university. Due to lack of scientific, namelybiological and engineering research labs and professor-led laboratories, undergraduate students at the college are leftwanting when it comes to these kinds of experiences. At the university level, undergraduate and graduate studentshave the ability to approach a professor and principal investigator and ask for mentorship in their researchlaboratory. Thus, allowing these students to pursue their own graduate and post graduate goals in this professionalsetting; an experience that is dire to all students wishing to become the great scientific minds of our community.In order to rectify this situation and create a more level playing field for community college students, bridgeprograms have been created in

It willoutline how this precedent, in terms of both the structure of the learning environment and theinsight generated through it, might indicate a direction by which we might not only reconsiderthe manner in which we teach, but the manner in which we educate engineers, architects andother creative professionals. Bearing this in mind, the writing is divided into three parts: partone outlines the growing financial and environmental cost of housing, which served as acentralizing muse for the course sequence; part two will describe the housing delivery processthat supported these trends and served as the primary grounds for investigation within thecourses; and part three will describe the approaches of learning and teaching

Most of these are freshman-level courses in areas of mathematics, accounting,chemistry, physics, and engineering. This makes our services one of the main academic supportresources for first-year students. With this population in mind, our vision for course support is toequip and encourage students to take ownership of their learning.To accomplish this goal, we provide students with a variety of services from drop-in tutoring, tocollaborative Peer-Assisted Learning sessions as well as MATHLab. We hire over 150undergraduate students to serve as peer leaders for our programs. These students have previouslytaken and been successful in the

The study is designed to share processes used at our institution that were, in part, basedon work previously shared by other institutions embarking on similar efforts to improve theinclusivity of their faculty search processes. We discuss the complex and controversial issuesthat arose while searching for tenure-track faculty and explain how we navigated thosechallenges to meet our institution’s goals. We also discuss the institutional, college, anddepartment-level support systems that were deemed crucial for recruiting faculty, with theirlong-term success and retention in mind
course. Many colleagues in non-engineering courses commented inteaching forums that they were not covering as much material as usual in their courses. However,those who responded with this comment, typically taught courses that did not necessarily createor provide knowledge or skills required for further success in the major. However, with the casestudy course, this is a core pre-requisite for two majors (Civil and Mechanical). This makes thiscourse a crucial first step in the students’ academic path at the University.With this in mind, the course schedule changed only slightly due to the week offstudents/instructors received to prepare for the online transition.

Her research draws from perspectives in anthropology, cultural psychology, and the learning sciences to focus on the role of culture and ideology in science learning and educational change. Her research interests include how to: (a) disrupt problematic cultural narratives in STEM (e.g. brilliance narratives, meritocracy, and individualistic competition); (b) cultivate equity-minded approaches in ed- ucational spheres, where educators take responsibility for racialized inequities in student success; and (c) cultivate more ethical future
