This paper aims to provide preliminary insightsinto TGNC students participating in this course by exploring their unique perspectives. Anunderstanding of TGNC student experiences in the e4usa course will help to improve the course,while also exposing the policies and practices in the field of engineering that continue tomarginalize these students.Limitations We acknowledge our small sample size as a major limitation of this quantitativeexploration of TGNC student experiences in a pre-college engineering course.

Employment in a bureaucratic organization is expected to be full time and long term, with opportunities for advancement—in short, a career. (p. 3)In many organizations today, such bureaucratic arrangement has morphed into more flexible and“flat” structures (see [3])—but even within those structures, with smaller manager ranks andfewer hierarchical levels, people report to people, i.e., accountability and decision-makingauthority rolls up from contributor to leader.Overall, these relationships reflect an organization’s reporting structure.

. Building on previous work, we use a dataset that includes engineering identity questionsmeasured when students were in the fall of their first year of college (collected prior to thepandemic) and re-administered to the same group of students during the fall of their second yearof study (collected during the pandemic). The survey included only those students who wereenrolled in the College of Engineering as engineering pre-majors. We hypothesize that, for acohort of college students, engineering identity will decrease after the onset of the pandemic,because such identity development is influenced by day-to-day interactions within students’engineering community and their reflections about these experiences (Carrino & Gerace, 2016).We also

Knowledgeacquisition describes how students learn skills and information that will help them perform wellin their new role as a Ph.D. student, as well as gain an understanding of what academic successentails. Through knowledge acquisition, students become aware of normative expectations of thePh.D. student role and can make a realistic assessment of their personal ability to pursue theirdesired career.

Often, tutors will answer questions directly. Theywill explain things as magic… out of thin air. Elevate attempts to minimize the distribution of“magic beans” because each time they are gifted, the student becomes more dependent on thetutor – which is the opposite of what should be sought.

However, such an approach mighthinder the development of essential skills associated with labs in engineering education.Among these skills, one might cite communication and collaboration, safety, designingexperiments, and learning from failure. Furthermore, a common critique regarding virtual labsrefers to the use of idealized data that usually does not reflect the uncertainties and nuances ofthe real world [10].

IBL hasbeen widely adopted in science education because of its great potential to facilitate more positivestudent attitudes and a deeper understanding of scientific concepts [5], [6].
