, severalparticipants mentioned "giving back" to those who helped them excel in their career paths.Interestingly, their "giving back" is achieved by empowering other students like them to keeppursuing their degrees and use all the opportunities LSAMP has provided them. The fact thatLSAMP's structure is based on Tinto's theoretical framework gives us a better understanding ofhow it empowers Hispanic students to complete their STEM studies, thus improving their SES.Future work might consider expanding the population to include other research areas and not belimited to Hispanics in STEM fields.Similarly, in Study 2, quantitative data of student transcripts reported that students that graduatedat or in less than 4 years transferred on average more credit hours

The simulations indicated propylene toxic as well asexplosion-affected areas. Results from these simulations can help identifying neighborhoodcitizens who will be susceptible for the effects of propylene leak in different directions anddistances for varying wind speed. This analysis will help to identify the neighborhoods in termsof distance who are susceptible to quick evacuation and who can evacuate later. That meansevacuation level and preferences can be decided by this analysis. This analysis will

In this context, Computational thinking (CT)refers to a set of cognitive skills derived from fundamental concepts in computer science and hasincreasingly been integrated into K-12 curricula across the globe [14, 15]. Still, there is a lack ofconsensus on CT terminology, especially for young learners. Some categorize CT intodimensions like concepts, practices, and perspectives [16], [17], while others do not [18].

High self-efficacy fosters resilience, goal setting, and better academic outcomes,while low levels can lead to demotivation, feelings of inadequacy, and increased dropout risk,especially during the first year. Analyzing students’ GPA is vital for understanding first-yearretention, as it serves as an early indicator of academic performance and identifies students atrisk.

Family members were “motivational” or supportive by providing words ofaffirmation especially when students were facing challenges.
