andtechnical human capital (S&T human capital) [15] as a model to study research collaboration [1],[16], [17]. S&T human capital is defined as the sum of individual’s knowledge, skills, resources,and her professional linkages and networks [15]. With such a model, the concept of collaborationmay go beyond the state of individual partnership and include the entire research team or eventhe research field. However, even these approaches are not often concerned with the quality ofcollaboration and relationships between individuals.Indeed the nature of collaboration cannot be explored unless we go beyond the quantitativemeasures of collaboration to examine the process in addition to outcome. Kraut, et al. [18]emphasize the importance of
among construction industrystudents to a) evaluate their experience of natural disasters, b) examine the source of knowledgeof resilience on natural disasters, c) measure knowledge of post-disaster evacuation, and d)evaluate disaster preparation from university education. The study found that the population of thestudent body existed that had not experienced a natural disaster and were unaware of its impactseither on a personal or familial basis. Further, the majority of the responding students felt that theirmajor(s) and universities did not prepare them in terms of handling natural disasters and extremeweather events. Finally, a correlation was found between the location students live and a desire forknowledge about extreme weather events at

Despite grades having the very practical purpose of communicating our levelsof learning or performance achievement to both the learners and the educational system morebroadly [2], [3], when reflecting on the moments and instances in which we remember receivinggrades we likely don’t only remember the learning material or content. Intertwined with thesememories of receiving grades are likely emotional reactions - sometimes incredibly strong.

Assessment instrumentsTo evaluate if the identified teaching strategies influence social and behavioral engagement, twoassessment instruments were used. An in-class observation protocol and student questionnairewere developed based on Naibert and Barbera’s engagement survey [24], which is a slightlymodified version of Wang et al.’s survey [25]. This survey has approximately 7-10 items for eachof the four types of engagement, cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social, and these items areconsistent with the engagement definitions provided by Bowden et al. [16]. Four items for theengagement types of interest, behavioral and
engineering.ConclusionThis study described underrepresented students’ own perceptions of sense of belonging,highlighting the multiple and varied ways that students describe what belonging in engineeringmeans to them. Responses demonstrated the ways in which students described belonging asmeaning (a) having competence, (b) positive experiences in the learning environment, and (c)finding meaningful social connections. These findings, part of a broader mixed-methods study onsense of belonging in engineering students, can inform further research, helping to contextualizestudent interpretations of belonging and providing strategies to improving learning environmentsto support student sense of belonging.References[1] C.

NationalCenter for Education Statistics (NCES), many university students in the United States are non-traditional. Despite these challenges, non-traditional students excel because they understand thevalue of a college degree in today's job market, particularly for certain engineering disciplineswhere a degree is required. Hispanic/Latino(a) students are often non-traditional and face unique challenges andobstacles in their pursuit of their degree. Hispanics/Latino(a)s are more likely than otherdemographic groups to work while attending college [2]. The high rate of labor forceparticipation among Hispanic/Latino(a) students can be seen as an example of intersectionality[3], as it is influenced by multiple factors, including their race, ethnicity

However, a second photo interrupter couldbe added if direction is needed in the future.Motor DriverSince the voltage and current required for the motor are too high to be directly sourced by theRaspberry Pi, an additional power supply and H-bridge were used to drive the motor. A variableDC power supply that has 1.5V increments from 3V to 12V was selected. However, 4 AAbatteries could also be used.
