Jul 28 Great Ideas for Teachers and Students: Mindfulness Practices for Engineering Students Tracey Carbonetto, Eileen Grodziak and Laura Cruz The Pennsylvania State University Engineering students benefit from clarity and focus while taking challenging classes.Engineering instructors employ various methods to cultivate focus through self-efficacy usingpractices intended to establish confidence and reduce apprehension. Lack of focus and clarityinterfere with an engineering student’s ability to learn especially when instructors are utilizingmethods to promote otherwise. Students in first-year engineering courses may be apprehensiveabout the decision to

are generally mindful to consider the unique challenges faced by students fromunderrepresented groups and how students’ backgrounds and identities affect their academicexperiences. However, because the majority of our students are straight, white, cisgender males,advisors may be less aware of how their backgrounds and identities affect their academicexperiences. Although unintentional, treating white male engineering students as our “standard”students and students from underrepresented groups as our “special” students further normalizesthe white male standard in engineering education. This complex subject should be explored from a variety of perspectives. However, withthe goal of improving advising practices this GIFTS paper will focus
