With this, 10% of the sample (Black and Hispanic students) are fromunderrepresented populations. Notably, Asian and Hispanic students are represented in thiscourse at a greater percentage when compared to demographics of the university as a whole.Most of the students in our sample majored in an engineering degree: mechanical (44%),electrical (9%), aerospace (9%), industrial operations (7%), computer science (6%), biomedical(5%), chemical (3%), computer (3%), and other engineering fields (5%).

Engineers can be applied to improve SI across thefreshman engineering curriculum. For example, as Chem Central, the Connections ChemistryReview, and the COE tutoring office were all found to have a positive impact on students’grades, resources like these could be created to help freshman students in their other courses.Further study of possible interaction effects among these and other variables for which we havedata are ongoing. Our results also show that the students who often skip lecture are the studentswho do not take advantage of resources for SI and receive lower course grades. These may bestudents who need additional advising and mentoring during their freshman year in order tosucceed. The issues raised are important topics of focus for

This can often be exacerbated for underrepresented students when compoundedwith existing structural and systematic issues such as the lack of visible professional role models,exposure and/or access to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), under-resourcedpublic schools and inadequate preparation to matriculate into a university-level engineeringprogram. Efforts to answer the call to increase diversity and inclusion in engineering should startwith an understanding of how people from groups marginalized in engineering experienceengineering.

—the report then turns abruptly toward anarrow technical sub-problem: optimizing learning outcomes by manipulating the sequence inwhich materials are presented to students. To achieve this radically narrowed goal, the reportintroduces a computer algorithm that “eliminates unsuccessful presentation sequences andmodifies successful ones for a new round of tests, in which the least successful are againeliminated and the best are modified once more.” 14As most thoughtful educators recognize, sequencing of material is a minor variable in the largerequation of successful (individualized) learning. What material is included, how materials areconnected to students’ existing knowledge and experiences, and the dynamic of the learningenvironment are all

The study focused on gaining the perspective of white full-time faculty in engineeringsince white faculty make up approximately 63% of all engineering, computing, and sciencefaculty members [47]. Based on a broader interest in using the data gained from this study toinform engineering student success and faculty development practices at a mid-sized, PhDgranting, private, 4-year institution in the Midwest, this was the primary site for this study.Additionally

Research on the effect of SIPs suggests that many help improve academic preparation,self-efficacy, STEM identity, sense of belonging, and ultimately persistence in STEM [10]–[12].While investment in these focused interventions is important for mitigating the effects ofsystemic inequity within education and society more broadly, the structure of higher educationinstitutions contributes to a patchwork of student support programs that are difficult to sustainand often operate in parallel [13], [14]. The lack of consistent coordination and collaborationacross efforts can lead to redundancies and gaps
