, namely that of its impact on the students’ learning successand course outcomes.The Institute’s faculty tries to invent every year new project topics in order to give thestudents the certainty of working on a new problem that has not yet been solved by students inprevious classes. This leads to a wide variety of project topics, which thus has different effectson the lessons learned and experience gained by our students. However, all projects have incommon that the team orientation promotes the development of certain generic skills stronglyrequired by industry, like the ability to work in teams, to keep records and to meet deadlines.An assessment of the learning effect through our project-based teaching method in the contextof a comparative study
support that warrants further investigation is the relationship between ABETaccreditation standards and what the librarian can do to further help the department. Thelibrarian feels that she also needs to be better at incorporating the library student learningoutcomes and additional information literacy practices into her work. Moreover, she would liketo do a better job of working with faculty to document and assess what needs to be done.Assessment, while always an important part of any program, is something the librarian wouldlike to learn how to do better in the upcoming years which would further support the engineeringprogram and their accreditation process.

researchon higher education is lacking and dates as far as 1992 [9]. In the country, most universities offerarchitecture and civil engineering careers in separate departments with little to no opportunitiesof collaboration between both types of students. As a result, when joining the workforce, newinfrastructure professionals are faced with challenges that lead to delays and lack of efficiency.In order to quantitively assess culture within these groups of students, a study at Universidad SanFrancisco de Quito USFQ—a liberal arts, private university in the capital of Ecuador—wasdeveloped applying Hofstede’s theory of cultural dimensions [10]–[13] and using the modifiedquestionnaires proposed by Sharma [14]. The purpose of this paper is to explore the

Tracy (2010) proposes eight universal criteria for assessing quality in qualitativeresearch: 1) worthy topic, 2) rich rigor, 3) sincerity, 4) credibility, 5) resonance, 6) significantcontribution, 7) ethical, and 8) meaningful coherence. A worthy topic is one that is relevant,timely, significant, and/or interesting. Rich rigor involves using sufficient theoretical constructs,time in the field, sample(s), and/or context(s). Tracy views self reflexivity as a part of sincerity,which also includes transparency about methods and challenges. Credibility involves

Student academic performance will continue to be examined as the highschools return to in-person instruction.Research Question 1 - Does participation in engineering dual enrollment courses havesignificant impact on underserved high school students’ STEM self-efficacy and career interest?We have assessed this research question based on results of student surveys given at thebeginning and end of the 2020-2021 academic year. Looking at STEM self-efficacy, we considerthe students’ academic confidence as well as their efficacy related to STEM skills andknowledge, specifically

limitations of this work were noted, such as not measuring time-on-task. The mediananimation view times between 20 and 60 s seemed reasonable to retain student attention,however, a thorough evaluation of the duration and attention span could be an area of furtherstudy. Cognitive load design was considered by partitioning animations into logical chunks ofinformation, but no assessment has been conducted about chunking to promote germanecognitive load.Overall, examining learning analytics related to animations merits further investigations toovercome limitations of the results presented here. Normalizing animation views and view timeby step count may provide new insights across content and animation characterization, whichshould be the subject of

Shifting to a model like this may bedifficult because of academic norms, particularly in engineering, but the authors’ experience isthat it is worthwhile. Future work for assessing and improving our implementation of this modelinclude examining additional reflections about the advising experience from a broader range ofstudents as well as comparing them within and across programs and over time.AcknowledgementsWe gratefully acknowledge the work and learning of the past, present, and future studentengineers in our programs as well as their feedback which helps continuously hone this advisingmodel.

It is imperative to develop dependable procedures that explicitly documenthow data should be collected, recorded, and analyzed to minimize random influences. As aresult, we developed an interview protocol to guide the research team based on the twotheoretical constructs guiding this study.

Use connections with other organizations to increasediversity engagement and data collection. Use the P&T rubric to work across boundaries andincrease inclusivity.

for students to “wait on the world to change” in external environments thatperpetuate negative experiences for them. It is imperative that stakeholders of engineeringprograms take stock of the state of their culture and assess if the environment they havecultivated is conducive to the diversity goals they set out at the onset of every academic year.Success as we know it needs to be redefined. The markers of achievement must be expanded toinclude the nature of the experience of the student.

planning process. To that end, we are currently collecting survey data andinterview data from minority engineers (e.g., graduating seniors and alumni) who haveparticipated in an internship with either LANL or KCNSC. At the culmination of our work, wewill have conducted a psychometric assessment of previous LANL/KCNSC lab interns tomeasure their career attitudes and see (1) how these findings resonate with the employee'sexperiences and (2) how national labs differ from other internships they may have had. Soon, weplan to evaluate the alignment among minority engineers with different career attitudes,interpretations of career content, and shared internship experiences to influence their post-graduation planning process.
