The phases of the project include: 1) Gaining graduate studentperspective for structuring graduate student engagement in PROTEGE, and 2) Developing a planfor involving graduate student perspectives in PROTEGE moving forward. This work is beingled by a graduate student working in the collective, who has experience with doing equity workand wanted to find a mechanism to give graduate students a voice.With community engagement, by involving community members in the decision-making andoutcome-production process, they can feel more invested in the results of the work and feel asense of

Five of the classes included labs and 10 of the 12classes traditionally had closed-book, closed-notes quizzes and exams. After the switch to onlinelearning, all 12 of the classes used a blend of synchronous and asynchronous lectures, videos,and office hours using Zoom, and just two classes remained in a closed-book and/or closed-notesformat for quizzes and exams.CE1412

Even in current day UnitedStates, professions like structural engineering have fewer female and minority industry leadersthan those that are White Caucasian male [1], and the same follows for academics in this field.As a result, many faculty members have limited exposure to the notable published works,projects, and other contributions of under-represented individuals to share with students.Historically, entry to professions in the built environment have been riddled by barriers due togender, race, and class.

They then played a game to simulate the openmarket of allowances and see where emissions improvements were and were not made. Studentswere then asked what changes could be made to the game (and, by extension, to the Cap-and-Trade Policy) to encourage equity.The senior Capstone class experienced a broader inclusion of social justice in their classcurriculum. From the start of the quarter, students were told they would need to include a socialjustice analysis as part of their Capstone project report. This analysis was required to includemeans

To develop the survey and interview instruments, we developed a pool of memes andgraduate student oriented advice columns then used thematic analysis to identify 9 thematicquestions about the graduate student experience. For this work, the data set was abbreviated toconsider only the 3 most salient topics. We found that students generally disagreed with thenegative themes identified and that memes tended to exaggerate these features of graduatestudent experience.
