This lack of academic resources is reflective of thesocioeconomic disparity between regions. This is not surprising since URM primary and middle grade math scores are much lower thantheir White and Asian peers. North Carolina students’ average National Assessment ofEducational Progress (NAEP) math score for fourth graders was four points higher than thenational average of 240 in 2015. URMs average score was 232, eight points lower than thenational average and 21 points lower than White students. Eighth graders’ scores for all NorthCarolina students was equal to the

Above all other professions,engineering has the power to change the world on a large scale. Since I started to take my mentorship duties seriously, and I started reading aboutmentoring and visiting websites dedicated to mentoring, I realized that my vision and myphilosophy are similar in some ways to other mentors, but in some ways, they also are quiteunique. Upon discussing them with other faculty, I could see that when people write aboutmentoring they make it appear more institutionalized and well regulated but when they talkabout it, mentors emphasize the personal touch and the relationships that they developindividually

This study emphasized thebest practices of promoting teamwork with diverse students including: (1) teaching aboutdiversity, especially teaching how to respect one’s teammates and the client’s needs; (2)organizing teams to reduce conflict, balance gender composition (or have all-men or all-womenteams), and improve trust; (3) incorporating peer feedback throughout the duration of the teamand using it to mediate disrespectful interactions and unacceptable practices; (4) including a widerange of teamwork expectations in grading practices; and (5) better

The first competence that CRP teachers haveis student learning. Ladson-Billings redefined this term in 2021. She writes that it means howmuch the student grows in one scholarly period that begins in the fall and finishes in the spring-measuring this individual growth. CRP highlights this growth and avoids demerits of thestandards test; CRP considers that standardized tests do not measure other meaningful learningthat students could have acquired during the academic year.

.Student ratings of male and female instructors are likely influenced by the genderedexpectations of the rater12. Two straightforward examples of gendered expectations are thatstudents are more likely to assume a male instructor holds a PhD as compared with a femaleinstructor13 and are more likely to refer to male instructors as “Doctor” or by their last namewhen writing evaluations of their instructors14. Each of these examples shows that the status andcredentials of female faculty are discounted. Female professors may be expected to be morecaring and nurturing than male professors, given that these traits are considered morefeminine12. Even though female instructors had more meetings with students outside of classhours, students were more likely

In the first group meeting, theinstructor asked students to free-write about communities they belong to: What are thosecommunities? What defines them? Who are the members? How does one come to belong? Aftersharing, students discussed initial ideas of what it means to do an engineering project that is“engaged with a community”. Following the initial meeting, students spent two weeks reading (out-of-class) and discussing(in-class) critiques of ETH projects, including references [1], [3], [6], [7].

major for her. In engineering, where the cultural perspective is that a stereotypical student is white and male, students often have the unconscious bias that gives white, male students the benefit of the doubt, assuming they are smart and experienced. Socially, Black and brown women are stereotyped as angry or loud. Jamie’s awareness of this stereotype makes her think twice about speaking up. Additionally, disciplinary power also makes her reconsider speaking up— engineering courses are built on teamwork. If she were to speak up and was not supported by her peers because they did not notice anything happening, and her professor mentioned that she should just learn to deal with team dynamics, she
