The research team piloted the Group ConceptMapping (GCM) methodology to identify and prioritize actionable strategies that can guide theeducation of future engineers in addressing racial inequities in infrastructure projects. Thefindings from this pilot study demonstrate that GCM is feasible, and valuable results are likely tobe obtained from a more extensive study. A total of 15 participants contributed to GCM activitiesin this pilot study. Forty statements generated by the participants were clustered and rated by theparticipants to create concept maps to understand the importance, implementation feasibility

In addition, it aims to provide some limited evidence that theproposed methods are effective at improving students’ desire to be retained in the college of engineering until the completion of theirundergraduate level degrees. The pilot consists of two phases: the recruitment and training of potential mentors which was completedin the Fall of 2014 and the execution of a Robotics Summer Academy during the Summer of 2015.

A study focused on STEM identity among agroup of S-STEM engineering scholars who were ‘at risk’ for dropping out of STEM due to unmetfinancial need showed that peer mentoring relationships and informal peer relationships plays animportant role in scholars’ journeys into becoming engineers.

In this paper, we draw upon the National Survey of Science and Mathematics Education, the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009, and the 2021 American Community Survey to underscore a lack of access to computer science learning contexts for students in these communities. We also explore how rural out-migration is compounding this challenge, and explore the roots of the rural out-migration trend. We then examine how multiple strains of research and scholarship identify rurality as either a place-based identification (i.e., where a student is from) or a distinct social identity. While convenient, geographic-based definitions lack important nuance in understanding rural populations and tend to emphasize

In this pilot study, we conducted in-depthinterviews with 13 students from historically excluded backgrounds who were studying variousstudio-based design majors (architecture, interiors, and product design) at a public US university.Interviews covered a variety of topics and were designed to identify areas that might be worthyof further study
