Other techniques include heuristicreadings, service learning, peer mentoring, team projects, game-based pedagogy, theoretical grounding,real world exposure, and micro-insertions.

important also in designing aresearch survey that will reach the appropriate populations. As with all research, studies withsensitive or hard-to-reach populations are likely very valuable to the research community, butrecruitment of these populations, especially for large-scale applications, is difficult to achieve (e.g.,sociological research on drug usage or unhoused populations). Furthermore, it is important toconsider whether the population of interest can be contacted by researchers reliably so thatresearchers are able to collect data: If a target study population is not privileged with access tosmartphones, for example, an app-based or SMS-based study is likely not ideal.

of power comes from the German sociologist Max Weber, whowrote that: “‘[p]ower’ is the probability that one actor within a social relationship will be in aposition to carry out his own will despite resistance...” ([11], p. 37). Many theorists have builtupon or extended this definition to cover different sources, types, and modes in which powermay operate. While Weber discussed some sources of power, Galbraith’s [4] three sources ofpower may be more applicable to the present work: 1) personality or charisma, 2) wealth orstatus, and 3) organizational. In other words, people with strong personalities or who are highlycharismatic may hold or exert power over others as well as those with notable wealth or status insociety (such as a political

This exercise required students to convertstrains to stresses, and then apply Mohr’s circle to determine if the maximum stresses exceededallowable values. This comprehensive approach likely deepened student understanding [3] andallowed students to struggle with the difficult concepts of stress and strain, giving them greaterappreciation for these topics. This assignment also required students to program a solution forMohr’s circle using

For instance, Dee’s (2005) workON BECOMING A “TRANSFER INSTITUTION” 7intimated that hiring teachers from underrepresented racial backgrounds could help to reduce theachievement gap, but limited his findings to low-income students from the South. For thisreason, the results were not necessarily applicable in other contexts. Scholars should continue totry to determine the set of attributes that make a particular faculty or staff member a good fit tosupport students of color in STEM. While positive interactions with faculty and staff such as these are noted in literature,extant research also reveals the challenges that can define students’ interactions

Theseworkplace experiences helped students connect their coursework with engineering practice [13],[15]. These connections in turn can promote engineering persistence and clarify students’ careerintentions. Students indicated that their primary reason for pursuing co-ops or internships isfuture employment, describing these experiences as providing “real world” experience and alsoincreasing their employability [16].
