Introduction Background: With funding from the Department of Education, Canada community college and San Francisco Sate University have collaborated to offer research internship experience to the under-represented community college students. This program has been conducted for several yearsnow and every year it impacts close to 20 community college students. The community collegestudents are selected for this program based on criteria of diversity, technical background, and fit.The program covers four disciplines of Electrical, Computer, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering.In each discipline, there is a faculty research advisor at San Francisco State University who

In larger groups, the gender ratio had a morepronounced impact on communication dynamics and group interactions compared to the two-student groups surveyed during the spring semester. In smaller groups, individual personalitiesand interpersonal dynamics were more evident, reducing the effects of gender ratios.Alternatively, in larger groups, gender ratios exhibit a more visible correlation with students’perceptions and experiences. The study suggests that while gender ratios have a minimal effecton smaller groups, they play a more significant role in shaping the dynamics and perceptionswithin larger group

Here we present a summer research program in which we host a selected group of students in a research lab for summer research experience and survey the impact of this experience on their educational outlook. Through a collaboration between a community college focused on education and a 4- year higher education institution offering research opportunities, we have been able to host four undergraduate students from the community college in our research laboratory in

via concept maps before and after ethicsinstruction, students in game-based sections used more words related to the “impact” of thedecision, where the students in more traditional classrooms focused on laws. So while game-basedand/or playful learning doesn’t appear to have much of an effect on ethical reasoning, it does altertheir conceptions of ethics more abstractly. And students were mostly positive about the use ofgames to teach engineering ethics overall, which can lead to higher levels of engagement andlearning. It is worth noting that we did not find much evidence to support the broader use of gamesto teach engineering ethics (yet).We also looked at the relationship between DIT2/EERI scores and how students “scored” on theconcept maps
