increased cognitive loadlimits people’s engagement [12], i.e., their attentional and emotional involvement with thetask [13]. This type of engagement is vital for students to innovate [14], [15] and to thinkcreatively [16].Muldner and Burleson [17] showed that students’ engagement differs between low and highcreative students. Likewise, Koch et al., [18] and Eldor and Harpaz [19] reported that workersemploy higher cognitive flexibility, which leads to creative performance when they areengaged. Reid and Solomonides [20] found that engagement and creativity support each otherfor student learning in design. Taken together, stereotype threat might then pose a challengeto creativity performance through distraction and disengagement on the critical task
havedegrees in education and the social sciences rather than in ECE. Also, many professional academicadvisors tend to be women in a predominately male discipline. Thus the work of academicadvising is rendered invisible through gender, social background, education, and other factors.This paper discusses the work of creating a data-driven white paper to highlight the value ofprofessional academic advising in an electrical and computer engineering (ECE) department in theSoutheast United States. A qualitative culture and climate study of the ECE department initiallyrevealed the complexity of the ECE undergraduate student’s needs beyond the classroom andidentified how the professional academic advisors were the primary caretakers of these concerns.Though
have the opportunity to choose to participate in non-required coursesand co-curricular activities via self-selection. Therefore students that participate are aware of theimportance of understanding the role diversity, equity and inclusion play in society. Thosestudents who do not seek other resources or participate in extracurricular activities are notrequired to learn about the importance of varying perspectives. There is no mandatory policy thatensures all students receive the exposure to social justice in the classroom as well as the benefitof the knowledge to apply to actual real-world scenarios. Reviewing the literature, we only know when professors incorporate DEIJ in thecurriculum. The authors have not described instances when a

that we have learned over the years in running our S-STEM program, and this isone of our best practices recommended to other directors running S-STEM scholarshipprograms. As seen from Figure 7, the number of weekly hours for off-campus employmentvaries depending on the individual scholars, and hence it is crucial that each S-STEM scholar’sacademic course load and off-campus employment hours must be checked and made compatiblewith each other every semester. During the Covid-19 pandemic, initially our scholars increasedtheir weekly work hours but later reduced those hours, perhaps because of various types offinancial help provided to the needy by the federal government during the pandemic.

oppression manifested in the teaching styles of herengineering professors. This socialization forced her to adapt to norms that left her feelinginadequate or out of place. She explains in the following: “…when I got to college, it’s kind of seemed like when professors would teach, they would – there's like, that base level and then, they'd cover the base level on like, the first day. And then, after that, it was just assumed you knew all these things and I was never learned any of those things.”Kelly admits she did not have the same educational background as other students coming into thesame engineering program when she states, “I was never learned any of those things.” Shehighlights her forced adaptation to engineering

approach is that it lacks a certain “WOW” factor1 that sparks student interest andentices engagement and active learning. Accordingly, a significant body of literature related tohands-on, design-build-test (DBT) projects has grown to address the gaps in student engagementand between classroom theory and practical implementation.2-6 The relative merits and demeritsof DBT-type projects over pre-designed laboratory experiments are discussed elsewhere;2,3nevertheless, in parsing the design ambiguities associated with open-ended DBT projects,students certainly employ some non-technical competencies such as imagination andresourcefulness. These skills are desirable in engineering graduates, but are typically notexercised in pre-designed laboratory

As opposed to file-sharing methods,the web portal is informational based such that a new user could use the site to learn aboutpertinent accreditation details.This paper also details a system that has been developed at Yale to track the achievement ofStudent Outcomes within each of the program's courses. The system takes advantage of thescoring mechanism used within each course and aligns individual assignments, exams, labs andreports with specific Student Outcomes. The performance of each student in the coursemeasures that course's contribution to achieving levels of performance for each relevant StudentOutcome. Because this method is implemented in each course, the data from the individualcourses is easily aggregated to

In addition basic power, refrigeration, and heating cycles areincluded to demonstrate the application of the fundamental concepts. The second courseconcentrates on the application of fundamental concepts and laws. The coverage includes exergyanalysis, the analysis of more advanced thermodynamic cycles, property relationships, study ofgas mixtures, psychrometric applications, combustion processes, and chemical/phaseequilibrium.Historically, the first course in thermodynamics is more difficult for the students to pass. Onemeasure of difficulty is the unsuccessful attempt rate. At UTSA all required

during theRenaissance period and the intention of capitalists in investing their wealth, came theindustrial revolution that, according to Postman, was the last hope for the miserable toconquer some well being. Money, not land, was the key to wealth. And capitalists learnedthat novelties could attract buyers. And people learned to invent for the sake of inventing,without a previous need or reason for a specific artifact. And, people gave up being “God’ssons and daughters” to become mere consumers, or markets.At the end, also according to that author, we got to the third phase, Technopoly, thetotalitarian technocracy, which began in the United States and tried to rise in Japan andseveral European countries. Some people think that this movement has
