presentation 2History:Since 1970, diversity programs have existed in the college of engineering with a focus to recruit, retain and graduate underrepresented students in engineering. Two programs were created to support underrepresented student populations within engineering which are identified as women, ethnic minorities (African American/Black, Hispanic, Native American and Native Hawaiian) and students with marginalized identities (i.e. first generation, low socio‐economic status, etc.). Before their establishment, there was little attention from the engineering college given to recruitment efforts for underrepresented populations. In the years following

displacement contexts, such as refugee camps. Theoverall goal of this course was to prepare students to solve problems using engineering designeffectively. The LED course targeted the following learning objectives: 1) using a systematicproblem-solving method to identify, evaluate, and scope an engineering problem; 2) applying theengineering design process to generate ideas, critically evaluate and develop evidence-basedsolutions; 3) fostering the growth of reflective individuals and empower their social agency, and4) discussing and practicing professional competencies. Students develop a capstone projectwhere they applied the theoretical concepts learned in the course throughout the course. Thiscapstone project is an important component of our

To remaincurrent with advances in technology and heightened industry expectations, degree programs mustcontinuously reevaluate their curricula to ensure that graduates have the requisite skillsets andcompetencies to compete in today's – and tomorrow's – job market. Today’s students are beingtrained for jobs that did not exist even ten years ago. Indeed, many current jobs will be obsoleteten years from now. What remains unknown is how can we best prepare our students for this ever-changing job market?To address this, we have been researching best practices to produce top-tier students and foundthat continuous faculty development is key. The literature says that faculty professionaldevelopment is a part vital component of

LGBTQ+engineering students as well as students with other minority or underrepresented identities. Manyof these programs include providing shared spaces for students to inhabit and interact with eachother, such as multicultural engagement centers, department-sponsored minority studentorganizations, and gender and sexuality centers. These spaces present an interesting physicallocale and cultural context to explore the experiences of LGBTQ+ engineering students, as theyare inherently intended to make engineering feel more inclusive for LGBTQ+ engineeringstudents. This study, part of a broader project on the experiences of LGBTQ+ engineering studentsmore generally, attempts to answer the following research questions: 1. How do LGBTQ
Introduction Technology tools used in education can positively affect student motivation [1]. Activelearning, often promoted by educational technology, has been shown to also have a significanteffect on both learning gains and self-efficacy for underrepresented minority students (URM) inSTEM [2], [3]. However, both new technologies and new teaching practices present uniquechallenges for implementation. Historically, teachers and students have faced many challenges ofimproving teaching and learning practices in diverse contexts [4]–[6]. Thus, we need tounderstand how teachers and students interact with technology and teaching practice to continueto adapt these tools to their needs and use them to benefit the self-beliefs of URM students

However, it was ultimately Engineering Student Councilrepresentatives who chose the theme, speaker, and breakout session topics.From the second event forward, members of the newly created Multicultural Engineering ProgramStudent Advisory Board, or MEP-SAB, worked in conjunction with the Engineering StudentCouncil.

Membership ofMEP-SAB in the second and third years of the summit was based on one representative peracademic department in the college.

engage with thecontent, and inclusion considerations for each topic, ending with a debriefing discussion. Forexample, during Session 1 we begin with a discussion around mentors, advisors, and supervisors,asking students to identify differences between the three roles, the many different ways theseroles can be carried out, and the resulting implications. For example, one student’s advisor mayalso be their supervisor, which may make interacting with this person tricky as the student has todiscern which role is being assumed at what times. We followed this introduction with anactivity from the CIMER curriculum asking students to review and discuss a generated list ofexpectations for both graduate students and their advisor. We prompt them to think
There are pockets of success around the nation where makerspaces have successfully reached a more diverse population, than the trending white and male nature of these spaces… However, these spaces are the exception and not the norm. And, little research has been done on these spaces to document what is working, how or why [1, p. 40].IntroductionThe maker movement and resulting makerspaces have permeated informal and formal learningspaces over the past decade. However, little work has been done to deepen the understanding ofhow inclusive these makerspaces are for engineering students from underrepresented groups.These makerspaces, physical spaces where people work on and complete making-related projectsand activities

Overview of the Study STEM jobs are increasing and the US workforce will need more STEM workers in thefuture [1], [2]. “STEM occupations include computer scientists and mathematicians; engineers andarchitects; life, physical, and social scientists; medical professionals; and managers of STEMactivities” [3]. According to ISACA, the United States will need 1.4 million workers in computer-related fields in 2020 and the U.S. will only be able to fill 29% of those jobs [4]. With the increaseof STEM workers, research has shown that men outnumber women in the STEM field. Accordingto the National Center for Education Statistics, 36% of STEM bachelor degrees were

One video was created in MicrosoftPowerpoint, with voice of the instructor and video of ASL interpretation, similar to how DHHstudents in mainstream classes receive instruction. The other video recorded a deaf teacher usingthe same Powerpoint presentation but providing “direct instruction” in ASL. At this point, weconducted focus groups with DHH students to obtain feedback on accessibility of the two pilotvideos. Analysis of the transcripts from these sessions revealed five themes: 1.

project results in learning analytics tools for practice-basedSTEM learning that are appropriate for real-world learning environments.IntroductionThe PELARS1 project is intended as a testing ground and generator of 21st-Century STEMknowledge and skills. The project generates, analyses, uses and provides feedback for analyticsderived from hands-on, project-based and experiential learning scenarios. These scenarios are: 1. European High School level STEM classrooms. 2. Postsecondary Science and Engineering practical environments. 3. The more open-form studio environments of the Interaction Design Schools (which form the basis and inspiration for many of the project’s orientations).The project serves to help better understand learners' knowledge
EntrepreneurialIntentions within either engineering or business majors [1], or on the psychological side of inten-tions [2], this current work bridges the gap between intentions and Entrepreneurial Actions.Our work is based on qualitative semi-structured interviews of participants in the EngineeringMajors Survey (EMS) 1 . All 16 interviewees participated at least at two of the three nationally-representative, longitudinal Engineering Majors Surveys. The EMS is a survey designed to ex-plore engineering students’ technical, innovation, and entrepreneurial interests and experiencesover time. The interviewees in this study had relatively high Entrepreneurial Intentions comparedto the average of all EMS participants. Furthermore, they are categorized into three groups
