Washington. Her research interests focus on multilingual and multicultural elementary students and their teachers in relation to language and equity. Pauline is currently working in collaboration with PNW LSAMP as a research assistant on a project to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM education. The research focuses on strength and asset- based methods that aim at empowering students and work towards systemic change. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Work in Progress: Siloed Efforts and Collaboration Among STEM Equity Initiatives: An Organizational Network Analysis1Introduction In the decades-long pursuit of fostering inclusive and equitable learning

graduate degrees in Aerospace Engineering from Georgia Tech (PhD) and Systems Engineering from the University of Virginia (UVa). ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 From website to work environment: Exploring minority undergraduate engineering students’ conceptualizations of engineering careers at national laboratoriesAbstract Within engineering education, there have been rising calls for more research on thetransitional period students face leading up to graduation (e.g., post-graduation planning) andmoving into the next phase of their career. This study seeks to complement existing research byexploring the experience of students as they seek to make sense of engineering career

included if empathy development was amajor component examined or considered in the research. Many that integrated empathy did notdirectly explore its growth or development, it was more of a component considered or as part ofthe curriculum rather than the goal of the research. For example, McDonald and Pan (2020)presented feedback from graduate students on ethical considerations for artificial intelligence[49]. While this work elicited insight into prompting consideration of bias and fairness, fosteringempathy was more of an indirect outcome than the phenomena of focus. Alternatively studiesconducted in other countries were excluded since the interpretation and assessment of empathymay vary by culture depending on the societal norms and preferences

Using the online tool Assessment and LEarning inKnowledge Spaces (ALEKS), this mixed methods study explores the implementation of a university-industry, hybrid model for African American

to establish the Department at Wake Downtown. In addition, the Chair must lead faculty in their mission of education, research, and service. This charge includes working with faculty and the university to develop the Department’s vision, to articulate and implement a Departmental strategic plan, and to achieve the goal of creating an innovative educational environment for engineering students. The Engineering Chair and faculty will be expected to work together toward the goal of establishing ABET accreditation soon after graduating the first class of students from the program. The Chair is also charged with promoting the Department through alumni, donor, community, and industrial engagement. The Chair will be responsible for establishing a

for use with theMMRE. The research question was addressed with one-way multivariate analysis of variance(MANOVA). When disaggregating the groups by gender and URM status, one-way analysis ofvariance (ANOVA) was used because the bivariate correlations among constructs were low(<0.2). The participant pool was a convenience sample of 169 undergraduate students whoelected to take a lecture course titled General Chemistry for Engineers during the Fall semesterat a large public research university in the southern United States and provided informed consentfor the research. In parallel and without prior knowledge, participants self-enrolled in alaboratory course where two-sections represented our comparison and intervention conditions,one using
