these considerations.IntroductionPhenomenography is a qualitative methodological approach that seeks to identify the variety ofways people experience a given phenomenon 1-3. Due to its widespread applicability to bothclassroom practice and educational research, this approach has steadily gained popularity sinceits official introduction in 1981 3,4. Today, phenomenography is recognized as one of the topemergent methodologies in engineering education 5. As the use of phenomenography has grown,so too has the variation in phenomenographic methods 6,7. While literature commonly drawsattention to the distinctions between work by Ference Marton in Sweden (e.g. purephenomenography and later “new” phenomenography 1,3,4,8) and John Bowden in Australia

Theideology of meritocracy, i.e., the belief that personal and career successes result primarily fromindividual talent, training, and hard work, is a core part of engineering culture that may leadengineers to view social justice concerns as irrelevant to engineering.

COVID disrupted education and significantly impacted students’ mathematics development compared to language arts development[9], [26]. Initial reports from the early pandemic (2021) stated that elementary school students could have lost five to ten months of learning in mathematics, with potentially similar ramifications for middle and high school students[27]. In addition to learning loss, adolescentshad significant issues staying motivated and developing necessary academic skills while learning from home[28], [29]. Students'a cademic readiness is expected to differ because of COVID, and higher education must adapt

Student attendance to SI sessions was used in combination with attendance in lecture, recitation, office hours, assignment completion and performance on quizzes. A scaffolded approach was developed for the team; absences from SI sessions would prompt an initial email communication from the SI Leader (a peer) and if other absences, missed/late assignments or concerns about students were identified, the instructor would reach out for ongoing check-ins. This allowed for a more holistic approach to faculty-student and SI Leader-student interactions, both inside and

However, theresults were inconclusive because the two factors could not be studied independently. There was additional concern that the hybrid format negatively affected student retention. As aresult, faculty teaching Engineering Mechanics began an endeavor to try to understand the issuesassociated with student retention. The first step in this effort involved quantifying incomingstudent capability with tests on prerequisite material in Statics and Mechanics of Materials courses.Results showed that the pre-tests were moderately correlated with the end of semester grade pointwith Pearson correlation coefficient of ~0.45 for Statics

Surprisingly, perception of solutionmanual use differs between students and instructors. Many students use solution manuals as astudy aide to evaluate their work before submission [24]. While this may be an “honest” use ofresources, instructors must have the ability to account for the students that would simply copythe solutions as their own work to submit. Homework assignment grades and associated stressfrom workload, for both students and instructors alike, are some factors that have plagued thisSSHM and substantiate concerns for assessment reformation [7].To counter many of these issues

Beyond the societal fascina-tion with AI, its introduction at the high school level is anticipated to correlate positively with theretention of students from diverse backgrounds in CS and related fields. Research has consistentlyshown that the field of computer science experiences high attrition rates among women and peopleof color. This limits the participation from underrepresented minorities and perpetuates underlyingbiases among decision-makers and leaders. The scarcity of diverse role models in CS remains apersistent concern as well. These issues lead to secondary yet serious consequences.
