addition, integrating research into undergraduate courses allow them to conduct more meaningfulcase studies with realistic parameters, which familiarize them with the types of problems they shoulddeal with in their future career, while exercising the skills developed in the class. This approach alsoprovides an opportunity for those students who are interested to go beyond the course basics and attain amore advance knowledge about the materials thought in the class. Thus, herein, we propose ahierarchical Learner Capstone Panel (LCP) approach, which can benefit students with differentknowledge and interest levels and help them to improve their creativity and problem-solving skills.1.2 Essential Research Mechanisms for Undergraduate to Learn In
?The groups then reconvened to share the results of their first discussion. After discussing theresults, the small groups were asked to generate ideas and ways to resolve these issues. Theywere now asked to discuss: 1. What would experiencing respect and acceptance look like? 2. What could faculty change in terms of their curriculum, teaching style, and classroom management to improve experiences for students of color and women students? 3. What policies/practices in the SOE could be amended or instituted? 4. What do you expect from leadership of the SOE?Six themes emerged from an analysis of the results of the discussions. These themes, briefly,were: inadequate faculty-student relationships, prejudice and bias in student

The questionnaire alsoaims to determine their experiences in their past coursework, registered student organizations,and work experience that have helped them gain an understanding of how the concepts of projectmanagement integrate to create a successful project.

by teaching at least one graduate course per year.ConclusionTo start and maintain a successful graduate program in Technology, several factors need to beconsidered. An initial environmental scan will help the program to set a curriculum whichaddresses the need of prospective students and employers. The program needs to distinguishitself from an engineering graduate program by having courses on managerial/leadership skills aswell as courses on decision making skills, in addition to technical courses, as part of thecurriculum. A step-by-step approach in growth, by slowly expanding the program, will help theprogram flourish as the offering becomes broader and therefore addresses the needs of a broaderconstituency.

qualitative interviews withunderrepresented minority engineering students. These allowed us to explore their classroombelonging experiences and showed that classroom belonging is a familiar concept and a functionof two separate sources of belonging: academic belonging and social belonging. Academic self-efficacy, curriculum content motivation and an ability to share academic struggles with otherswere important contributors to academic belonging. Social similarity, successful teamexperiences and a general sense of caring were also considered helpful to building socialbelonging in the classroom. Implications and ideas to build engineering classroom belongingfrom this research are discussed.Key Concepts: social belonging, engineering identity
cloud optionsfor hands-on education, based on our experience with multiple cloud platforms. There are differentways of implementing cloud computing. A public cloud is owned and operated by an externalservice provider. Computing resources are allocated on a pay-per-usage basis. A private cloud isowned and managed by local institutions. Computing resources are provisioned to internal userson demand. Private clouds are highly customizable and may be adjusted to better meet the needsof local users. However, setting up a private cloud requires expertise and resources. Access topublic clouds can be set up quickly but users possess less control. In a diversified online learningenvironment, multiple cloud platforms may be necessary.KeywordsVirtual lab

Studies on racialclimates at PWIs suggested the issues were deep-seated and influential in perpetuating theadverse encounters for students of Color and persuading PWIs’ values. To much chagrin, theseconditions preserve the lack of multicultural policies and substantive practices which saturatecampus culture and translate into the classroom [8].

social import can have a profound effect on recruitment and retention.

theseopportunities to students.To help better prepare students for work in the academy, self-efficacy [2] plays an important rolein determining their confidence to carry out research. This means that students must havepositive perceptions of their abilities and capabilities in order to achieve success within the REUprogram. Self-efficacy also includes recovering from challenges and perceived failure in order tolearn and improve in their capabilities and confidence. Overcoming these challenges is key tohelping students grow in their self-efficacy around research activities such as preparing andpresenting research forums and poster sessions, working with experienced faculty to conductresearch, and integrating as a member of the research community.This paper

the faculty prioritized ensuring that our students have “anability to…create a collaborative and inclusive environment” upon graduation. Our approach tointroducing DEI pedagogy was to focus on a first-year course, Grand Challenges in Engineering(GCE), and a second-year course, Engineering Mechanics: Statics (Statics). GCE is the firstfoundational design course in the program, where ABET Student Outcomes (SOs) 2-6 areintroduced. This was a natural fit for introducing DEI concepts, since they tie well with SOs 3(effective communication) and 5 (function effectively on a team). While Statics is a less obviouschoice to integrate DEI instruction, it was an opportunity to explore innovative ways toemphasize the importance of DEI in engineering in a
