My peer mentor helped me connect better with the engineering program community. 5. I plan to continue studying engineering at Anderson University next semester.Questions 1 and 2 were aimed at assessing the peer mentors and were used as part of thegrading criteria as displayed in the rubric shown in Table 1. Questions 3 and 4 addressed theusefulness of peer mentors in connection to campus and adjustment to college life (RQ1), andQuestion 5 addressed retention (RQ2).To directly assess retention outcomes for RQ2, retention to semester 2, 3, and 5

These assessments usually had 2-3 questions, were closed book, but open notes. Thisoffering also included a group project, similar to the previous year.During Spring 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused an unexpected change in the courseformat. The initial plans were identical to Spring 2019. Instead, the course was a partial flip forfirst half, then online asynchronous the second half of the semester.

Professionals Advisory Board (YPAB) was formed with the mission to support theKentucky Science Center’s Mission of “encouraging people of all ages to Do Science in Engaging,Educational, and Entertaining Ways to Inspire a Lifetime of Learning.” Specifically, this boardwas formed to implement strategies to make KSC an asset to young professionals age 40 and under.This YPAB has been responsible for planning and assisting in the execution of events that wouldbe of interest to an adult audience. The targeted events by this board in 2022 were all under the“Eat, Drink, Do Science” series, with individual themes that differentiate each event.2.3 Eat Drink Do Science Event Series Planning for “Eat, Drink, Do Science” (EDDS) events was the primary goal of

focused on K-12 CS education in which girls are participants in the studies?. We chose to use an existing, publicly-available dataset of 800+ articles and examined studies in which only girls were participants (n=51), then examined each of the 51 articles to determine which key CAPE component(s) each covers. Our pilot results show that CSER among girls covers areas related to Experience (92%) and Capacity (59%), but little to no coverage in the areas of Access (0%) and Participation (2%) of girls. To answer the primary research question and determine the feasibility of using CAPE for analyzing the entire corpus of 800+ articles (which is the next step in our research plan), we evaluated feasibility
