Session 3233 The One-Page Thermodynamics Course Jerry W. Samples University of Pittsburgh at JohnstownABSTRACT: While the title may be a little misleading, for those who have experienced it, this onepage may have saved their academic careers. This paper illustrates how to take a complexsubject and make it less overwhelming. Some years ago, several students who were overwhelmed with thermodynamics came insearch of help in understanding this often difficult course. Understand that this was a one-semester course that covered the lion’s share of a standard

Engineering (WISE)Program, in the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) at Arizona StateUniversity. The Scholars program aims to increase participants' self-efficacy for attending graduateprograms in engineering and to increase the visibility of women in graduate programs, therebyhelping to create a more gender-friendly environment. Self-efficacy is defined as one's belief Page 3.635.1about how well she or he can perform a given task or behavior (Bandura, 1977). The Scholars 1Program also acts as a retention program for undergraduate women in engineering. By providinginformation about career

The course has no pre-requisite however, the students neededto demonstrate a proficiency in High School Algebra I by passing the Colleges’ placement exam,required for all entering students.The course meets twice per week each for eighty minutes but there is no formal lecture or lab.The class meets for a studio session in which there will be any combination of lecture, activity,experimentation or discussion.The students are divided into teams and are told that they will work in groups during this courseas they will during the professional careers.

In addition, by the end of the project, I had learned some new skills concerning survey design and administration that will continue to serve me in my career. I have always needed help with grammar and writing. I took the time to look for ways to help my writing skills for my capstone.

Research suggests that undergraduate students,especially women, sexual and gender minorities, ethnic minorities, and members of othermarginalized groups, are more likely to experience severe mental health challenges [23], [24].Striving for a high Grade-Point-Average (GPA) can cause negative psychosocial effects,including mental strain, physical fatigue, anxiety, and poor work-life balance. A studyhighlighted the significant impact of grades on students’ mental, emotional, and physical health[18]. It also noted that grades often overshadow the learning of critical engineering conceptsneeded for post-graduation careers [18].

The interdisciplinary approach of industrial engineering integrates conceptsfrom psychology, biology, and mathematics with engineering principles, which could bridge theinterest gap among female students. As Industrial Engineering and Ergonomics are lesser-knownareas within engineering, we aim to inspire students to explore the often overlooked discipline byhighlighting the breadth and potential of Industrial Engineering in optimizing various systemswith human-centered approaches, with the goal of contributing to a more well-rounded STEMexposure.

Self-efficacy is defined as one's “belief in theirability to produce desired results by their actions” [9]. The literature corroborates the fact thatself-efficacy is generally a predictor of academic achievement and that students with loweracademic performance are more likely to drop out [2], [3], [10], [11], [12]. The decision to dropout of post-secondary school is connected to long-term economic deficiencies that affect familydynamics, amplifying inequalities in future generations [13].

In the two years since launching in 2021, the PACE program has significantly supported the at academic risk students to stay on track. Participant surveys cite the immense value of one- on-one guidance in overcoming barriers like poor study habits, lack of preparation, and stress. The at-risk population across CoE has dropped from 19% to 13% over this short period.

Another study citeda personal desire to complete what they started, being a role model for their children, and thefinancial incentives to improve their economic situation (Bohl, Haak, & Shrestha, 2017).Providing a meaningful undergraduate experience to non-traditional students will go a long waytowards enhancing
