. Current engineering curricula are not fully equippingthem to properly deal with these challenges4-9. These concerns, growing electricity demands, andenergy market deregulation have increased the interest in sustainability, distributed generationand renewable energy systems (RES). Given the rapid progress in these areas, there are needs forprofessionals with adequate knowledge, able to plan, design and operate of such energy systems,assess and analyze energy resource potential, or to perform analytic evaluation of their impactson power systems or environment1. Education, training and learning are important aspects thatin taking the necessary steps to reshape our way of living into a more sustainable one. Time isrunning short therefore special

we planned to prepare the students for the jigsaw session, but dueto scheduling conflicts, we held the jigsaw in the recitation period directly following an exam.To avoid burdening students already anxious about an exam with the need to additionally preparefor this activity, we decided not to announce the session prior to class. Students were tasked withexplaining their subteam’s work to students from other production phases. We asked them toshare the following in their jigsaw groups: • Update of important findings • What was important to know for your particular phase? • Why was it important for your design?At the end of the jigsaw session, we elicited anonymous feedback, asking the students to writewhat they’d like to see

In the post WWII era, higher education researchattended more to student veteran issues than to student veteran experiences. These issuesincluded the larger impacts of G.I.

system in California was established by the 1960 Donahue HigherEducation Act, better known as California’s Master Plan for Higher Education [1]. The structureof the system is in three tiers- the state-wide University of California (UC), the regionallyorientated California State University (CSU), and the locally focused Community Colleges (CC)[7]. Each of these systems has a different enrollment criterion: the UC system being the mostselective and the CC system open to all students who are at least 18 years old or a high schoolgraduate. As established in the Master Plan, the goal of the UC system is to award bachelor’sdegrees to the top 12.5% of high school graduates and the CSU has a target of 33.3% of thepopulation [7].As largest university

others.People form friendships with individuals who resemble them, and individuals coalesce intosocial groups on the basis of common attributes [14]. Furthermore, group identification predictsself-stereotyping. People apply the group’s characteristics to themselves or apply their individualcharacteristics to the group, downplaying differences they may have with group members [15],[16]. As a result, people often feel positive emotions, such as solidarity and unity, whenembedded among similar people.To compare the predictions made by the application of ODT at the individual level (ODT-I) withalternative theories, we planned two self-report studies. These studies have small sample sizesand thus only constitute a preliminary investigation.Study 1The first

The student outcomes included spatial organizations (floor plans), visualizations(elevations), and basic detailing (sections). One observation was that BIM provided a logicalapplication to an otherwise unscientific design journey. The studio assessments werequalitative. This created some apprehension as the grading appeared subjective. The assessmentwas based on a qualitative relative grading system [27, pp. 434-435].

We found nonsignificant, single-group differences inassociations within the model (i.e., Latinxs vs. Whites); however, intersectional differences werefound. Specifically, we found contextual differences for Latinx engineering students (i.e.,differences between Latinxs attending HSIs and PWIs). These results suggest that interventionsaimed at broadening Latinxs’ participation in engineering need to be tailored for Latinx studentsubgroups.IntroductionThe National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Strategic Plan identifies developing a diverse STEMworkforce as a key objective [5].
