The program distributed technical informationabout atomic energy in various formats – paper, microfiche, microopaques. - and receivinglibraries were tasked with making these materials available to the public [1]. While there wassome overlap with AEC material distributed via the Federal Depository Library Program(FDLP), the majority of items – hundreds of thousands of titles – were distributed only via theAEC depository program.

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

The primary factor moving forward in theindustry is reducing carbon emissions as environmental issues such as global warming continueto rise. Global warming is a growing problem, and carbon emissions are the main contributor tothis issue [1]. Carbon emissions profoundly affect the environment, primarily through climatechange. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas (GHG) that traps heat in the Earth’satmosphere. Earth needs greenhouse gases to keep the average surface temperature abovefreezing.

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

There is also no limit to the types of simulation thatcan be run (dc operating point, transient, ac analysis, dc sweep, small signal transfer function,and noise analysis).

Fall2024, with 1,726 in Engineering alone [1]. With so many students, it can be challenging toadequately meet the breadth of needs and wants across the student population. The authorsbalance this by taking a cost-benefit approach to assessment. Broadly, we consider an eventsuccessful not just based on attendance, for that can vary greatly between small and large events,but also time and cost for developing these events. For low-investment programs, single-digitattendance is celebrated, especially in first iterations of events. For high-investment programs,success is measured relative to the work and cost of the program.The core mission of this work is to increase graduate students’ sense of belonging as part of thevibrant, large campus experience
