Building upon the success of the pilot year ofthe program, this study formally examines the effectiveness of the GradTrack program in itssecond year.Specifically, this study aims to address two questions: A) Does the GradTrack Scholars Programprepare participating undergraduate students for graduate school? and B) Does GradTrack assistin the professional development and sense of belonging for graduate student mentors? Toevaluate these questions, this research paper uses pre- and post-event surveys and a focus groupof mentors from the 2022 GradTrack cohort. This paper will also discuss modifications madebetween the first two years of the program. The results of this assessment and ideas forimplementation across other

Despite thispotential, civil engineering education has much room for improvement in training students on thesocial implications of engineering works, particularly how engineering can shape socialvulnerability under climate change, natural hazards, and aging infrastructure, and on the powerstructures that contribute to the generation of systematic social injustices. This work-in-progresspresents the results of the first stage of a broader study aimed at developing curricularinterventions that build social justice awareness and compassion amongst students in the LylesSchool of Civil Engineering at Purdue University.

My experience as a graduate student increased my ability to noticewhen language was affected by the desire to express competence and reflect a certain identity,two important elements in our study of empathetic disposition. Through my teacher lens, I wasable to discern shifts in speech that indicated a change of attitude or perspective at both historicaland personal levels. As someone who values human-centered research and empathetic pedagogy,I worked to maintain impartiality in my analysis through reflexivity and collaboration with theother analysts on our team to help ensure my interpretations of the data remained close to thestudents

Engineering students who implement some of the skills andcontent typically see an immediate return during the experience. The reflective final project thatthey complete once they return reinforces the awareness and skills that are a link betweenclassroom theory and concepts and real-time impacts.Through a continuous improvement feedback model, this paper also seeks to identify the rangeof content that can be refined and leveraged for various locations. Quantitative results indicatethat global/cultural skills are relevant immediately, requiring little reinforcement from othercourses. This study provides a baseline of data and

classesAbstractIn this evidence-based practice paper, we report on peer oral exams, a cross between oral examsand peer assessment, as implemented in a high-enrollment undergraduate computerprogramming course for engineers. The idea was to leverage the educational andimplementational advantages of both evidence-based approaches simultaneously. Oral exams,for instance, have been argued to promote conceptual understanding, self-reflection,communication competency, and professional identity formation in students – but theirdeployment in large classes is resource-demanding and nontrivial, stifling their broader adoption.Peer assessment, on the other hand, is highly scalable and affords students many potentialeducational benefits of its own, including the
