inequities [1]. Several studies highlight the broader challengesfaced by this population in STEM education and higher education. For instance, a studypublished in Educational Researcher found that minority students are disproportionatelyunderrepresented in special education, including programs that could lead to STEM fields [2],[3]. Additionally, research on inclusive higher education programs indicates that students withintellectual disabilities often lack access to postsecondary education opportunities, limiting theirparticipation in fields like engineering [4]. These systemic barriers contribute to theunderrepresentation of individuals with intellectual disabilities in engineering design and relateddisciplines, further reinforcing inequities

inclusive engineering education.IntroductionThe construction of the U.S. interstate highway system—spanning nearly 41,000 miles—was amajor engineering achievement of the 1960s. However, this period of infrastructure expansionexacerbated racial inequities across many American communities. Numerous highways wererouted directly through vulnerable urban areas, predominantly Black neighborhoods, furtherentrenching segregation and displacing residents [1]. Civil engineers of the time oftenoverlooked the social ramifications of these large-scale projects - sometimes unintentionally, butat other times deliberately. Historically, engineering education has primarily emphasizedtechnical skills, fostering a disconnect between engineering practices and the

National Labs and the private sector alikeseek employees with nuclear and nuclear-related expertise, even as student and public interestremains somewhat lower than other engineering disciplines and careers [2]. At the same time, thenuclear community continues to seek a diverse workforce, knowing that diversity improves workquality and innovation across project teams and organizations. Nuclear engineering as adiscipline has also committed to, in recent years, rectifying injustices of the past, whereminoritized communities were taken advantage of

Importantly, the research training environment is a predictor ofstudents’ self-efficacy beliefs. Critical is the student’s belief that their training environmentsupports and promotes research and independence [3]. Mentorship has been found to be asignificant predictor of self-efficacy regarding general research methods, which is a componentof overall research self-efficacy for graduate students [3]. Recent research shows that peers andmentors have a “deep impact on the level of self-efficacy and persistence

, there is both an opportunity and a need to utilize this interest for innovative and engaging faculty development purposes [1]. For learning games to reach their full potential, the data produced by these games should be analyzed to make improvements to the game and assess users’ learning. Since each game produces unique types of data and requires different interpretive approaches, a universal method for analysis does not exist. This underscores the need to create a customized data analysis system for analyzing gaming data that can be used for this project and other games in the future. This paper presents an overview of the game’s design, its data collection process, the development of a customized analysis workflow, and the broader

When observing engineering students specifically, a longitudinalstudy that referenced data from nine four-year institutions across southeastern United Statesfound that students switching out of engineering most often choose to major in business or a non-engineering STEM discipline [2]. Understanding the factors that drive student attrition versuspersistence, while identifying effective resources and activities to support retention, has becomea major priority for many engineering departments.When investigating persisters versus non-persisters, one study cites factors like academicconfidence, financial concerns, and outside familial/friend influences as being

Suggested improvements includewriting programs, availability of academic resources, opportunities for peer collaboration,incorporation of AI tools, and establishment of supportive learning environments.

Specifically, we asked (1) how relevant is the servingnessframework to materials designed for a graduate program recruitment process; and (2) whatadaptations may be necessary to allow for this framework’s application to the graduate programrecruitment process context? We employed framework analysis to identify which, if any,elements of the servingness framework were represented in the showcase presentation.

IntroductionHistorically underrepresented minority students and low-income students are proportionally lesslikely to graduate with STEM degrees as compared to typically overrepresented students [1] –[3]. These groups of students will be collectively referred to as “from minoritized groups inSTEM, or MGS [students]” [4]. A possible key contributor to this gap in graduation ratesbetween MGS and majority students is belonging uncertainty [5] – [8], feelings that

Engineering Education, 2025 WIP: A Call to Action: Developing A Leadership Program that Supports Academic Caregivers Using the Kotter Change ModelIntroductionHigher education has adopted a capitalistic model prioritizing productivity and efficiency, oftenbased on the "ideal worker" with no outside obligations. As a result, academics with caregivingresponsibilities face added pressure [1]. While caregiving traditionally includes childcare andeldercare, the National Academy of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics (NASEM) defines itmore broadly as caring for spouses, dependent children with medical conditions, and extendedfamily members [2]. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, academics, particularly women in STEM,have shouldered a

The traditional grading system lacks an emphasis on program logic, style, anddocumentation that is necessary for students to grow as programmers and succeed in their futurecareers.Alternative grading systems provide ways for instructors to create a feedback loop in theirclassroom that improves the quality of student work [1]. These systems include standards-basedgrading, specifications grading and ungrading [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7] . Each of these systemsattempts to change the meaning of grades and encourage students to produce higher qualitywork.

According to Peter Senge[2], systems thinking is “a framework for seeing interrelationships rather than things, for seeingpatterns rather than static snapshots. It is a set of general principles spanning fields as diverseas physical and social sciences, engineering and management.” In all cases, applying systemsthinking makes it easier to make informed decisions by focusing on solutions that consider theroot cause of a problem rather than just addressing the symptoms.Interest in systems thinking has greatly increased in recent years with applications in

According to the National Center for Education Statistics [1], nearly one-third of undergraduate students in the United States are first-generation college students. Those with a family history of higher education typically enter college with a clearer understanding of academic demands and social integration, which enhances their confidence and adaptability [2]. In contrast, first-generation students may find themselves navigating college life with limited support, impacting their engagement and performance. Research indicates that these students often experience feelings of isolation and uncertainty, hindering their academic success [3]. They may struggle to access resources and

departments to look at engineering issues from a non-technical perspective. Thispaper focuses on the first series of courses: sustainability – both as an environmental principleand as a philosophy for social responsibility.This course sequence will be developed in part by utilizing strategies from the Engineering forOne Planet initiative to discuss how all engineers can bring sustainable principles into theirwork, such as how engineering decisions and actions can unintentionally or disproportionatelycause negative environmental consequences for communities that have historically beenmarginalized or negatively impacted [1]. However, instead of solely attempting to address thisfrom an engineering perspective, this work leans on the campus experts in
