In thepracticum course discussed in this paper, discussions about active learning approacheswere supplemented by relevant literature reading assignments. In addition, the GTAsreflected on their teaching practices and experiences to improve student learning. Thisallowed the GTAs to collaboratively analyze their implemented teaching methodologieswith their peers.

Further, weidentify several key areas where foundational engineering education research can help to highlightand shape AM as an emergent field, including opportunities for learning science, online education,and workforce development; the development of interdisciplinary and agile expertise; andconsidering belongingness

While these environments are known to be morenurturing than predominantly white institutions, maybe they have become too relaxed inaggressively guiding students towards degree completion. Until there is a shift in the HBCUenvironment (faculty interaction) on the undergraduate level, there will continue to be a lack ofgraduate level degrees offered and earned at these institutions compared to PWIs.Bibliography1.
