If possible,multiple trips per school year (perhaps one fall, one spring) would help bring in more students. Itis difficult to comment on benefiting underrepresented students, as Duke (as are most colleges) isexpensive. Some students were attending simply to see what college life was like, while othersmay be specifically thinking about Duke as their post-secondary education.

, emphasizing theimportance of predictions and discussions with peers before viewing the simulations.The following research focuses on the perception of students facing a physics course for thefirst time, implemented with an active methodology based on Sokoloff and Thorthonmethodology called Interactive Lecture Demonstration [14], which has been modified.Despite the modifications made to this methodology, which can be found in the literature,there are few reports on students' perceptions of these modifications. Therefore, we aim toanswer the following question: What is the perception of non-physics major studentsregarding the modified ILD?Didactic methodologyThe didactic methodology used in this study is the Interactive Lecture Demonstration (ILD)by
their peers without disabilities [7, 8]. Students with disabilities must oftenspend more energy than their peers to negotiate physical, cultural, and bureaucratic structures ofthe university to effectively access the curricular and co-curricular resources necessary tosucceed.Our work addresses this vital need by heeding the call of the Research in the Formation ofEngineers (RFE) program to explore the “development of identity as an engineer and itsintersection with other identities” [9] by using grounded theory to understand how students withdisabilities develop (or fail to develop) professional identities. Moreover, because practices andexperiences can vary widely across fields, particularly with respect to physical and cognitiveexpectations
problem of retaining students in a program of study in engineering has long beena problem for engineering educators…Roughly fifty percent of the students who begin inengineering leave the field before receiving their engineering degree [1].” According toAnderson-Rowland [2], the enrollment of minority freshman in engineering had increased morethan six fold during the 1980s and 1990s. However the attrition rate for freshman engineeringminorities was still high. Moreover, after five years of study, the graduation rate for minoritystudents (African American, Hispanic American, and Native American), is much lower than thatof non-minorities.

cultural change surrounding gender.Gender in EngineeringEngineering has been described as a hegemonic, masculine culture [1]. Societal and interpersonalgender dynamics, a lack of role models, and lack of community in the field can cause women toalter their gender presentation and sense of self or to leave ‘feminine traits’ at the door in order tofit in [2]. It has also been documented that women in engineering experience a slowerdevelopment of engineering identity and a diminished sense of belonging [3]. LGBTQ+ peoplein STEM have reported similar experiences, including a rate of closeting that is double thenational average for all LGBTQ+ persons, and report higher levels of harassment anddiscrimination than their ‘straight’ peers [4].

majorconsiderations for student persistence. Additionally, several studies have found that students aremore reluctant to leave an institution after joining a campus organization [7]. Social connectionsallow students to “bond with other students to achieve a common goal,” such as completing theirdegree program [8].Additionally, non-academic factors like social support (level of social support a student feels theinstitution provides) and social involvement (extent to which a student feels connected to thecollege environment, peers, faculty, and others in college, and degree to which a student isinvolved in campus activities) positively affect student retention [9]. Therefore, it is importantthat students have a variety of opportunities to engage with peers

Four original case studies were developed using the Herreid(1997) definition of the components for a good case study used in the sciences.12, 13 TheNational Center for Case Study Teaching in Science (NCCSTS) model recommends several keyfactors for developing a good case.12 These are: 1) the case tells a story; 2) it focuses on aninteresting-arousing issue; 3) the case is set within the past five years and can be real or fictionalas long as it is factual; 4) it creates empathy with the central characters; 5) the case must havepedagogic utility; and 5) the case is short. Cases submitted to NCCSTS are peer reviewed andpublished in a database. Table 1 lists the four cases and tour developed for the educational studyto be used in the laboratory

to calibrate and compare their own progression through their degreeprograms to the progress of their peers. As implied by curricular flowcharts (another importantartifact), the default progression for engineering students begins in the first semester with Calc1, proceeding onwards through the math sequence and ideally completing the required coursesby the fourth semester of their undergraduate careers. Consequently, students classified as notready for Calc 1 who start at Pre-Calc in their first semesters are already “behind” their peersfrom the start of their college experiences while students who place into Calc 2 or 3 their firstsemesters are “ahead.” Feeling behind rather than ahead can be potentially detrimental to studentattitudes and
from both supportivefaculty and peers (p. 879).Professional IdentityAccording to Chickering and Reisser, a foundational component of one’s overall identity iscompetence, most relevantly captured here in one’s professional identity [19]. The Communityof Practice (COP) [20] model is a widely adopted framework in the professional identityliterature that has been useful in understanding engineering identity (e.g., [21-23]). TheCommunity of Practice model consists of members of a professional community who surround acore of practicing experts. Belonging in this community is experienced through three modalities:imagination (i.e., how can I see myself as a member?), engagement (i.e., how can I participate inthis community?), and alignment (i.e., how
