transfer into engineering bachelor’s degree programs.Dr. Heidi G. Loshbaugh, Heidi G. Loshbaugh, Ph.D., is passionate about higher education’s role in the public good. She has taught, conducted research, and served as a college administrator with a keen focus on equity. As a community college dean, she was PI for a $3.5M US Dept. of Ed. award to transform STEM education. Her implementation of math corequisite instruction led the B & M Gates Foundation to fund an ROI study that revealed the time and cost savings for students, the cost effectiveness for the college to implement the reform, and the dramatic improvement in completing college-level math for BIPOC, first-generation, and low-in come students.

IVE team members were introduced and spent time learning about and practicing elements of intercultural dialogue. This period also focused on team formation through the development of a team contract. While the dedicated intercultural dialogue sessions lasted for just the first two weeks, intercultural

. In terms of the three objectives for the research plan, the research study identified thefollowing findings: 1. Indicators of successful model implementation emerged from teacher’s feedback on how their classes changed through their use of the NEIR model. The changes observed by the teachers included: a. Projects that engage student in problem solving and the design process rather than kits or high structured activities b. Examples of how the teachers use NEIR in the classroom c. Classroom activities that required collaboration among all students, which included changes to classroom organization d. The teacher’s role in the classroom changed from providing answers and
