We followed links related to curriculum, minority engineeringprograms in the colleges of engineering, living and learning communities (LLCs), studentorganizations, and the like. We also interviewed “key informants” on each campus in such rolesas Associate Dean for Undergraduate Students, advisors in ME and ECE, first-year advisors,heads of minority engineering programs, and heads of student services organizations servingdiverse students. Key informants were asked, as part of a semi-structured interview, to describethe various programs that they provide to all students generally and Black students in particular,and the intended and actual outcomes of such

We then introduce the idea of smartness, using literature to discussthis construct. We include a synthesis of how smartness has been defined in literature andconsequences of smartness in classrooms.

As part of a larger NSF-funded project, we collected data about students’ perceived social belonging in the department for a calculus-based physics course taken by the majority of engineering majors and in an early programming course. Students completed surveys in the first two weeks of the semester, and again approximately one month later, after the first exam (6-8 weeks into the semester). Students reported a decrease in belonging over time. We examined whether this pattern differed for several historically marginalized groups: women, non-white

Though individuals may hold egalitarian views, they can stillact in ways that reflect an implicit bias that is incongruent with their greater beliefs and/orintentions. While literature and tests on implicit bias exist, to our knowledge, a method tospecifically gauge biases that exist in the perceptions and dynamics relating to engineeringenvironments, more directly, does not.This study introduces a novel mixed-methods approach that incorporates
