The purpose of the application packet is tounderstand the academic and personal needs of the participants. Admission and initial placementare determined holistically based on high school/college transcripts, SAT/ACT scores, ALEKS(Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces from McGraw Hill) Math placement scores,and essays (Table 1).

We developed a codebook, applied it to the data, andused thematic analysis to identify topics grouped by motif, resulting in three overarching themesrepresenting the data. With a focus on actionable patterns of meaning, the three themes are (1)Building a Supportive Community, (2) Improving Work and Academic Policy, and (3)Supporting Self-Care with Student Wellness Resources. Participants expressed their views onwhat a culture of wellness might look like and suggested ideas that they believe would bebeneficial to implement. These suggestions included aspects of

Fifteen additional codes which were not frequently reported in our data corpus but wererepresented in the literature were selected to be represented by items. To eliminate variancebetween interpretations of stress across questions, all items were drafted using a commonquestion stem with general phrasing: “I feel stress” followed by a description of an individualcode, e.g., “I feel stress about getting writing feedback from my advisor

The past decade of engineering education has focused heavily onimproving students’ development of an engineering identity, which has been shown to affectboth students path into college and how they proceed through college [2]–[6]. These resultsillustrate the importance of developing an identity; however, this development process can bedifficult.

How people experience their LGBTQ identities withinhighly technical STEM higher education settings remains a compelling yet underexplored area.STEM fields are frequently perceived as domains where personal aspects of one’s life do notmatter to the practice of engineering and science. Consequently, these fields harbor rigid societalnorms and expectations regarding the expression of different gender identities and sexualorientations [2].

A smart structure is astructure that is capable of sensing, control and actuation. These systems are able to withstandthese hazards by reacting to the environment, just like a biological body. National efforts areunderway to develop and build the next generation of smart structures. In the academic world,researchers are developing, for example, new sensing schemes (structural health monitoring) [1-2], smart dampers and corresponding controllers (structural control) [3-4], and evaluatinginnovative experimental testing methods (real-time hybrid testing) [5-6].

While, at first glance, they are capable of conveyinga lot of information, this information is not apparent unless explained by an instructor. It is clearthat these tools are designed for use by an individual already knowledgeable in geometric optics,and that they are designed as visual tools for demonstrating certain concepts rather than aseducational tools for teaching these same concepts.
