To benefit sense ofbelonging and reduce chilly-climate issues that appear to impact females’ pathways more thanmales’, it is recommended that faculty development, particularly for creating an inclusiveclassroom environment, be implemented at the institution studied.AcknowledgementThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.1226586.Bibliography1 M.

: Lessons Learned From Community College Transfer Scholarship Recipients AbstractWith funding from the National Science Foundation’s S-STEM grant program, the ECASE(Engaging the Community to Achieve Success in Engineering) Scholarship at Seattle PacificUniversity (SPU) has targeted transfer students from urban and rural community colleges in theregion. For the past nine years, this program has provided scholarship and other support funds toassist these transfer students in obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering.The goal of the ECASE Scholarship is to provide pathways for financially needy, academicallytalented transfer students to thrive in the university environment, enter the workforce as well-trained

In this table, classifications A-Cwere developed by the authors to describe teaching approaches used in the DBE course thatrange from fully deductive to a combination of deductive/ inductive; D-G are based on theinquiry classification scheme proposed in Tafoya et al.7 and expanded by Staver and Bay8; andH-L are drawn from a comprehensive review of inductive teaching approaches assembled byPrince and Felder5. In general the classifications are listed left to right in Table 1 ranging fromdeductive to increasingly self-directed, inquiry-based methods. The remainder of this section willdefine each classification in the context of the DBE course.Table 1

though males rated the females’leadership competency higher comparing to the females’ ratings of males, male students stilldid not believe in the leadership ability of female students as much as females themselvesbelieve.Based on the Rowan-Kenyon et al. [19]’s study, if a female student could lead a team, itwould be useful for teams because females tend to define leading as facilitating team andhaving the responsibility toward teams. This may cause conflict with male notions ofleadership, so some instruction may be necessary to legitimize alternative approaches toleadership. In addition, the last two studies in this section proved in teams that are led bystudents, underrepresented students showed better performance. These results highlight

Briefly, during Fall, 2018, 22 sophomores, in 11 student groups, wereable to successfully perform the requested tasks with high levels of engagement, as measured bythe StRIP instrument. For the performance indicators LED Programming, ECG SignalAcquisition, Graphics, and Cardiograph Project Presentation Materials, the following studentpercentages reached Exemplary and Satisfactory levels: 100%, 100%, 100%, 45%, respectively.Thus, students reached Engineering Science Student Outcome thresholds in three of fourperformance indicators.

The research team would like explore this further by conducting a more rigorous research studythat involves improved survey instruments, qualitative essay questions, and focus groups. Moreover, theresearchers conclude that although a short activity or intervention in a course might positively impact senseof belonging, it is essential to think more broadly and deeply as to how to positively impact sense ofbelonging for our students.
