important role in educating URMs. The recruitment plan included threerecruitment mechanisms: 1) a project website; 2) personal emails and fliers to a targeted list ofcolleagues, and 3) advertisement on websites such as pathwaystoscience.org. A study wasperformed to evaluate the most efficient strategies for recruitment (Jiang et al., 2019a). Resultsindicated that inviting participants through direct emails to colleagues was a particularlyeffective way of promoting the program. The program attracted a diverse and competitive poolof applicants and successfully selected cohorts of well-qualified participants.

Developing reflective teachers centers onencouraging and supporting educators as they develop new teaching concepts, action research,and curriculum development in the second quadrant. The third quadrant focuses on enactingpolicy changes and strategic planning which usually occurs at an administrative level rather thanat the educator level. The final quadrant is focused on developing a shared vision among andempowering stakeholders to create an environment that fosters new teaching concepts andpractices [9]. The research tasks for this work can largely be grouped into these quadrants fromdeveloping the inclusive classroom strategies menu which aligns with the curriculum andpedagogy

the focus of existing literatureabout STEM doctoral student experiences and stressors. However, these themes are in mostcases closely related to known stressors in the general workplace stress literature and in studiesof academic culture and postsecondary student stress. To highlight these themes, we brieflyreport these stressors below.Travel-related stressors for international students. International students often spoke of stressorsrelated to being unable to travel to or from home, either due to travel bans or restrictions,difficulty getting flights, visa problems, and/or COVID-19 outbreaks. Both the uncertainty offuture plans and homesickness related to being unable to be in person with family were noted asmajor stressors for many

Due to this neglect, many engineering studentscomplete their engineering courses with the ability to solve complex engineering problems but nodesire to further explore the topics they have learned. In fact, in some cases STEM students leavetheir classes feeling that the topics that they learn about are unrelated to the real world andfrivolous. Because of this emotional response it is becoming common to see students graduatingfrom university with degrees in STEM but no plans to pursue a career in a STEM field[1].Although the Mechanical Engineering curriculum at the University of Colorado has a significantemphasis on design, all the formal design

This is after the instructor presents a briefoverview of the concepts students first learned about by watching the pre-lecture videos. Theoverview is a reminder and a lead to help students use that early knowledge to solve a problem.In phase 2 (problem solving), students arrive to a computationally assisted solution throughcareful reading of the problem, discussion with their teammates and experimentation thatinvolves learning iteratively by erring, reasoning about where they erred and why, and finallycorrecting and arriving to the solution. At this stage, the instructor and TAs walk around

In both classes, we taught the same curriculum, had the same lesson plan, and thesame group of teaching assistants. The oral examinations maintained the same format, coveringthe same topics with comparable levels of difficulty. In the second class, we added the videoassignments to each weekly homework. All oral exams were conducted over Zoom.The average oral exam scores in the cohort without video assignments (n = 31) was 7.23±1.71and in the cohort with video assignments (n = 24) was 8.79±1.28.

A novel approach to determining part temperature wasdeveloped building on the coefficient of thermal expansion experiment that they had donebefore. The temperature of the rod is indirectly determined using expansion data.The oven is first pre-heated to an elevated temperature, which becomes the ambient temperaturefor the test.
