The ambassadors plan to leverage the JEDIAmbassador Program to initiate conversations with professors in which they share their findingsand advocate for students’ educational needs. The ambassadors involved in the second researchproject will conduct a series of in-depth interviews with LGBTQ+ engineering students tounderstand the extent to which they feel safe to be their authentic selves in engineering spacesand how their experiences in CEC have

The peer-mentors were chosen from a group of students who completed a pilot versionof the SS Program the previous year. Weekly meetings between the peer mentors and theinstructors of the math and engineering courses were used to plan the following week’s SIsessions according to need. Common session types included: ● HW - Informal open-ended sessions where students met on one floor at the University Library designed for study groups. Peer mentors were in the room to answer questions and guide the SS students when needed, but did not actively lead content

Pattern recognition involves finding generalizable features acrossdifferent problems and the potential for cross-applicability. Lastly, debugging is testing for errorsand correcting them. While abstraction and decomposition are terms consistently appearingacross studies, the other components used to define CT may vary [7]. However, the central ideamaintained is that CT equips individuals with a framework for solving problems in a structuredand systematic way, regardless of the domain in which the problem arises.

Multiple tests were done using the mass set and string to replicate2D and 3D equilibrium problems.In these tests, the shaft of the pulley bent with any mass hung. This threw off the accuracy of theproblems, as the pulley wheel was pulled closer to the origin and the string was rubbing upagainst the holes in the table.

Therefore, administrative personnel may choose to offer some course releases or flexibility in the research expectations, especially during challenging times. • Academic Adviser: Academic advisors also play a critical role in helping ease some of the stress students might have. This is because the advisors are a gateway into the courses and hence, they can provide some guidance to students as to which course is more demanding in terms of time and effort.
