field of civil engineering.ConclusionCivil engineers are in a special position for addressing climate change issues due to the fact thatthey design and build the infrastructure that shapes the way that people live their lives. The“wicked problem” of climate change, as it has frequently been characterized, presents the civilengineering profession with the biggest challenge it has faced. In the meantime, climate changealso provides the civil engineering profession with an opportunity to be more innovative andadaptive. The current civil engineering education curriculum is not providing students with theneeded exposure to the nature and scope of anthropogenic climate change and the professionalchallenges it presents, which is critical to equipping
education andparticularly, in engineering. The innovativeness of this mentoring hub and the population it serves,which is severely under-studied and under-supported (Coso-Strong et al., 2019; Villanueva &Muñoz, 2021), can spark new evidence-based mentoring approaches to intentionally “account forhow differing conditions and contexts of mentorship may differentially affect individuals withdiverse sociocultural identities.” (NASEM, 2019, p. 192). In this work-in-progress, the authors decided to openly share their rationale and thinkingbehind a mentoring hub like RITA with the intent that others will gain inspiration in centeringmore people-centered professional development and mentoring hubs. We understand that whilewe are not delving into
to develop innovative and inclusive ideas, tackleissues in different ways, and address global cyber threats [3].Sometimes, however, the call for diversity in computing can be complicated, as diversity is acomplex concept. While most of the research on diversity in computing focuses on gender andrace/ethnicity, some interpret diversity in other ways. For example, several scholars argue that itis important to expand the definition of diversity to include other demographic factors such asdisability, age, parental status, and religion [4, 5]. In addition, others discuss other aspects todiversity such as viewpoints and perspectives [6], and “embodied diversity” that emphasizes theimportance of body and emotion in affective responses [7
epistemic culture and gain insight into aninstance that was primed for epistemic negotiation. In this paper, we present our initial charac-terization of the team’s epistemic culture and our analysis of the instance we identified. We alsodiscuss possible barriers to teams having epistemic negotiations.1 IntroductionThere are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and group projects. Whether working on a teamleads to innovative solutions or frustration often depends more on the dynamics among team mem-bers than the project itself. These dynamics can be especially important on interdisciplinary teamswhere individuals may have different ways of thinking about knowledge (or epistemic beliefs)because of their disciplinary backgrounds [1, 2, 3].

It reiterated that the concept of the proposed simulator is exciting, innovative andpractical, but needs more refinement in order to become user-friendly and function as a stand-alone learning tool. 134. DiscussionThe results provide recommendations for improvement and next steps for developing the simulatorfurther. Some improvements are relatively easy to implement and will be prioritized in futureiterations. The first one is related to user interface improvements, for example the visual style andplacement of the instructions. User interface design is often a field within itself, and much researchhas already been

are crucial factors. Feeling valued and appreciated byothers and the influence of one's identity are also important factors. SB leads to positiveoutcomes such as achievement, engagement, and happiness. It is a continuous process thatchanges as circumstances change. This model is closely related to Maslow's model of basichuman needs. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, physiological needs must first be met,followed by social needs such as belongingness and esteem. The absence of SB can impede thedevelopment of higher-order needs such as creativity, innovation, and knowledge. Therefore, it iscrucial to satisfy the need for SB before any interest in involvement can be developed. Overall, the concept of SB is still evolving because

microcontrollers, the devices were bynecessity relatively simple. One of the teams built a device designed to monitor an oven andsound an alarm if the oven was left on too long. Another team built a device that was designed todim a light when natural light is available. Yet another team built a device that was designed toturn a curling iron heating element on only when the heat from a person’s hand is detected on thehandle. A few of the devices were innovative, but many of the devices were similar to standardcommercially available devices such as motion-activated lights or lights that turn on when theambient light is low.The students’ work was evaluated based on the device demonstration, the explanation of how itworked, and a short, written lab report
