choice, involvement, retention,graduation, and even post-graduation outcomes [3-4]. These studies have explored sense ofbelonging both as an antecedent to important socio-academic outcomes, as well as an outcome ofstudents’ socio-academic experiences within the college community [5-7].Existing research often examines college students’ sense of belonging as a global construct,positioning students to respond about their sense of belonging to institutions, disciplines, ordepartments [8-9]. However, recent research suggests that students’ development of sense ofbelonging may differ across contexts in the university community [7, 10]. Thus, how one’s senseof belonging in one space on campus (e.g. a classroom) may not be indicative of their sense

programmatic improvements with the highest potential forsuccess.Introduction and BackgroundAs undergraduate programs in the United States face changes in enrollment patterns [1], it ismore important than ever to develop data-driven insights about programs’ students and thefactors that predict their academic success. For engineering undergraduate programs, this need isparticularly relevant because of cultural norms that often label students as “smart” and place highvalue on academic achievement [2], yet often subject students to challenging “gateway” or“weed out” courses that can cause students to reexamine their beliefs about themselves and theirabilities [3], [4]. Although academic performance (i.e., grades) is only one facet of engineeringstudents

Research questions that guide this project are1) how do we as a team of engineering educators apply Inquiry to advance project activities? 2) Whataspects of the proposed work improve pass rates? 3) Can development of ITL training lead to broaderparticipation in CSE within the university’s Engineering division and beyond? 4) Does effectivedissemination and communication of ITL activities increase participation by CSE Engineering instructorsto transition teaching practices to Inquiry?

Therefore, this work-in-process seeks to investigate the use ofa framework to examine the degree to industry employment skill variance, if any, betweenindustry and academic preparation and the perceived required skills that each group expects thegraduate to have mastered.Previous research used a systematic approach, such as DACUM, to integrate the perceptions ofpractitioners in the field with that of the academicians to establish the desired curriculum. Thisprocess is especially useful when the degree is designed to meet emerging new occupations orjob titles, such as the Chief Information Security Officer [2][3]. However, little research can befound that uses the

Specifically, the results have implications for developing (1) evidence-basedbest practices for industry mentors to best support student learning; (2) incentives that promotesupportive team dynamics such as team bonding activities, team charters etc.; (3) strategies thathelp student feel prepared such as technical and project management workshops; and (4)interventions that enhance students' design efficacy such as project scoping exercises, peerlearning, and frequent feedback from teammates and industry mentors.IntroductionABET requires that undergraduate

They also conveyed how their perspectives on the survey were shaped by various lived experiences, while many also
changing global economy and workforce,engineering students need to be prepared to work on complex problems within multidisciplinaryteams and design solutions with diverse social and ethical considerations in mind. To addressthis need, the Whiting School of Engineering at Johns Hopkins University initiated aMultidisciplinary Design Program. Currently, the program offers a two-semester sequence whereteams of multidisciplinary engineering students are engaged in design challenges with projectpartners from medicine, industry, or the social sector. Students are mentored through a human-centered design process to (1) conduct technical, contextual, and user research, (2) focus thechallenge, (3) ideate, and (4) prototype and test their solutions.

The online PDsession for teachers was divided into three parts: 1) an online presentation of the concepts beingtaught, 2) breakout sessions for teachers to collaborate together and solve the algorithm, andlastly, 3) a discussion of the solutions found. The teachers who attended this online PD weresurveyed afterward to provide feedback on the effectiveness of this delivery method. The studyfound that a majority of teachers responded positively to the PD and felt that the online deliverywas just as effective as the previous in-person PDs they have attended
