IKC Value rubric was used to code thestudent reflections. The results of the study demonstrated that living in the learning communityand studying the concepts of intercultural competence while interacting with students of diversebackgrounds allowed the students to develop interculturally. Also, engaging students in guidedreflection helped them to reflect on the intercultural skills that they developed through constantinteraction with peers that requires efficient communication among the team members. Similarly,in another study by Swartz et al. [13], students were challenged to collaborate internationally withstudents from three different countries during a 6-week project to increase their interculturalcompetency. The results of the study

Northern University’s TJ Smull College of Engineering, students take afirst-year engineering sequence: Foundations of Design 1 (ENGR 1041) and Foundations ofDesign 2 (ENGR 1051). Both courses are hands-on, project and team based courses with units oncrucial aspects of engineering design (e.g., test plan development, data collection and analysis,ideation, and more). Broader impacts of engineering design and decision-making is also a focusof the class, and the vehicle through which LCA has been introduced into the curriculum. In creating the LCA module, the research team, consisting of a faculty member and threeundergraduate research students, examined previous course inclusion of broader impacts.

success. A program website was developed (https://www.sdsmt.edu/first-generation/) to house program information and the scholarship application. Application to theSD-FIRST program required a complete application form, a letter of recommendation from amath or science instructor (high school or college level), an essay discussing the applicant’sinterest in science and engineering, career goals, and school, community, and other activities thatdemonstrate leadership potential, and a completed FAFSA. The program was advertised throughseveral venues: media outlets, communication with accepted first-generation students, andpromotion through local high schools.

BehaviorStructure (FBS) ontology for design [8]. The preliminary analysis of the task-based imagingresults points to neural differences in posterior parietal integration regions between function,structure, and behavior, which did not significantly correlate with learning style, likely duecurrent sample size limitations.DiscussionOur exploratory study findings suggest that learning tendencies (toward being an exemplar vs.abstraction learner) and their neural correlates may contribute to susceptibility to fixation. Thispreliminary finding, if confirmed with a larger sample, lays the foundation for a fullerunderstanding of fixation related to an individual’s learning style. The project is ongoing withfurther data being collected to produce a larger sample
communities increases satisfaction and overall success[1]. Our project focuses on three facets of building communities: cultural responsiveness,drawing on family support and connectedness, and building student cohorts [2, 3, 4]. Culturalresponsiveness, which includes building community and a sense of belonging, has shown tobenefit students in many areas, such as satisfaction and academic success. Culturalresponsiveness benefits students and families from all backgrounds, including all socioeconomicbackgrounds, geographic communities, ability groups, genders, religions, etc., by 1) promotinginstructional practices that accommodate and affirm student differences; 2) prioritizing students’academic development; 3) building educational environments that

The purpose of this paper is to share how a structural mentoring hub for BIPOCxcontingent faculty in engineering was conceived and designed. While the mentoring hub is yet tobegin, the authors believe that sharing their conception process, that led to an NSF-funded project,can better support others to create similar types of initiatives at their home institutions. The 1mentoring hub, called Raíces (or roots in Spanish) Institute for Transformative Advocacy (RITA;Figure 1) is anticipated to start later
of giving agency to students to offerfeedback to each other throughout the life of a project. However, it can be hard to abstractindividual contributions to team progress in project-based learning. The more complex theproject, the more functions the team performs, resulting in overlapping roles andresponsibilities [25]. A key factor here is allowing sufficient time between assessments forfeedback to be implemented, allowing members the chance to revise their strategies [16].Some of these challenges can be addressed through the use of templates, such as IDEALS[26], that provides a comprehensive assessment schema for team activities. The involvementof facilitators and teachers also needs to be considered, particularly the amount ofintervention
(science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) into each unit through a “real-world”engineering design challenge. The curricula employ engineering challenges that engage andmotivate students to apply newly learned principles to an engineering design problem. Thecurriculum aims to support student autonomy and competence needs by giving studentsstructured opportunities to make choices in an engineering design project. The goal is thatintegrated STEM will motivate students with varying interests because of its variety and supportfor their sense of autonomy, choice, and competence. This study will investigate a pedagogicalstrategy that asks students to anticipate the learning they need to engage in to prepare forimplementing their engineering

The result ofthis first ITL activity is an Excel spreadsheet with courses and corresponding equity data.To analyze these data, we relied on institutional dashboard data developed and supported by the universityand available campus-wide, an example of commitment to closing equity gaps using evidence and aprocess that is sustainable. If this type of tool is not available in your institution, we suggest building one,and Power BI is a wonderful option for doing so.

University-Corpus Christiwere affected during the COVID-19 pandemic and were moved online. As a result. most labshad to be modified to allow students to take them remotely and even today many courses stillhave online sections at Texas A&M University-Kingsville. To support online or off-campuslearning, students would be able to check out an IoT kit. The IoT learning kits provide theopportunity for remotely learning students to engage with hands-on learning. Thus, students gaina better understanding of IoT concepts and technologies and how they might be integrated intotheir capstone projects. The assignments reported in the rest of this paper provide an opportunityfor students to learn how to incorporate IoT and are part of IoT related research

In the broader context of education and overall student confidence andachievement, it is shown that, “the families of academically successful students view their family as asource of mutual emotional support and connectedness” [5].This connectedness is provided by quality time, emotional support, approval, reassurance in times ofdistress, clear communication, and collaborative problem-solving. Taking these factors into consideration,the benefits of incorporating an intergenerational aspect into an engineering engagement project becomeclear. Workshops and projects, directly and indirectly, generate many opportunities for collaborativeproblem-solving and teachable moments.
