Asearly as the eighth grade, first generation students have low expectations about their ability toattend college [1

The STEM education world took note of Prensky’s observations and began to discuss waysto meet the needs and thought processes of digital natives. In 2004, the National Academy ofEngineering (NAE) published a report entitled “The Engineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering inthe New Century”.

The voluminous literature on molten salt reactors mostly dates to the 1960s era. Notably,in the U.S. the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory was an 8MW(th) reactor that was designed primarily to study the technical feasibility and safety of usinga molten salt based fuel and coolant. In addition to demonstrating the practicality of a moltensalt reactor, the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment also addressed issues of on-line refueling, fuelmakeup, and salt chemistry.

Causal loopdiagrams are similar to concept maps in that both show how one concept is connected to another,but they are different in that causal loop diagrams “depict how changes in one concept are linkedto changes in another,” [28, p. 1]. In their study, Rehmann et al. [27] examined causal loopdiagrams that built upon the rich pictures created by student teams.

The last, or sixth, item was also rated on a 5-pointscale, however ranging from 1 (Never) to 5 (All the time). Our choice for these six items wasinformed by our review of extant research studies on Black students in STEM and engineering,which are overwhelmingly qualitative in nature. We were also motivated to curtail the number ofitems included in the Student-Faculty Interactions (SFI) scale, and more generally our surveyinstrument, given the influence that time commitment often has on survey dropout andcompletion rates (Kanekar, Sharma, & Atri, 2010; Nair, Ataseven, Habermann, & Dreyfus,2016).

Course instructorsmay change as well, but the documentation can assure that there is continuity from one year tothe next.
