Peer-led activities have been shown to create a sense of community and increase retention of minority students [18]. Building a supportive network can enhance the academic success of these students.The findings from these initiatives will be reported at a future ASEE conference.Work Cited[1] C. Botella, S.

policyrecommendations, outlined below.The first recommendation from the task force was to offer a tenure clock or contract clockextension for all full-time faculty. Given the known impacts of the pandemic on research,teaching, and service obligations, the option to allow faculty an additional year was quickly metwith unanimous support from the task force. However, the details of how to best implement thepolicy took careful consideration. The first choice was to intentionally make the policyapplicable to all full-time faculty. UD faculty includes both tenure-track and tenured faculty(T/TT), as well as non-tenure track (NTT) faculty. These NTT faculty have full-time, renewable,non-tenure track positions, which ASEE has referred to as “professional track.” Many

indiverse fields including both the Arts and in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) classrooms [8].In recent years, pedagogical scholars are increasingly suggesting that students and society benefitfrom collaboration between STEM and the Arts [9], [10], [11]. The importance of creating asynergy between majors that focus on creativity and criticality, merging engineering design withthe fine arts, has been emphasized [12]. The term STEAM (from STEM with Arts) is now usedto characterize programs with this integration [11]. A report from 2010 by ASEE recommendsthat undergraduate engineering education should include training in communication, working inteams, and collaborating with non-engineers in real-world contexts [9].Despite the

In such textbooks, the point is often made that inhigh school most learning takes place in the classroom, whereas in college most learning takesplace outside the classroom. This important point correlates with other studies based on cognitivepsychology, which point out that the
