Within theselearning-centers, effective retention initiatives that supported student diversity in learning thatmay require different approaches to college teaching, even in math and sciences [10]. Preliminary evaluations of students found that while most students prefer the new approaches tolearning, women and some minority students demonstrated differences in preferred learningstyles as assessed by the Myers-Briggs Inventory [5]. Additionally, when considering theexternal obstacles and characteristics of NT students, it cannot be assumed that students arelargely isolated from worldly

science of hair. In our first year of the camp, we devised a lesson onrace and hair to help students think about the ways their ancestry and cultural conditioninginfluenced their hair texture and hairstyle choices. We knew the girls would be using an AFMmicroscope as part of the hands-on learning at the camp, thus combining a conversation aboutrace and ancestry with the ability to observe differences in hair under the microscope would helpstudents connect social issues with laboratory methods. As the GAMES girls tend to be abouttwo thirds white, we also thought introducing small group and intergroup interaction would be animportant way to engage on this topic12.We began the lesson, led by Dr. Kathryn Clancy, with a discussion question: What do

Scholarship (CES) or Community Engaged Research (CER). Ultimately, high qualityCE can span all of the traditional faculty activities of teaching, research, and service. While thisis a win-win in terms of beneficial impacts, it can also pose challenges in the faculty promotionand tenure process where academia traditionally compartmentalizes these activities and research-intensive institutions place outsized weight on the importance of research. In STEM fields,fundamental research (including laboratory experiments and numerical modeling) is oftenviewed as more scholarly than applied research. CES/CER is at risk of being devalued undertraditional academic standards [5-6] given its dual purpose of real-world benefits forcommunities.CES is increasingly

The Chronicle of Higher Education hasrecently pointed to the lack of quality teaching which the public and students value but oftentimes is not a priority and not rewarded equally to research at many higher education institutions(McMurtrie 2023), ineffective use of teaching evaluation processes (McMurtrie 2023), extremecosts of higher education that keep increasing, etc. The public’s declining faith in highereducation is a concerning and a pivotal moment in the history of higher education.

Teamwork itself is a practical skill for engineers, and it teaches many othertangible skills such as leadership, conflict resolution, and communication through itsimplementation [2,5,9,10]. Lab reports are commonly used in engineering education to teach avariety of skills, including but not limited to, technical writing, communication, time and projectmanagement, and teamwork.
