continuously interacting with thedifferent social and material aspects of their surroundings such that each mutually constitutes theother. For a community of practice to function, members need to mutually generate andappropriate a shared repertoire of ideas, commitments, values, ethics and memories. Thiscorresponds to earlier observations by Brown et. al14 that learning communities are “bound byintricate, socially constructed webs of belief, which are essential to understanding what they do”(p.33). The co-generation of these shared practices and purposes motivates members to developand use various resources such as tools, documents, routines, expectations, vocabulary or othersymbol systems. As these resources are continuously shared back and forth
within their departments. Subsequent lecturesincluded guest speakers, both faculty and industry, from a variety of engineering disciplines thatfocused on the challenges within their disciplines.The two-credit design course “Design Practicum”, was a hands-on design course with lecturesand labs that introduced students to relevant topics in engineering that included problem solving,team design, innovation, information technology, engineering, ethics in engineering, communityengagement and social responsibility. Online videos, lectures, and tutorials provided a "flippedclassroom" style course.Application of classroom concepts in industry: Saterbak et al.17 described an elective courseavailable to all freshman students in the School of Engineering
Relationships Student-faculty relationships play a vital role in STEM retention. The scholarship in the fieldhas extensively documented the significance of student-faculty interactions as an important predictorfor success; however, we possess limited knowledge of the nature of student-faculty engagement forLatinx students in community colleges (Rodriguez et al., 2016). In fact, community colleges havebeen attributed as the most important avenue to transferring to 4-year institutions (Jackson et al.,2013). An important way to encourage the development of student-faculty relationships could bethrough mentoring. Student-faculty relationships aid students in different ways such as self-development, work ethic, and mentorship (Gandhi-Lee et al., 2015
Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech, focuses on advancing written, visual, and verbal communication skills. Her research centers on affect theory and its application to technical communication, specifically information design. Jill studies how to enhance the effectiveness of pedagogical documents by incorporating principles from affect theory. Through her work, she aims to empower students, fostering an environment where they actively shape their communication interactions, including teamwork and ethical discussions. By integrating these principles, she goes beyond traditional methods, ensuring that students not only learn but also take an active role in shaping their communication experiences.Christian Sims, Georgia

The teachers who participated inthe surveys reported that the program had increased their confidence in research andincorporated STEM in their classrooms. In addition, the program has provided flexibility to theteachers as they start their research two weeks after the students (REUs), which required theteachers to work more at developing their teams.ConfidenceMost of the effects were seen in the teachers' confidence in producing research articles forpublication, understanding research literature, and understanding the ethical issues surroundingresearch. Teachers' confidence levels barely changed between 2019 and 2020 but increased

After the approval of the ethics board and the Vice-Provost Student of the university,we accessed and worked with different sets of students’ records. Here are the datasets we used inour analysis in this study:Undergraduate students’ registration and academic performance (2006-2021): The researchsample included data from 26,842 undergraduate students with at least one university recordfrom 2006 to 2021. In total, there were 275,233 records from these undergraduate students,including every session they have registered at the university. Twenty-four parameters describedthis research sample, but we
funding needs to be available for engineeringextracurriculars in low economic and rural school districts. To improve the perceptions of womxnand other underrepresented identities in STEM, the representation of scientists and engineers needsto be shifted in the classroom and in media. Textbooks, educational videos, and classroomexamples need to depict people with different genders, races, and ethnographies, allowing youngstudents to see themselves as engineers. Teachers need to be trained on how to avoidmicroaggressions and foster inclusivity in classrooms. Diversity, inclusion, and ethics need to beincluded in the K-12 STEM curriculum.Undergraduate education: Following changes to K-12 education, undergraduate education needsto undergo systemic
enrollment data by gender and race were available. Since this data is publiclyavailable, our research ethics board does not require research study review.Gender data was limited to the categories “male” and “female”. We will use these terms whenexamining the data, but will use the terms “men” and “women” in discussing the results in linewith our constructionist approach to gender [33]. We acknowledge that there is a difference inmeaning between these terms (e.g., male versus man), and that the dataset does not represent allgenders (i.e., non-binary).Racial data was distributed among the following categories: ● American Indian/Alaska Native ● Asian ● Black ● Foreign ● Hispanic ● Multiracial (added in 2010) ● Native Hawaiian
student-centered approach to teaching and learning. [33].ITL aligns to guidelines provided by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)[34] to establish that students should be learning engineering in ways that look like the work engineers do([4], [35]). To meet ABET learning objectives and teaching through Inquiry, students work on teams toidentify, design, and solve complex problems and to create ways to test their ideas that meet specificneeds and constraints of health, culture, environment and economics, while communicating effectively todifferent stakeholders and exercising ethical and professional judgments. ABET learning objectives arerepresentative of Inquiry and not Transmission teaching ([4], [14]). Even

This resulted in multiple iterations of the coding process with evolvingdialogue regarding the data to ensure that the analysis process maintained credibility andtrustworthiness in the substantive validation process [33]. We continually engaged in self-reflection and conversations regarding our positionality to reinforce ethical validation. Throughthese conversations, we evaluated how our positionality influenced our data analysis and tooksteps to ensure the participants' voices were centered in our minds.Table 3.

For a well-roundedand ethical education, an individual must identify with what they are learning, see the value intheir learning outcomes and acquire significant knowledge. From the perspective of an educator,self-efficacy is a critical construct that helps students progress through the curriculum by passingprerequisite courses, while self-concept drives the student forward towards achievement of agreater goal of graduating as an engineer.Table 2 consists of the variables condensed from table 1, but re-categorized into which constructthis review has deemed as appropriate.

Physics: This is the second course in the first-year engineering experience and has Intro as a pre-requisite. Many of the experiments involve rely on Python code to interact with sensors and actuators. Therefore, a solid foundation in the skills from Intro is necessary.From the population of position-of-stress participants, a stratified sampling technique was usedto choose interview candidates in three categories of decreasing

That excluded individuals whose faculty homewould have been in the college’s humanities/society/ethics or engineering education programs.Along with the Search Committee chair (Lewis), the search committee’s equity advisor andlogistics manager (Sandekian) collected and organized relevant research and materials fromcomparable searches nationwide and placed them into a shared Google Drive folder.

When coupled with the demands of rigorous academic coursework and requirements, thisperiod of development can present significant psychological challenges. Indeed, mental healthconcerns have been increasing on college campuses, as students report more symptoms of stress,depression, and anxiety [2], [3]. This is concerning given the evidence of the link betweenmental health during college and students’ academic achievement, retention, work-ethic, andsocial well-being [1], [4]. Perhaps more alarming is the fact that suicide is the second-leadingcause of death on college campuses [1], [5].Seeking help from mental health professionals is one way
