Underrepresented minority high school students describe socio- environmental factors shaping STEM persistence and post-secondary plans AbstractIntroductionThis research applies the Phenomenological Variant of Ecological Systems Theory to understandthe persistence of racially underrepresented minority (URM) youth in STEM pathways. URMyouth aspire to STEM careers at the same rate as White peers [1], but Black and Latinx studentsleave STEM disciplines at nearly twice the rate of White students [2]. As a result, the STEMworkforce does not reflect the country’s diversity. Literature reveals key

The session was collaboratively designed and delivered bypracticing engineers and educators. In this mini-session, student teams developed cost-effectivesite solutions that adhered to county area specifications. After a brief introduction to the topic,teams were provided with a site plan, sheets representing BMP options, a worksheet, and othersupplies. The activity was structured into the following steps:1. Calculate the Impervious Area2. Calculate the BMP Area3. Design a Minimum of Two Alternative BMP Solutions4. Estimate the Cost of the Selected BMP

educational experiences that meet the needs of all learners.Self-reflection is an often-cited yet underutilized reflective practice. This is due, in large part, tothe challenges inherent to making “reflection from within” a regular part of the teaching practice.For some, self-reflection is the first method to be abandoned when planning, instruction, andassessment tasks demand increasing time and effort to move the course forward. After all, thenext lesson, activity, exam cannot be delayed while an instructor stops to think about theiridentity, goals, and interactions with students. But then again, can any of these experiences befully realized as effective and impactful learning opportunities for all students in the absenceself-reflection?Another

The original plan for thisproject was to follow the middle school students in two out of the three counties from the firstproject into high school and examine how their interest in engineering was influenced by theseengineering activities. However, when the pandemic started, the outreach engineering activitiesneeded to be put on hold, and the project was put on pause. The initial approach was to wait itout and see what happened with the state of K-12 education with respect to the pandemic.However, during this time period, there were changes in school administrators, which meant thatany of the existing relationships and partnerships that had been previously established weredisrupted.
