B,D, G and K in the low complexity, code L, P and Q in the moderate complexity, and code S,T and V in the high complexity. This shows that 4 activities out of 11 activities in the lowcomplexity can be considered as active learning activities in the new course, which is 36 %out of 100 %. In the moderate complexity, 3 activities out of 7 activities, which is 43 % out of100 %, can be considered as active learning activities. In the high complexity, 3 activities outof 4 activities, which is 75 % out of 100 %, can be considered as active learning activities.Consequently, the percentage increases as the complexity becomes higher.

academic plan for finishing theirbachelor’s degree, and almost all students (84%) had an academic plan at least for at least the firstyear of their major program. Most (77%) students have checked their academic plan with anadviser at UWT. The most commonly-cited reason for not checking in with an adviser was thatthe standard academic plan was already well mapped out. At least one respondent reportedgetting information about academic planning from peers instead of from an advisor.Next Steps and ConclusionsTo summarize, we seek to increase: a) knowledge of engineering programs and careers, b)successful outcomes for graduation and transfer, and c) a greater sense of belonging andcommunity for our underserved and low income students.

prompts; (b) provideguidelines for effectively coding these prompts to understand how students aredifferentially engaging with the intervention; and (c) evaluate the extent to which thequality of writing prompt completion is associated with changes in motivational beliefs in aYouTube role model intervention for community college engineering students. Resultsprovide guidelines for effectively developing and coding writing prompts that target a widerange of motivational beliefs. Further, findings show that there were no statisticallysignificant associations between the quality of writing prompts and any of the post-motivational beliefs. Implications for developing more effective interventions by analyzingstudents’ writing prompt responses are

education research and engineering education research. Her work involves designing and researching contexts for learning (for students, educators, and faculty) within higher education. Her research draws from perspectives in anthropology, cultural psychology, and the learning sciences to focus on the role of culture and ideology in science learning and educational change. Her research interests include how to: (a) disrupt problematic cultural narratives in STEM (e.g. brilliance narratives, meritocracy, and individualistic competition); (b) cultivate equity-minded approaches in ed- ucational spheres, where educators take responsibility for racialized inequities in student success; and (c) cultivate more ethical future

In year one, Cohort Apiloted the PD modules in Tier 1 which featured reflective exercises and small culturallyresponsive activities to try with their STEM students. In year two, Cohort A piloted the PDmodules in Tier 2 and peer-mentored Cohort B as they piloted optimizations introduced to Tier 1from Cohort A feedback. Three types of optimizations came from faculty feedback. The firstconsidered feedback regarding delivery and/or nature of the content that influenced a subsequentmodule. The second involved making changes to a particular module before it was delivered toanother faculty cohort. The third takes into account what worked and what didn’t to decidewhich content to bring into

The overall passing rates for female students(0.51) is significantly higher than the passing rate for male students (0.44) which is consistentwith the graph.

The course grade average is calculated by converting the letter grades to anumeric value (Grades A-F ranging between 4-0) and is plotted on the vertical axis, while theages are shown on the horizontal axis in bins of two. An increase in the average student grades isobserved along with the increase in age groups. Chi-Square

While at Wright College, he was hired by the EngineeringProgram as a tutor for the Contextualized Bridge, and throughout the academic year. He alsoserved as an elected officer in Wright’s student chapter of the Society of Hispanic ProfessionalEngineers (SHPE). Within two (2) years, he completed an associate degree in engineering,transferred, and is on track to graduate. Without the Contextualized Bridge, student B would notbe currently completing his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from one of the topengineering schools in the country.Self-Efficacy as Contributing Factor to RetentionMost students attribute their success to the structure of
