Thiseducational research aims to enhance inclusion and participation in engineering and thedevelopment of a more innovative and inclusive technical workforce. This project aims to broaden participation by improving access to engineering educationand baccalaureate degree programs for underrepresented minority, low-income, first-generation,and nontraditional students. Increased transfer pathways and educational innovations specificallydesigned for marginalized communities can improve transfer outcomes and positively impactcollege affordability for students from communities not previously well served. This research isdistinct from other transfer student research in its combined focus on

In particular, teachers found that the NextGeneration Science Standards [1] practice of “computational thinking” was the best lens fordeveloping their aligned big data instruction. After exploring a taxonomy of computationalthinking in mathematics and science [2], the teachers collectively eventually settled on a core setof four computational thinking skills [3] most likely to be productive for their teaching focus;algorithmic thinking, decomposition, abstraction, and pattern recognition. This paper reports onthe variety of connections teachers developed with the practice of computational thinking, fromdata clustering as an active practice for simulating early generation of the periodic table in achemistry class

In analysis of national data, engineering students report fewer symptomsof anxiety and depression when compared to students from many non-engineering majors [1]. Thatbeing said, a concerning trend is that students who are historically excluded from engineering areoften differentially impacted by symptoms of mental health distress.

Six years lateronly 43% of those students had obtained a bachelor’s degree, 10 percentage points behind non-Pell recipients [1]. The education disparity between privileged and low-income students hasslowly been widening over the years. The percentage of first-time students who obtained theirbachelor's degree within six years has increased from 57% (in 2001) to 69% (in 2017) forstudents from families in the fourth (highest) income quartile [2].
