lessonslearned for developing open educational resources.Project OverviewThis section contains details of the project execution, including descriptions and objectives for thetwo phases: (1) Development of the OER textbook, and (2) Incorporation of student problems.In the first phase, developing the OER textbook, an internal university grant of $1,000 was awardedin April 2020, which allowed for an adaptation of existing material. Rather than create an entirelynew textbook, OER statics and physics textbooks were adapted. A research student was hired inthe fall of 2020 to support the creation of the OER, using the Pressbooks platform. The studentwas recruited based on their performance in the Fall 2019 Statics course with the facultyresearcher, for their
performance in STEM fields [10]–[13]. Wai et al. discussed the consistency ofheightened spatial skills in those who excelled in STEM domains but recognized that spatialability is often overshadowed by mathematical or verbal skills when predicting success in STEMfields [3]. A 2019 study by Veurink & Sorby found that students identified as “low visualizers”who took a course specifically designed to improve spatial skills ultimately performed at thesame or higher levels on a spatial ability assessment when compared to students who hadinitially higher spatial skills but did not take the course. Also, students who took the spatialability course were more successful in their first attempt at introductory engineering courses thanthose who did not take

impacted women students’ SoB and ASC.1. Introduction and BackgroundGender imbalance in computing programs is a persisting issue not only at Farmingdale StateCollege (FSC), but also at the national and international level. The authors have taken a multi-faceted approach to balance the gender gap by running multiple support programs at FSC moreconsistently since fall 2019 [1]. This paper focuses on the intervention of providing womenstudents with an opportunity to attend an overnight, women in computing conference. Preliminaryresults from the first in-person overnight mixed-gender field trip in spring 2022 were positive [2].This paper evaluates the impact of the second in-person overnight trip, that was limited to womenonly in spring 2023.Enrollment
