The assessment revealed that students are benefitting from the knowledge acquired and exchanged within the research group. This report is designed to share approaches we have implemented thus far, outcomes, and a reflection on areas for future improvement. KeywordsUndergraduate research, diversity, inclusion, computer systems, practical skills, high impactpractices. 1 IntroductionThe field of computer systems has a woefully low representation of women and people ofcolor.

Student comments also illustrate how curiosity in the subjectmatter grew, greater self-discovery by working with a diverse team emerged, and strengthenedconfidence through effective problem-solving. In combination, these reflections are earlyevidence that the experiential learning platform created by this partnership will better preparestudents for collegiate engineering programs. The impact of different structured experiences willbe assessed by exit interviews of the high school and college students to determine whether thepartnership effectively met the stated objectives.Our next steps are to introduce students to additional technical areas

Students were asked to prepare and then participatein role-play discussions which were then assessed for learning. The data supporting this researchcomes from the role-play discussion transcripts of 86 first-year engineering students whoparticipated in four sections of an undergraduate engineering concepts class during Fall 2020.Our findings show that students successfully identified a breadth of ethical issues, dilemmas, andtopics related to the use of FRT on campus.

In a recent study, Diaz et al., 2020, employed the EngineeringComputational Thinking Diagnostic to assess the development of computational thinking skillsin one course for first year engineering students that included computational thinking topics. Theauthors found that the first-year engineering course did result in engineering studentssignificantly increasing their computational thinking skills. This study suggests the importance ofcomputational thinking in undergraduate engineering education. Therefore, we also argue thatthe integration of CT is relevant for pre-college

The overall goal of implementing EML in engineeringcourses is to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. This is essential in entrepreneurial education asthis mindset of personal success coupled with engineering skills generates unprecedented valuefor others. Research indicates that academic goals can be assessed through learning outcomesthat measure academic and individual development [8].

While student input provides importantinformation, additional sources of data from peers and the instructor themselves were deemedessential for a holistic understanding of teaching effectiveness.

Second, following thepreregistration, we conducted an OLS regression with robust standard errors.

Both surveys had thesame set of questions, which had Likert scale responses [3]. For example, students were asked,“How confident are you in the following skills as a scientist?” and given a list of skills alongwith the choices “not at all confident”, “a little confident”, “kind of confident”, “confident”, and“very confident”.

Thistool consists of two categories: Epistemic Curiosity and Perceptual Curiosity. Epistemic Curiosity(EC) is motivated by the desire to learn, gather knowledge, and fill gaps in one's understanding. Incontrast, Perceptual Curiosity (PC) results in enhanced perceptual experiences for the individual.The assessment tool utilizes a 4-point Likert-type scale.
