Theseissues are particularly prominent in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) fields, where many students opt to change majors due to difficulties in their programs.Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool for predicting student outcomes andhas the potential to revolutionize education. By leveraging AI, we aim to develop a frameworkthat utilizes historical student data to predict future outcomes. The predictor dataset usedincludes demographic and educational performance information of students in the Aerospaceand Mechanical Engineering (AME) program at The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP).The majority of the AME student population in this

The data shown within this presentation werecollected as part of a larger NSF-funded study qualitatively assessing themanifestation of racism within the technology industry.From literature, we know that Black engineers leave their workplaces at a higher ratethan White engineers. This is largely due to the toxic workplace environments definedby White men that are unwelcoming for minoritized people [1], [2].

students formulate as they come toidentify with various social, academic, personal, and professional groups. Simply speaking,identity is not as singular as how an individual perceives themselves in isolation from otheraspects of their personality. Often individuals project different parts of their identity asdependent on the environment and context. In doing so individuals are continuously doing andundoing their identities to suit their needs in the moment.In Science and Math Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines have turned to identitytheories as a way to identify talented individuals in efforts to fuel recruitment and retention. Tothis end, many have sought to define what it means to have a science 24; 27; 44 or
Kitchener’s model exhibited such openness.36 Engineering education scholars can begindeveloping empathy for effective collaboration among themselves, with their students, andamong their students by some combination of conflict resolution techniques, communicationtraining programs, and team-skills training.Lastly, given the growth of online education and the technological manifestations that allowinteraction by virtual media, some scholars have focused on how empathy functions betweencollaborators interacting online. For example, Nguyen and Canny72 found that empathymanifests differently in two types of video interactions. When they compared between “head-only” and “upper-body” framing, they found that the latter produced a significantly higher

, but as Tang and Nieusma’s articlepoints out, their society was not immediately supportive of the whistleblowers’ plight. Rather, ittook the advocacy of two, short-lived, dissident committees—the Committee for SocialResponsibility in Engineering (CSRE) and the Committee on Social Implications of Technology(CSIT)—with membership overlap in IEEE to codify ethical principles in 1977. The archivalresearch conducted for these two articles demonstrates that the inclusion of ethical principles inat least two professional codes was a fairly recent addition driven by the need to protectengineers and their professional societies from damaging public relations events.

/Academic Variables Related to Engineering PersistenceThe importance of mathematical achievement and preparation to engineering persistence hasbeen well documented. Seymour and Hewitt [6] posited over two decades ago that if students areproficient in mathematics and science at an early age, then this proficiency encourages them tochoose science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) undergraduate majors alongwith employment in STEM fields such as engineering [1]. Veenstra and colleagues [7]highlighted key differences regarding factors that predict retention and academic successbetween engineering majors and other majors. They found that high school academicachievement in mathematics and sciences are weighted heavily for engineering majors
found positive associations between internships and career-relevant variables. Theoretical and empirical studies indicated that internships have positive effects on engineering education. Engineering and technology students learn to gain much experience from different approaches [12]. Our findings show that internships also have a crucial effect on subsequent academic outcomes. These effects influence prior academic achievement, and they hold for both the advantaged and disadvantaged [13]. The analysis from a national dataset of 2004 seniors suggests that students who spent more time in a cooperative education program are better at ensuring that a process or product meets a variety of
