The Writing Assignment Tutor Training in STEM (WATTS)model was designed to improve tutor confidence and student writing. In this innovative training,the writing center supervisor and STEM instructor collaboratively create a one-hour training fortutors about the assignment content, technical terminology, genre conventions, and instructorexpectations.A research study on this multidisciplinary collaborative project is being conducted to determinethe impact of WATTS on students, tutors, and faculty and to identify its mitigating andmoderating effects, assessing the elements of the model that have the most impact.

Development: A Case Study of Ego-Centric Network Analysis of RelationshipsIntroduction Unfortunately, it is not unexpected that young individuals who belong tounderrepresented and marginalized communities have limited access to a diverse network ofresources that support Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education,especially in areas like coding, innovative engineering, and project-based activities that areemerging. Studies on informal education outside of schools [1]–[3] have acknowledged thatthese learning environments can foster involvement in STEM, and their continuous programsacross various settings, such as home, libraries, youth clubs, and museums, can be essential ininitiating and

The total number of women earning engineering graduate degrees represent roughly athird or less of the total students across all racial and ethnic groups between 2000 and 2019 [5].This low diversity in doctoral degree holders impacts faculty diversity [2]. Nationally, only17.6% of tenured/tenure track faculty in engineering were female, 2% were black or AfricanAmerican, and 3.7% were Hispanic in 2019 [5].Project Description In order to address this lack of representation in higher education engineering programs,the University of Massachusetts Lowell S-STEM program began with an initial plan to recruitthree cohorts of 8 low-income, high-achieving students (24 students total) who wish to pursue acareer in

With the increasing demand for spatiotemporal computing skills in the real-world jobmarket, project-driven internships have become an important source of work experience forstudents with interests concerning geographic information systems (GIS) and related geospatialtechnologies [2]. However, while GIS internships offer benefits to college students, rarely do 2-year college students being trained in this field, even rare to see such internships being evaluated,especially during the

The main goal of theprogram is for teachers to develop an understanding of research principles, engineeringapplications, and the engineering design process. By accompanying the research withprofessional learning sessions on effective pedagogy, active classroom environments, andstudent-centered learning strategies, these teachers are building capacity to increase studentengagement.

Community MembersProject OverviewA robust and diverse engineering workforce is essential to national security and economiccompetitiveness, and current rates of higher education enrollment in engineering are notsufficient to support the need. Thus, broadening participation in engineering fromunderrepresented groups is a critical priority. To address this need, this project focuses oneconomically disadvantaged rural students. Given the unique geographic and cultural factors thatimpact rural students’ career choices, it is critical to study choice in context [1, 2]. In ruralcommunities, students career choices are heavily influenced by the people and values of the localcommunity; family, teachers, and friends, in particular, often played a key role
