Isabel noted that addressingmarginalizing behaviors done by peers is out of her control, but she felt that she controls herability to study and remain focused on her end-goal of graduating with an engineering degree.Isabel believed that the deficit perspectives of Black and Brown students were part of everydaylife, something that they would need to get used to while at college, and especially throughouttheir career. Our theme of “Marginalization is just part of Life” also aligned with findingsreported by Wolfe et al. [10]. For example, in Wolfe et al.’s work, exclusion based on race
campus. Perhaps the most relevant and revealing findingfrom the study centered on the social and academic impacts of having direct, face-to-faceinteraction with both peers and instructors. Students noted that this factor led to higher levels ofengagement and academic success, while providing the necessary opportunities to build andsustain relationships with peers. Attending class physically helped curb the negative and damagingeffects of isolation and served boost their overall socioemotional health. Future studies willcontinue to examine the long-term effects of learning in isolation, how students learned to copeduring difficult circumstances, and how faculty members work to accommodate student learningneeds.REFERENCES[1] Russell, S.

As process safety consists of a complex range of topics, shorttutorials are found on the SafeChE initiative site to also help faculty more easilyintegrate these Safety Modules into their course(s).In this paper, we discuss the findings from an assessment done to determine the impactof students engaging with the SafeChE Safety Modules regularly throughout corechemical engineering courses. Specifically, a survey was created to determine if theSafety Modules achieved the following goals: • Emphasizing how process safety is a professional obligation of a chemical engineer • Increasing how often students think about safety • Increasing student confidence in completing

Courses outside of the traditional EE curriculum also have the potential to introducesociotechnical content [15], [16]. In a study of interdisciplinary engineering education, Hoopleand Choi-Fitzpatrick [15] developed course materials for faculty to explore the intersection ofdrones and society. Similarly, Huang and Reddy [16] designed a robotics course module for anelective robotics course to promote critical thinking about the ethics and social implications ofrobotics [16].Module Description Inspired by Lord, Przestrzelski and Reddy’s [1] module about conflict minerals andPolmear et al.’s [13] ethics and societal

Moreover, researchers couldinvestigate the long-term effects of using Minecraft on the development and application of theseskills in real-world contexts. Overall, these directions could help identify the most effective waysto utilize Minecraft as a tool for developing these skills in students and support the continuousimprovement of educational practices in the field of construction engineering.References[1] S.

The S-STEM survey indicated no statistically significantchanges in interest in or attitudes towards STEM. Program coordinators felt this was probablynot the correct program metric instrument considering the population involved and the brevity ofthe program.

When we compared the control group to the treatment group (grades and creativityscore), there was no evidence that the treatment group’s performance was better than the controlgroup. Based on these results alone, and due to the small sample size, it is unclear if the use of arobotic hand directly impacted student performance.
