teaching approachesand students’ experiences. Lattuca and her colleagues’ [12] research on the culture and values ofengineering disciplines demonstrated that disciplinary contexts shape faculty members’ attitudesand behaviors. Recent research explores the idea of the culture of engineering education and theneed to understand this culture before we can effect systemic change [13, 14]. For example,Godfrey [15] showed that different engineering disciplines exhibited different cultures, or“cultures within cultures,” affecting the participation of women.Our project explores the different disciplinary cultures of EE, CpE, and ME as these fieldsprovide a sharply contrasting picture of engineering matriculation, persistence, and attrition forBlack

structures.To increase students’ learning, two teaching methods were used: case studies and problem-basedlearning (PBL). These methods were well-suited for teaching prospective scientists and engineersbecause they focus on cooperative sharing of ideas as well as healthy discussion and resolution ofproblematic issues [10, 11]. PBL-structured case studies promote higher-order learning skills, suchas application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. During case study-based learning modules,students were presented with a selected case to resolve the core issue by critically evaluating theinformation they had researched. They had opportunities to find the latest developments in a fieldand associate them with most recent social issues. This approach overcame

Slide 7: Example of Skill Building Workshop • In this skill-building workshop, we focused on three key areas: critical thinking, time management, and effective communication. The session began with an engaging icebreaker where students introduced themselves and shared one personal goal for the semester, fostering a sense of community and collaboration. We then delved into critical thinking, exploring techniques such as questioning assumptions, evaluating evidence, and making well-reasoned arguments. Students participated in group activities that challenged them to analyze

included if empathy development was amajor component examined or considered in the research. Many that integrated empathy did notdirectly explore its growth or development, it was more of a component considered or as part ofthe curriculum rather than the goal of the research. For example, McDonald and Pan (2020)presented feedback from graduate students on ethical considerations for artificial intelligence[49]. While this work elicited insight into prompting consideration of bias and fairness, fosteringempathy was more of an indirect outcome than the phenomena of focus. Alternatively studiesconducted in other countries were excluded since the interpretation and assessment of empathymay vary by culture depending on the societal norms and preferences

for and importance of such connections to academicsuccess.Morrow and Ackerman found that 65% of students who leave their university depart for non-academic reasons and that academic progress and achievement are closely related to a sense ofbelonging [10]. Research has shown that one predictor of persistence in college is feeling asense of mattering and belonging [1], [37]. Commuter students are particularly at risk of notpersisting [1]. Mattering is defined as “the feeling one has when he/she feels that he/she isnoticed, cared about, needed, and valued by another person” [12] and the sense of belonging as“the perception of peer and faculty support, classroom comfort, and isolation [3], [11], [38]-[40].The challenge is how one goes about
