This means promoting identity development within and outside of the classroom byinvestigating the teaching and curriculum as well as advising and support changes needed to supportLatina students in these fields. In addition, this means empowering college leaders to act as catalysts ofchange and community building in order facilitate a multi-prong approach to enhancing engineering andcomputing identity development for Latina students.To fully embody this vision will

engineering students through community building (Evaluation) AbstractOver the past twelve years, the ESTEEM program, funded by the NSF S-STEM, at University ofCalifornia Santa Barbara (UCSB) has supported 161 low-income undergraduate students inengineering. This paper emphasizes the students’ changing needs and what they foundsupportive over time with a special focus on the shifting needs for community building before,during, and after COVID-19 pandemic remote learning. Without additional support, low-incomeengineering students, who often reflect additional intersecting minoritized identities and are morelikely to be the first in their family to attend college, leave the field at

However, recent initiatives, such as thecollaboration between a group of student biomedical-engineers, have begun to shed light on thepotential benefits of such partnerships. Through interviews with the students and faculty involvedin the research, the paper aims to extract generalized feelings and insights into the experience ofcross-institutional collaboration. The findings reveal that tribal colleges are underutilized, and thatcross-institutional relationships can be highly beneficial in terms of education and development.This paper concludes that cross-institutional collaboration should be more widely promoted as ameans of enhancing the education and development of diverse communities

Their model was developed to help students on academic probationand included a combination of workshop/classroom interventions and a novel advising model. Italso moved beyond looking at retention solely as a measure of success for a program butincluded the examination of changes to student attitudes, aspirations, and abilities.

This can be considered the “demand” for construction managers.Since entry level construction management positions require at least a bachelor’s degree inconstruction management or a related field, most “supply” is generated by constructionmanagement graduates. It is recognized that not all construction management job opportunitiesare for entry level positions.
