theHispanic female students at the PWI, an interview from a Hispanic female student from theHBCU indicated one situation that contained hidden language. Students at both the HBCU andPWI experienced projected stereotypes; however, the students at the PWI recalled moreencounters perceived as microaggressions. Ascription of intelligence was also prevalent amongstboth sites, and one Black female student at the HBCU explicitly recalled when ascription ofintelligence is most prominent. Students at the HBCU did not discuss examples of silence andmarginalization experiences. Table 3 Excerpts from the data Identified Identity S Quotes from

Rather, the design of the flipped classroom exercises must be intentional. The SecondAnnual Infrastructure Education Workshop is planned in May 2015 to answer the following questions,and the answers will be reported on the companion poster to this paper. What material in the current course(s) can readily be adapted to out-of-class screencasts? The answer to this question will provide an estimate of how much class time is now freed up for active learning exercises.

Using data from Taiwan, Lin and Chiu [10]found that postdoc training is associated with higher likelihood of maintaining an academicresearch career for engineering PhDs. Using data from Frances, Hanchane and Recotillet [9]found postdoc experience to be correlated with likelihood of a research career in science, but notin engineering fields. Andalib et al.’s [11] analysis of the NSF SDR data shows that compared toother STEM fields, engineering postdocs are particularly likely to leave the postdoc role beforeobtaining a tenure track position, and instead

diversity.4 The program consists of five classes,unique to the minor, that span across two academic years (4 semesters) and relies on the use ofcohort-based program structure, near-peer mentoring, and project-driven learning. The cohortstructure allows for close relationships to form, combatting the social isolation that historicallymarginalized students may feel in CS classes. Peer mentoring benefits students by offeringfurther academic, social, and professional development support within the program. Project-based learning provides strong ties to students’ major area(s) of study (primarily biology andbiochemistry) and supports students’ future success in fields that are becoming increasingly data-driven.1 Finally, the minor program courses focus
