Findings present an adapted CSP framework for SSA,comprising 11 tenets for asset-based research. They highlight CSP’s adaptability across contexts,underscoring its importance in SSA STEM education.Keywords: culturally sustaining pedagogy, asset-based education, exemplary teaching,inclusion, transferability, Sub-Saharan AfricaBackgroundResearch shows that teaching practices that are more contextual and inclusive of students’cultural backgrounds and experiences enhance students' learning [1].

Students select a few courses in theirinterest areas and tend to be more motivated to learn the material. Faculty get students who havechosen to be there, probably smaller course enrollments, and a course of greater personal interestto them than with required courses. These desirable courses, electives, were the topic for theAIChE Education Division (EdDiv) Course Survey Committee’s Fall 2023 survey.

The optimaldesign of a capstone should inspire students and allow for creative design opportunities, butstudents should also be given the chance to fail and learn from their mistakes [2].

IntroductionEssentially all presentations of vector operations in engineering courses are accompanied by “head to tail”diagrams that illustrate the concept of vector addition or resultants. The resulting laws of vector additionare then shown - visually - to follow the laws of triangular geometry and trigonometry. While most, if notall, textbooks provide geometrically accurate figures (i.e., the illustrations depict vectors with accuratelymeasured lengths and angles) most treatments emphasize how to express vectors algebraically and toperform corresponding calculations.

Near-peer mentors are often perceived as more in tune with thestruggles of their mentees [1] and more approachable than an individual who identifies as an“expert” scientist [2]. Examples of near-peer mentoring relationships in academia include anupper-level student and a first-year student, an undergraduate student and a graduate student, or agraduate student and a new faculty member. Near-peer mentoring can positively affect both the mentor and the mentee.

for some students.This is because opportunities to practice drawing FBDs have traditionally been in the context ofhomework, using problems sourced from a textbook. This type of learning environment suffersfrom drawbacks because (1) the process of drawing FBDs is not scaffolded into discrete tasks(e.g. isolating the body), (2) the ability to practice only a particular task is not possible, and (3)feedback is not immediate. The lack of immediate feedback is a particularly important issue, asimmediate feedback is necessary to prevent students from reinforcing bad practices and has beenshown to be an important factor in learning [1,2].Although learning to reliably draw accurate FBDs is difficult for most students, women may beat a disadvantage

Other less commonly cited motivations forpursuing engineering are job prospects post-graduation, general interest in engineering, and a desire tocontribute to society. While these motivations portray a general understanding of how engineering isperceived as a job, they do not mean that they have a meaningful understanding of the profession. In fact,the literature suggests that most students do not actually understand the nature of engineering practiceupon entering a program, nor do they have any knowledge of the history of the profession (e.g., whymany practicing civil engineers need a professional license to work in the U.S.) [1-11].
