focused on high-level feedback in order to receive a high percentage of studentresponses. In addition, the orientation sessions have only been offered a handful of times whichis another contributing factor to limited data. The intent at this stage in the project was to use thesurvey results to gather some high level feedback from student participants to help determinestudent impressions of the event and, more specifically, what aspects of the orientation resonatedwith the students the most.It would be worthwhile to conduct a more expansive long-term study to follow-up with thesestudents to investigate the overall impact of the orientation session on their first-year experience.In addition, it would be informative to survey students who did not

Paper ID #32809Critical Analyses of Representation and Success Rates of MarginalizedUndergraduate Students in Aerospace EngineeringDr. Corin L. Bowen, University of Michigan Corin (Corey) Bowen is a postdoctoral researcher in the College of Engineering, Computer Science and Technology at California State University - Los Angeles, where she is working on the NSF-funded Eco- STEM project. Her engineering education research focuses on structural oppression in engineering sys- tems, organizing for equitable change, and developing an agenda of Engineering for the Common Good. She conferred her Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from

It also looks at these influences through the lens ofpositive emotional engagement or how students feel as they engage in their studies with theintention of identifying strategies that can help international students thrive in their engineeringstudies in the U.S.MethodsQuantitative research methods were used to analyze ordinal, Likert-scale data from surveysdistributed to undergraduate engineering students. This study is part of a larger, single-institutionresearch project that evaluated the connections between various forms of support (from faculty,TAs, and peers) and multiple forms of course-level engagement (attention, participation, effort,positive and negative emotional

Grades are based on a weighted averageof two statics exams (40%), one dynamics exam (26%), six quizzes (18%), and two projects(16%). Students must earn a minimum grade of C in the course and at least a 70% exam average tomove on to follow-up courses that require Engineering Mechanics as a prerequisite. Over the pastfour years, the overall passing rate for this course is 72%. The average passing rate was 70%,78%, 70%, and 68%, respectively, from 2017 to 2020.For the fall semester of 2020, the enrollment in the two sections of the course were 45 and 33.

Paper ID #28475 Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, introduced Changing the Face of STEM at the Na- tional Academy of Sciences (NAS) in Washington, D.C. URU returned to the NAS for its third engage- ment on June 10, 2019, where Emery unveiled the ”You Can’t Be What You Can’t See” Virtual Reality Project, aimed at closing the identification gap for young marginalized students within the STEM realm. IN 2019, Crystal lead URU in a successful effort to became a programmatic partner of 100Kin10, an organization formed in response to President Obama’s call during his 2011 State of the Union address to train 100,000 new STEM teachers in a decade. Emery believes that perseverance, faith, and trusting in a

Finally, the last author and PI on the project is aprofessor in the mechanical engineering department and thus had access to student listservs fromwhich to recruit students. Selecting students in this way therefore represents a combination of bothconvenience and purposive sampling, as is common in qualitative research [18].According to our screening survey, 17 of the participants used she/her/hers pronouns and 19 usedhe/him/his.

Instructors now had theability to use the copy and paste function to speed up the correction of common errors anddecrease the time spent grading and organizing paperwork. The feedback provided throughonline corrections also enabled more clarity for students as a well-developed, detailed responsetextbox could include a complete demonstration of a challenging algebraic manipulation requiredto solve for an embedded variable within an equation. The time demand for an instructor toprovide hand-written, high-level detail on proper use and manipulation of engineering equationsis prohibitive. However, when
