Using an asset-based framework, Animeshexplores the resilience, strengths, and resources of underrepresented students in engineeringclassrooms. Their commitment to dismantling systemic barriers is informed by their ownexperiences navigating intersecting identities, including socioeconomic challenges and their queeridentity. Beyond research, Animesh serves as Vice President of Projects and Programs at o-STEM,advocating for inclusive research and resources to empower queer students in STEM.

Comprehension and interest can be enhanced by dividing lectures into brief segments and correlating concepts to real-world scenarios. • Updated Resources: The learning experience is improved by maintaining a diverse and current selection of course materials. Ensuring that resources are accessible across devices and that they are updated with the most recent research, trends, and case studies can accommodate a variety of learning styles.

In contrast to the “built environment,” the publicalso spends time in the “natural environment”, especially engaged in activities like play. For avariety of reasons, the “built environment” and the “natural environment” increasingly have beenidentified as “separate”. This separation of built and natural – with humans spending a majorityof their time in the built environment – contributes to a “disconnect” between humans andnature.

The optional homework policy alone is not a sufficient assessment technique to preparestudents for summative assessments since only 44.7% of the students completed >75% of thehomework assignments per term. For Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer, students wereregularly assessed for content comprehension with weekly textbook reading quizzes so that theycould track their understanding as the course progressed. In Aerodynamics, this wasaccomplished with regularly spaced small, graded projects. If these additional gradedassessments were not done, it’s suspected that students would not properly grasp theirunderstanding of the course content because they were not provided feedback on the
