Dr. Patterson’s work in the educational field began as an elementary level inclusive special educator. She is committed to preparing educators who take up a critical lens to working with children and best serving their needs while seeking ways to deconstruct inequities woven into the US’s existing public school system and structure. To this end, Dr. Patterson serves as a co-coordinator for the newly (2020) established Social Justice in Education minor available to students across the University.

Tanner [11] proposes the use of metacognition to help students learn to learn.In addition to these student-responsive curricular developments, [12] recommend the inclusion ofdisciplinary concepts at an early stage for academic survival, retention and success. Theyadvocate that classrooms should include active and interactive learning in order to help studentsdevelop an understanding of core disciplinary concepts.The current study builds upon these recommendations for student-centered curricula that areintroduced at the early stage of the program, and that actively engage students to develop abilityand commitment.Research Design and MethodologyThis research hypothesizes that negative impacts such as attrition and delays in graduation

Furthermore, it isimportant to highlight not just how HBCUs have made their impact and strides in educationalsuccess, but also the underlying mechanisms that detail why HBCUs are able to produce suchcases of excellence in STEM. Therefore, this paper details the development of a surveyinstrument designed to uncover success metrics of Black students that majored in engineeringand computer science programs at HBCUs and have successfully transitioned into, or completed,graduate school. Survey development was built around the aims to 1) advance the contemporarytelling of the HBCU undergraduate experience as a pillar for
atcontinuous improvement of the mechanical engineering curriculum. Correspondingly, the resultsmay be considered anecdotal at best. Because the authors are all capstone design faculty, thereis an element of member-checking involved in the synthesis of results. A more robust process toensure trustworthiness of the results was not undertaken. Second, the results may be biasedtoward a positive impact of the Intro to ME course on student performance. As discussedpreviously, the mechanical engineering program implemented the Intro to ME course to bringthe CME Design Process forward in the curriculum and allow for greater practice and repetitionprior to the capstone design course in the senior year. Correspondingly, faculty may tend towarda confirmation

practice to enhance learning. This is appropriate as action research isconsistent with engineering design. As with design, action research is a nonlinear,systematic process that requires reflection [20]. Involving students as participants and byengaging in transparent communication with them regarding the process and goals willserve to enhance student learning. By undertaking this work through action researchinvestigators and participants engage in opportunities for discernment and discoverythrough a shared set of experiences and goals [19]. Since action research is undertaken inan atheoretical framework, making sense of results may require subsequent work andquestion-specific theoretical frames. This process, when appropriately approached

Ultimately, the two sets of collected data will allow us to create a holisticinterpretation of mentorship at our institution, allowing us to reform our mentorship programswhere necessary to improve the experiences of both students and faculty. More so, the finalstudy will ideally serve as a model for other institutions conducting research and reforming theirmentorship programs so that all students across all institutions will have the best mentoringexperiences possible.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank the participants for taking the time to share their experienceswith and perceptions of mentoring.

Teachers were urged to discuss ideas with their mentors and with the PI and graduate students. Teachers were encouraged to make choices, i.e. to complete a mini-project that was not completely “canned,” but rather refined in collaboration with the mentors and with each other as a team. The mini project was designed to transition teachers to practice what they learned in training in Weeks 1-2 and was not the same problem as their research project. Each team of teachers (from the
.(2011, para. 3) concisely argue: technical writing is usually not the same as scholarly writing, and scholarly writing is required in most research-based writing projects, such as theses and directed projects. As opposed to being concise, to the point, or having the data speak for themselves, scholarly writing relies on analysis, synthesis, and logical construction of a proposition with appropriate support. Technical writing is generally designed primarily to transmit specific information, while scholarly writing is designed to underpin the creation of new knowledge.Thus, the way in which technical communication programs approach teaching writing—along with debates on whether or not technical writing
