Recognizingthe key role startup support plays in recruitment and retention, the research team has initiated adetailed assessment of startup offers to STEM faculty at Mason. Startup support is a keycomponent to faculty success, with a recognized range of models for this form of support [1].White women, women of color, and men of color are underrepresented minorities (URM) in manySTEM fields, particularly at the faculty level. A vast amount of research has shown that there aresystemic barriers and disparities to URM faculty in hiring, promotion and tenure, service, teaching,research and salaries [2]–[4].

Education, 2023 Work In Progress: A Novel Approach to Understanding Perceptions of Race Among Computing UndergraduatesINTRODUCTIONBlack, Native American, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and Latinx undergraduates remainseverely underrepresented in computing [i.e., computer science (CS), engineering, andinformation systems] [1]. This is often attributed to student-centered, deficit-based factors suchas a lack of access to K-12 computing courses, culturally relevant role models and curricula, andsense of belonging. However, research notes how racial “othering” in university courses,departments, and cultures from peers, faculty, and staff negatively impact them [2]–[4].Shifting national conversations around race, racism, and anti

Likewise, recent scholarship draws attention toFrankenstein’s role in engendering critical reflection among scientists about social and ethicalaspects of their work [2]. Despite, however, the novel’s potential to speak to ethical dimensionsof scientific and engineering practice, some instructors have encountered difficulties successfullyintegrating Frankenstein into an undergraduate engineering curriculum; and students havestruggled to appreciate the novel’s value to their professional development as engineers [3].Nevertheless, the novel’s capacity to address ethical aspects

In the MENA region, war will likely erupt due to a water shortage [1], [2]. Whilethe current crises in the region are because of oil, it is predicted that future wars will beinevitable if the water crisis is not solved [2], [3]. This is because three-quarter of the land massis arid, and most water sources originate outside the region [3]. Among other things, water crisesin the region have resulted from the mismanagement of available water, lack of optimization ofwater irrigation systems, increasing water demand, decreasing groundwater table
