The notebook must include code blocks for numerical computation (solving) and the following text blocks (in any order) o learning objectives o problem statement o mathematical equation(s) o an imageThe hands-on active learning exercise 2 challenged participants to apply the tools that theylearned in exercise 1 for a lesson on a topic of their choice. Participants were asked to includecode blocks, text blocks, learning objectives, a problem statement, mathematical equations, andan image because these were the most frequently used types of elements in the

What was most telling was thesimilarity between experiences of Black STEM students at HBCUs and HWIS. HWIS are oftencastigated for their racially inhospitable environments and anti-Black racism attitudes which arevisible in their practices, policies, and dispositions, both institutionally and personally. In spite ofthe overall student body and faculty “looking like them” their departments did not
, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) STEM PractitionersIntroduction Where are the gays in engineering? LGBTQ+ people have always existed, but ourvisibility in society has ebbed and flowed across civilizations. Our presence has not changed inthe U.S.’s recent history, but our visibility has increased over time [1].

traditional engineering programs arehistorically rooted in the military developed engineering education from the early 1800’s [34],[35]. Though the profession has adapted and evolved greatly over the past 200 years, with thedevelopment of new technologies and roles for engineers, little in the core engineering curriculahas changed. Many engineering education programs are already struggling to stick to the originaldesign of a rigorous and technically focused curriculum, while simultaneously attempting tointegrate the use of new engineering technology into a brief 4-5 year time frame.Understandably, there then remains little room for the integration of leadership skills and coursesinto the curricula as it is already seeking to cover an abundance of

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

Four activities were created for the event and each activity was approximatelyone hour long. The activities were run over MS Teams and each activity had a channel “A”and channel “B” to allow multiple sessions of an activity to run at the same time. Groupswere randomly pre-assigned to activities and given an activity schedule to follow. For eachsession, there were three to four groups competing. The activities that the students attendedwere Trivi-AE, Sc-AE-venger Hunt, R-AE-ce to 50, and P-AE-per Bridge Competition. Theactivities were facilitated primarily by graduate
master’sthesis students were more concentrated above the mean. As such, master’s thesis students aremore likely to associate with this factor when considering their ideal mentor. While the samplesize for the master’s student population is small, this finding still may hold true, and warrantsfurther analysis with larger samples to ensure its validity.

cultivate core interpersonal competenciesand identity. These competencies that are cultivated are essential for exercising relationalleadership. More importantly, the quality of these competencies reflects values of HILs, such asauthentic engagement and meaningful connection.The Human Interaction Lab is a powerful approach to learning that is grounded in identityliterature. This approach fills a need in the current state of engineering education: how tocultivate healthy, complex, and dignifying ways of engaging in professional community. Thisfinding has implications for engineering educators striving to cultivate not only effective, butliberating, ways of leading amongst their engineering students. REFERENCES[1] J. V. Farr, S. G.

Boone argues that first-generation students’ belongingness in reference tothese factors were higher than they were for continuing-education students. On the contrary,Benson et al.’s account of one white, male, first-generation student’s perspective on classroombelonging described how he felt faculty only resonated with how some students solved problemsand not all students, particularly those with access to skills and knowledge the student felt helacked [12].Socioeconomic background is often referenced alongside studies on first-generation collegestudents due to the general correlation between low socioeconomic background and first

solving heat transfer problems. For example calculators replaced slide rulesin the early 1970’s as the basic computational tool for solving engineering problems. A fewyears later programmable calculators became available and modules containing basic solutions toheat transfer problems were developed for these calculators. In addition, authors began toinclude sections in their textbooks, introducing students to numerical techniques for solving heattransfer problems.Prior to the introduction of personal computers (PCs) in the early 1980’s, complex computercodes were needed for numerical solution of heat transfer problems. Access to mainframecomputers and proficiency in such programming languages as FORTRAN and PASCAL werenecessary for solving
