successful participation in theARG model is associated with student growth and development in science-related fields and a transformation ofidentity from student to professional [9, 10]. ARG participation promotes self-efficacy. ARG has been designed as a 2situated learning approach involving an apprentice-style research experience [6, 10]. The focus is on inviting studentswith potential but lacks confidence or low self-efficacy, or a sense of belonging [11]. Research on the model hasdemonstrated several positive outcomes for traditionally underrepresented students, including:a) Increased retention and participation in undergraduate computing majors [12].b) Increased likelihood of participants

The motivation for developing a freshman course came from asense of declining student interest in the electronics field; the initial objectives we had for thecourse were to a) engage with freshmen entering our program who faculty would otherwise notcome into contact with until the sophomore/junior years, b) generate interest in and motivationfor the electronics field through lab exercises and projects, as well as to acquaint students withthe topics noted above.Although we did not evaluate our objectives for increasing interest in the field, there seemed tobe another problematic aspect of students entering the program.

The participants in this URE were either freshmen orsophomores with a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.0 to 3.0, a population highly susceptible to attrition inSTEM. Approximately 97% of participants were Black or African American (B/AA), and over 73% werewomen. Assessment measures, including student surveys and interviews, indicate increased interest inSTEM research, pursuing advanced degrees in STEM

Many medical processes have been digitized in order to provide accurate andconsistent data about a person’s well being. These sorts of advancements ensure people receiveproper care for the condition they are experiencing. Following this trend, monitoring mobilityactivity using body-worn sensors provides an effective alternative to medical examinations sinceother self-measured evaluations tend to be vague and possibly inaccurate.Our project aims to digitize mobility evaluation through the use of 3-axis accelerometers andelectromyography (EMG) sensors, creating a Mobility Evaluation System(MES).

Engineering Education, 2023 GIFT: Maximizing first-year students’ ‘least effort’ information gathering habits using Information Foraging TheoryIt has widely been reported that engineers use a ‘least effort’ approach to meeting theirinformation needs.[1,2] While some have translated this as some kind of intellectual laziness,one should rather think of it as an approach embedded in efficiency. Engineers want to find justenough information to be able to make a reliable decision and then get on with their project. Thisis in contrast to the typical research-based approach to information gathering in academia, wherecomprehensiveness is more valued. By tapping into the values underlying the least effortapproach, however, one can make the case
