increasing the number of underrepresented engineering students is the lackof a sense of belonging those students may feel while enrolled as a student. Previous researchshows that a lack of strong sense of belonging in higher education is a common reason for theearly withdrawal of ethnic minority students [8]. In fact, students who find few peers in theirclass—often underrepresented ethnic groups and women—“tend to feel much more strongly thatthey don’t belong” [9] so a lack of community can deter underrepresented students frompursuing engineering in the first place.The CAR Strategy is one pedagogy that intends to contribute to eradicating underrepresentationof racial/ethnic minorities in engineering. It aims to provide a framework for driving outnon

Following their interviews, an in-classdiscussion was facilitated with PollEverywhere. Students were prompted to share advice thattheir interviewee provided. One major message students received was the power of having awell-developed professional network: • “make connections and always try to keep learning something new” • “go to as many career fairs as possible so you can build your network” • “Networking and communication is SUPER important, start building your tree of contacts early” • “build

ease accreditation metric creationAbstractBackground: Research has shown that students from underserved groups are more likely topersist when they see the link between their coursework and improving society [1], [2].Simultaneously, human welfare and social impacts have become a part of accreditation protocolsfor engineering programs [2], [3], [4]. These two factors result in a need for faculty tostrategically create inclusive classrooms where students 1) are engaged in the field of studythrough application to their personal, social, and global knowledge contexts and 2) aredemonstrating proficiency on subject matter sufficient to demonstrate accreditation andprogrammatic requirements. In prior work the authors have shown strategies that exist

It allowed me to get aheadon some of my lesson plans where I can incorporate active learning strategies for the students.”The RET program also helped the pre-service teachers connect with leaders in the localeducational community. Two of the pre-service participants connected with a local middleschool to offer weekly engineering design challenges for several classrooms.ConclusionsThe RET program is very impactful to both in-service and pre-service teachers in many ways.All participants are gaining personal knowledge and skills about the research process and how touse this process

As described in full below, critical reflection has beendemonstrated as a high-impact practice that can deepen learning and cultivate a productivefuture-oriented mindset [1]–[3]. Thus, activities that incorporate reflection into projects havegrown in use and garnered increased attention in engineering education for their transformativepotential [4]–[6]. Further, consistently engaging in reflection on learning as a community has thepotential to develop environments and classroom cultures that value student growth andcommunity [7].Critical

Each group is given one copy of the question.The worksheet details the role of each group member (typically a leader, recorder, andspokesperson). The exercise is designed to take about 10 minutes of class time. During thattime, the instructor circulates the room answering individual group’s questions.
