implementedthe survey in a first-year and in senior courses for the purpose of validating items using factoranalysis. Following this, we conducted analysis of survey and interview data restricted to thefirst-year course, including epistemic beliefs and analysis of students’ agency.Through exploratory factor analysis, we found that factors did not converge around constructs asdescribed in the literature. Rather, factors formed around the forms of information leveraged todevelop requirements. Through qualitative analysis of students’ responses on the survey and tointerviews, we evaluated the extent to which students expressed agency over their use ofrequirements to make decisions within a course project. We describe implications of thisexploratory study

The GCSP is a framework that defines five competencies, development of which servesto prepare a student to address NAE’s Grand Challenges: 1. Talent Competency: mentored research/creative experience on a Grand Challenge-like topic 2. Multidisciplinary Competency: understanding multidisciplinarity of engineering systems solutions developed through personal engagement 3. Viable
twotypes of institutions has been nearly nonexistent. However, recent initiatives, such as thecollaboration between a group of student biomedical-engineers, have begun to shed light on thepotential benefits of such partnerships. Through interviews with the students and faculty involvedin the research, the paper aims to extract generalized feelings and insights into the experience ofcross-institutional collaboration. The findings reveal that tribal colleges are underutilized, and thatcross-institutional relationships can be highly beneficial in terms of education and development.This paper concludes that cross-institutional collaboration should be more widely promoted as ameans of enhancing the education and development of diverse communities

engineers identify as women. Commonly identified reasons for the disparity between menand women in the field include gender stereotyping, the lack of representation, and the absence ofsame-gendered mentorship opportunities.The Purdue University Women in Engineering Program has been offering mentoring opportunitiesfor women undergraduate students since 1993. The first cohort consisted of 50 participants inpaired peer mentoring relationships, where First-Year students were paired with upperclass students.Now, three decades later, the program offers support, affirmation, and strategies to more than 1,000participants through a network mentoring model where all participants (undergraduate womenengineering students) can learn from one another.This
stages of venture development[20]. Because entrepreneurs often face high levels of uncertainty, stress, and isolation, andhaving strong emotional backing during this unsafe period helps them build the flexibilityneeded to continue through challenges and keep their motivation [21], [22]. This indicatesthat the effectiveness of emotional support depends on the time and context in which it isprovided [20] .In the broader context of social support and justice, the roles of allies and accomplices arealso crucial. As we have contextualized in past work [12], accomplices are people who goout of their way to provide support and remove barriers for an oppressed group [23]. Onthe other hand, an ally may just empathize with a struggle or stand with an

Themost recent version of this policy is as follows: The ASCE supports the attainment of a body of knowledge for entry into the practice of civil engineering at the professional level. This would be accomplished through the adoption of appropriate engineering education and experience requirements as a prerequisite for licensure.2In conjunction with the implementation of Policy 465, ASCE initiated a comprehensive effort toformally define the profession’s body of knowledge (BOK).3 As the BOK has been developedand refined, a concurrent analysis has demonstrated that the prescribed BOK outcomes cannot beadequately achieved through the

belonging at the transfer institution. In addition, program-specific courses and activities at the transfer institution aim to eliminate the socialization andadjustment barrier upon transfer, further increasing belongingness to both institutions.Preliminary outcomes promise a ninety-five percent (95%) transfer rate within 2-3 years fromadmission. The Program's success is attributed to a holistic and programmatic approach for transferthat emphasizes cross-institutional commitment, effective mentoring, rigor, quality, and increasesbelonging to the engineering profession (measured through a belonging survey and "AppreciativeInquiry" case study interviews). Although this approach is Engineering specific, our model ispositioned to revolutionize transfer
success or STEM student success, and it did not have a strategy forachieving student success beyond metrics for retention and graduation. Thus, there was neither aclear destination nor a map for improving STEM student outcomes, only a sense that theUniversity was not where it wanted to be. In response, the team created a set of equity-mindedstudent success outcomes, which are as follows:Equity-Minded Student Success Outcomes• Equity/parity in learning outcomes, especially course-level performance, retention, graduation• Equity/parity in opportunity, e.g., participation in research/experiential learning• Sense of self-efficacy and metacognitive skills. • Sense of authentic belonging (can take many forms)• Ability to "right the ship" when

teams. To examine these thirteen change projects from the lens ofan outsider looking in, they used the six characteristics of guiding coalitions outlined by Kotter(2012) to conduct a post-hoc analysis of team-building experiences. By using theory as a meansto explain events that occurred in the past, these authors were able to apply theory as a means tounderstand change project contexts without the need to adapt it in-the-moment as eventsunfolded. This approach was particularly valuable as a means to make sense of complicated teamformation experiences through a retrospective lens and connect the studied teams’ experiences tobroader team-building narratives.In practice-oriented contexts, change agents can utilize theories in many ways, and may

The relationships and supportive network formed through the mentoring program will help students throughout their college experience and beyond. The program pairs first year students with an upperclassman student who will be their mentor throughout the year. The program also has events throughout the semester to allow all program participants to network with one another. The second year of the mentoring program kicked off in Fall 2020 during the COVID‐19 pandemic. The program was designed to implement one‐on‐one peer mentoring within the WISE program

. Key to theprogram was flexibility and an individualized plan for each student. The Scholar program isbeing piloted at Kansas State University; but if successful, the program may become a model forother institutions within the alliance to implement.Theoretical FrameworkThe Scholar program was informed by the Kamphoff and colleagues’ motivational andempowerment model [2]. Their model was developed to help students on academic probationand included a combination of workshop/classroom interventions and a novel advising model. Italso moved beyond looking at retention solely as a measure of success for a program butincluded the examination of changes to student attitudes, aspirations, and abilities. Their modelincluded four pillars: personal
, addressing the research questions posed.The findings reveal that students demonstrate a moderate level of knowledge about sustainability andthe SDGs. Industrial Engineering students perceive themselves as having greater knowledge of thetopic compared to Geology students. While both groups show a general understanding of what theSDGs are, their knowledge about the specific goals and implications remains limited.Formal education emerges as the primary source through which students obtain information aboutsustainability and the SDGs. In contrast, traditional media and informal or non-formal training are theleast utilized sources of information. This highlights the need for improved dissemination strategies tointegrate sustainability topics across
sufficient experience through the process.4,5 Sometimesstudents want or feel a need to perform additional experiments beyond their assigned tasks. It isusually difficult to accommodate any extra laboratory time due to the lack of available resourcesto keep the laboratories open. Additionally, laboratory facilities are often inaccessible to thestudents of other departments, even within the same institution, because of their geographicallocation. Ironically, too much laboratory equipment lies idle during most of its usable lifetime.6,7,8Only a remote experimentation facility can provide cost effective and unlimited access toexperiments and maximize the utilization of available resources. Moreover, this will allow inter-laboratory collaboration among
