taught using Canvas LMS which has the capability of auto-graded quizzes. However, there were some challenges with regard to grading technical problems. Instructors have to review the technical problems or open- ended problems manually in order to effectively assess student work. On the central campus, teaching assistants teach the lab sessions and graders handle all the grading work for these first-year courses. The regional campus faculty do not have that support; hence they spend considerably more time grading than teaching.4. Assessment of course goals: With courses taught at the regional campuses, the course goals and expectations are the same as those taught at the central campus. The course goals are not assessed at the
Education, 2024 Navigating Grief in Academia: Prioritizing supports for women scholars through informed approaches1. IntroductionWithin the context of academia, the imperative to address grief is particularly salient for womenscholars They often navigate a complex web of responsibilities balancing research, teaching,mentorship, structural inequities and caregiving roles [1], [2], [3], [4]. The experience of griefcan further compound these challenges, affecting the ability to meet professional demands whilecoping with personal loss. Moreover, societal norms and the culture of overwork in the UnitedStates [5] is demanding of productivity, and detrimental to individuals having to manageemotions and uphold productivity
pick nine points inside an equilateral triangle, no three of them in a line. Prove that three of the points you picked form a triangle with at most 1/4 the area of the original triangle. What about six points? 3. Prove that you can’t arrange 100 points inside a 13 ×18 rectangle so that the distance between any two points is at least 2. 4. Prove that if you have 51 integers, you can find a pair of integers a and b so that a2-b2 is divisible by 100.Selection of peer leadersUndergraduate peer leaders guided the undergraduate participants through the workshopproblems. In the first year of PESP, peer leaders were selected by faculty for their strength inMath and CS, and demonstrated exceptional
careers to be those in technicalindividual contributor roles based on their STEM-related education, e.g. chemical engineersin the chemical industry.Additionally, we considered those that transitioned into technical leadership roles to alsobe in STEM careers on the basis that these leadership roles also require a high level oftechnical competency / credibility, make technology related decisions, and are accountablefor technical results.All others whose careers did not fit this definition, we analyzed separately.• 9 of the 22 women (40%), persisted within the same STEM profession/industry related to their undergraduate degree • higher percentage than the 1 in 3 found in other recognized studiesWithin this group:• 7 (of 9) women started

presence ofnear-peer undergraduate mentors, and the openness of the faculty mentors in creating intellectualand emotionally-supported space for the interns to experiment and troubleshoot with their ownmaterials. These elements were intentionally designed by the two hosting faculty mentors.Faculty Mentor 2 mapped out experiments weeks in advance and provided calendars for thestudents each week (Figure 3). Additionally, both faculty met with each student one-on-oneevery week for discussions focused on social-emotional well-being and building the mentoringrelationship. Research shows that predictable routines and the opportunity to build meaningfulrelationships with mentors can promote deeper learning in students of all backgrounds, andespecially

Senior students have been informally known toguide lower-division peers, whether it is through study advice, resource sharing, or being a pointof contact. Having shared similar experiences, they can benefit the mentee by helping them avoidcommon pitfalls to be successful.In this work, we have created a novel interaction between the final-year students and the juniors.The two courses selected for this experience were Capstone Design and Process Control andSafety.

The 2020 National Science Board, “Science and Engineering Labor Force,” Science &Engineering Indicators reveals a persistent underrepresentation of Black students in engineeringdisciplines. Within this group, there is further heterogeneity, with Black students of internationalorigin often being overlooked. This study narrows its focus on these international Black studentsto understand their unique experiences better.The systemic and cultural racial biases inherent within educational institutions contribute to themarked dearth of Black students in engineering doctoral programs.

Since these resumes are intended for inclusion with a graduate school admission orfellowship application, the objective section can be excluded as well.Table 1 summarizes the demographics and “initial” resume scores for the 26 students identifiedas participants in this project. Demographics are provided here to illustrate that there were avariety of students involved in this study, including students of different genders, ethnicities, anddomestic or international status.After scoring the “initial” resumes, the 13 students with the lowest scores were invited to a 30-minute, one-on-one advising session with a graduate

This was a single track, 2-day event, 12 hours per day, and was extremely welldone. Presentations were very helpful and/or tutorial for most students. About 500 attendeesregistered, as compared to thousands for a premier IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) eventsuch as the International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP).fred harris (yes, he does not believe in capitalization of his name), the author of a well-knownmultirate signal processing textbook [8, 9], was presenting two sessions at this conference.Reference [9] was published after
arisesin the form of overwork or guilt about not working. Meme creators often frame themselves asfacing the difficult choice between sleeping, having a social life, and taking care of themself inthe notoriously little free time that overworked graduate students have. Our findings suggest thatstudents generally found this myth to be false (Figure 3). Several participants noted a temporalaspect to their experience of WLB, particularly among international students, expressing thesentiment that “in the beginning, a lot of people take things very seriously, and they, they mightwant to put in a lot of effort and take a hit on your personal life” but eventually come to theconclusion that some kind of balance is required to be sustainable.

internships offer several benefits, challenges remain. First, there is a lack ofcommunication entailing supervision, mentoring, and peer interaction [12]. In this regard, not allvirtual internship opportunities encourage or ensure effective communication betweensupervisors and student interns. Second, the number of initial investments required to establishand facilitate virtual internships may be costly [13]. Some companies may not already have thetechnology and technical infrastructure to implement virtual internships successfully for manystudents. Just as the infrastructure or capacity to cater to online education had to be built, there isa need to develop an infrastructure for the virtual internship if it would be successful. Third, notall

Political and economic relations between nations and theirpeoples will impact engineering practice in the future. Attention to intellectual property, projectmanagement, multilingual influences and cultural diversity, moral/religious repercussions,global/international impacts, national security, and cost-benefit constraints will continue todrive engineering practice.” The NAE also remarked that engineering problems to be solvedmight require synthesis of a broader range of interdisciplinary knowledge and a greater focus onsystemic constructs and outcomes [3].The need for engineers to have broader skills and knowledge in

Since then, the project expanded to start at the beginning of the semesterand run throughout the semester with a final presentation on the last day of classes. This projectallows for several learning experiences: (1) it increases the ability of students to relate to thematerial as they select groups based on interest, (2) it increases multiculturalism, as the topicswere specifically chosen to be focused on different geographic regions of the world, often with ahumanitarian focus, and (3) it allows students creative license in applying what they arelearning in the course.Active

words to find wasincreasingly constrained by the words previously found, resulting in a significant reduction in thenumber of words per member. Individual performance in Group E ranged 3-6 words per memberwith one non-contributing member as assigned for time recording. Like members in Group D,they were increasingly limited in the number of words to find, but the fact that only fourmembers were looking for words, instead of six for Group D, increased the average number ofwords per member. Individual performance at team F ranged from 2-5 words per member, wheremembers were focused on a reduced set of words to look for.In the second session, with a different group (Section 2), 35 students were distributed in groupsof six members, except one group

The preservice teachers in the treatment groupscored significantly higher in the design process knowledge test, and preservice teachers incollaborations 1 and 3 had higher scores in the engineering knowledge test than the comparisongroup. Teamwork skills in the treatment group were significantly higher than in the comparisongroup for both engineering and education students. Thus, engineering and education students inthe treatment groups saw gains in teamwork skills, while education students saw more gains inengineering knowledge. Finally, all
