persistence.Theoretical FrameworkStrayhorn [6], [7] built on Maslow’s [8] hierarchy of needs to argue why it is needed in collegeexperiences related to student learning outcomes. Pilcher [13] extended Strayhorn’s [6] sense ofbelonging work and applied it to a review of the literature in online learning spaces. Our paperexplores the intersections of Strayhorn’s sense of belonging and related concepts, online learningspaces, and STEM courses, specifically in engineering classes.Seven assumptions guide Strayhorn’s [6] theory of sense of belonging: 1. Sense of belonging is a basic human need. 2. Sense of belonging is a fundamental motive, sufficient to drive human behavior. 3. Sense of belonging takes on heightened importance (a) in certain contexts, (b) at
that attribute the gap, at least within the contexts of high-tech andSilicon Valley, to gender discrimination [10], [27], [28]. Alternative views have alsobeen expressed. For example, it has been argued that of the three possible explanationsfor the current gender gap, that is, (a) differences in mathematical and spatial ability, (b)sex discrimination, and (c) gender differences in interests, preferences, and lifestylechoices, the third one, particularly as it relates to “fertility choices,” is dominant [56].There is much room for research to reconcile the differing views. An up-to-dateassessment of persistent gender gaps in a number of STEM subareas, referred to asPECS (physics, engineering, and computer science), has been offered by Cimpian

shouldbe the most important or the highest priority. While it seems true that the health, safety, andwelfare of the public should be high priorities for engineers, there are certain situations where itmay not be possible to hold both safety and welfare paramount at the same time. As it is worded,the code of ethics provides no guidance as to which should be given final priority in such cases.The concepts of health, safety, and welfare have been central to engineering ethics since 1935when a Society Code of Ethics was first suggested for consideration in the May issue of TheAmerican Engineer [14]. The suggested language, in this document, included health, safety, andwelfare as the second of a series of engineering ethical principles, stating, “B. (1
not feel comfortable addressing microaggressions, but Sue andcolleges [28] point out the importance in directly addressing the microaggressions. Somestudents reported being comfortable engaging the aggressors about their behavior, but oftenstudents did not have the tools to do so. This can be addressed in engineering programs byfollowing Sue and colleagues’ steps to dismantle microaggressions through microinterventionsby a)”making the ‘invisible’ visible,” (b) “disarming the microaggression,” and (c) “educatingthe offender.” To provide students who are the targets and the aggressors with the tools torecognize microaggressions, data, such as was collected in the current study, can be collected instudents’ departments.

Our research design was guidedby pragmatism, as we believe that (a) an objective reality exists but can only be encounteredthrough subjective human experience [13], (b) beliefs and habits are socially constructed andsubject to sociopolitical forces [14], (c) understanding the problem (i.e., treatment gap) andidentifying practical solutions is the central priority [15], and (d) the best method (e.g.,qualitative, quantitative) is the one most effective in achieving desired research outcomes [16].Therefore, we used IBM as our guiding theoretical
“effective” practice is considered to be one that supports and better preparesstudents, especially those designated as URM, to score higher on these “objective” measures[11]–[14]. Less dialogue has invited instructors and administrators within higher education torethink whether these instruments, the measures themselves, may be imperfect and biased. Whilegrades have a strong place in the logistics and culture of higher education in the United states(see Appendix A and B for information on American grading practices), now is the time toconsider their flaws and limitations, as well as explore new grading practices that may reducetheir inequitable impact on students who are already marginalized in STEM disciplines.In this paper, I argue that the very

goals in creating this cogen were very similar to those of a typical cogenpractice, however. Namely, our goals were to (a) embody anti-racist, feminist pedagogy in anengineering course (b) democratize class control and increase student agency over their learning(c) center the experiences of students who experience racial injustice, (d) empower students to leadclassroom conversations and direct course development. Additionally, it was important for us to(e) call attention to an important 21st-century social justice issue, (f) enable students to “plug in”to ongoing environmental movements at the university and nearby local communities, and (g)engage students in intimate, personal discussions during the era of online instruction, modeling an
