Transfer-GEMS’ ultimate goal is to increase the number of transfer studentsgraduating from CEFNS with STEM majors and decrease their time (number of semesters) tograduation.In Fall 2014, 349 STEM transfer students entered CEFNS out of 2,782 new transfers to NAU. Ofthese, 26 in some way joined the Transfer-GEMS program. Fifty-seven students switched intoCEFNS during the year, for a total CEFNS transfer population for the 2014-2015 school year.This is the first cohort of three total that will be supported by the current grant, with 14scholarships to be awarded in each of

For example, thedean said that biased activities such as racist or sexist jokes were not tolerated in the College ofEngineering. Directly following the presentation, the CIVE 102 instructor indicated that sheliked the content and thought it was very relevant.Panel of Professional Engineers. Around mid-semester we hosted a panel of engineers in bothclasses. The panels informed students about engineering practice and hopefully provided somerole models to the students. In putting the panels together we attempted to represent at leastsome racial and gender diversity as well as diversity in engineering career paths within thepractical constraints
students improve their problem-solving approach?7. Do students feel more confident and efficacious in their engineering skills?8. Do students believe that they have a better understanding of what working engineers do?9. Are students more interested in, committed to, and positive about their studies and/or their future careers?Assessment instruments to address each question are being developed during both phases of theproject.Project statusThe project is currently in Phase I.

faculty. Some initial inclinations were foundduring the data analysis. Faculty tended to have the most holistic view and were able to makemost connections between different courses. The senior student held a more holistic view butless long-term and made a fair amount of connections between various courses. However, shestruggled with the balance between breadth and depth, and tried to figure out which career pathshe wanted to take in the future. The freshman had the least holistic view: lacked the connectionsbetween different courses and lacked the balance between breadth and depth.Career-Mindedness. What the students had in common was that they both wanted to take coursesthat might be helpful for their future careers. However, before they figured

In our paper, “Designing and enacting weekly micro-reflections as ameans of professional development of early-career educators: Voices from the field,” (Turns et.al, 2019) we focused on educator design and enactment of reflection activities of 3-5 minutes(micro-reflection activities). As articulated in the paper, “we asked: under what circumstancesand in what ways can engagement in micro-reflection activities during one’s teaching contributeto advancing one’s teaching?” In the project, three educators with different levels of teachingexpertise engaged in adding micro-reflection activities to weekly 2-hour classroom sessions.

Underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, such asBlack, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American, and Indigenous communities, face unique challenges inaccessing and succeeding in STEM education and careers.
