efficacy, COVID-19hindered many students’ ability to allocate time for studying and well-being in the same mannerthey had prior to the pandemic, partially due to the way it “distorted [their] flow of time” [4].Students recorded the effects of this alteration in time diaries, writing that “the effort put intoclass feels more intensive yet yields much worse results”, and even when they could completetheir work, “it takes much longer” [2]. These responses suggest that students are no longer gettingthe expected returns from their time spent studying.

Feuerstein defines the role of the mediator (or agent) asfundamental to promoting cognitive changes in a student. A teacher, a parent, or anadvantaged peer can fulfill this role, depending on the objective of transformation. Themediator must have maturity, experience, and the ability to organize, reorder, group, andstructure the stimuli or information the student receives based on a specific task or goal [26].This means that the agent mediates between the world and the student (subject), transformingthe stimuli the student

To bettersupport students' professional identity development, we must understand what motives, values,and experiences across the curriculum contribute to its construction.This study reports on our recent interactions with instructors, alumni, and students of anEngineering Science program. The data was collected through interviews and focus groups thatallowed us to understand how each group of participants understood the role of engineeringdesign education. The data analysis showed us that to have a nuanced understanding of thepurpose of design courses, we need to ask students to reflect on how they connect their designexperiences to their professional identity through reflective writing

This was possible because of the high-level of faculty engagement in writing andsecuring grants that are targeted to enhance program capacity and student learning through varioussupport mechanisms (e.g., NSF S-STEM, NSF IUSE, NSF INCLUDES). Faculty were encouragedto pursue these educational grants and were supported by the institution through grants office andby providing some release time from teaching and other service activities.Targeted Faculty

specifically looking at STEM disciplines. Despite anincrease of students at the center of merging underrepresented identities enrolling inpost-secondary education institutions, their involvement in STEM programming is stilldisproportionate to straight, cis, white, peers [5]. As educators, we often think about the ways in which a student’s educational experience thattakes place many years before a student enters the workforce or a post-secondary institutionimpacts these graduation and employment rates in the STEM fields. The National ScienceFoundation Report on Science and Engineering Indicators (2018) demonstrates that thediscrepancies in STEM fields regarding gender begin before students leave high school.

UG faculty provided pairs of student names which they deemedas complementary, while CU faculty did the same for groups of 3-4 students. These UG + CUgroupings were combined to form teams of 5 or 6 students. The program was held entirelyonline, and the official language was English.

The fearedattrition was minor, with only six students (~3%) dropping the course after the pivot to online.The most significant change was eliminating the team project and introducing two individualprojects. This change was made to avoid possible problems with teamwork in light of the pivot toZoom, such as hampered communication, team members dropping the course, or difficultysharing hardware.

The IMPACT program paired Black engineeringfaculty with primarily White emeriti faculty for career-focused mentorship, networking, andadvocacy. Mentees were primarily recruited from the Academic and Research LeadershipNetwork, a database of minority STEM faculty; the mentees mainly selected their mentors, butnone held a previous formal relationship, nor were any located at the same institution. Thementoring matches were based on the specified goal of the mentee, such as moving into adepartment chair role or seeking grant-writing support, but not disciplinary or demographicmarkers as is the traditional mentoring match rationale.

The course includes moderate-intensity active learning, with 1 hour of lecture, a 2-hour studio, and 2-hour lab each week. Dataon student perceptions and performance from the most recent offering of the course in Fall 2022are presented. A large number of students were batch enrolled into the course in summer 2022, butthen subsequently withdrew early. The students who dropped had lower math confidence, lowerself perceptions of science and math ability compared to their peers, and lower STEM identity,compared to students who remained in the course.

Team-based assignments contribute 55% of the overallstudent grade, with individual assignments making up the remaining 45%. While assessment has beenidentified before as a challenge for studio models, particularly in assessing individual studentcontributions, each team and individual assignment is graded on a rubric developed for the capstonecourse as a whole, enabling consistent grading across both the traditional capstone students and thestudio students [12] [15, 16].

Through a micro-view, these technologies have the potentialto affect change by making processes more efficient or cost-effective. When taking a macroperspective, engineers can alter how society interacts with the world around them.
