required data analysis, and coding methods for the experiments. The students were responsible forrecruiting and bringing the participants to a design studio. In the design studio, the students couldobserve and record how participants solve the design problem. Then the students analyzed the dataand communicated their

The results of these systemic issues in STEM learning environments have far-reachingnegative ramifications for both current and future experiences of students of Color. For example,in 2018, the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) reported thoseunderrepresented in STEM comprised just 24% of science and engineering (S&E) of totalbachelor’s degrees, 22.1% of all master’s degrees, and 13.6% of overall S&E degrees.
