generation have tended to evolve with thesechanging interests, teaching and research dedicated to the conservation of energy has remainedcomparatively static.From an analytical standpoint, many companies do not possess the in-house knowledge neededto fully assess the impact that simple energy conservation measures can have on their facilities ormanufacturing operations. This knowledge gap can often be bridged when plans for the moreefficient use of energy is correlated directly to monetary savings. Toward this end, theresponsible energy engineer must be fully adept in the appropriate engineering fundamentals andthe associated economics as well.Spurring renewed interest in the development and adoption of both new and existing energyconservation

Conversely, mastery learning assumes thatall students, given enough time and intervention, can eventually master the content [4], [5], [6].Learning within mastery frameworks concerns itself with identifying learning trajectories andproviding students with curriculum for gaining knowledge and skills, assessing mastery throughformative assessments, and providing feedback to help students master one set of skills beforemoving on to the next set [7

We use these findings to suggest that CSsupport programs encourage their participants to form student-led, virtual communities forprofessional development, and engage socially-oriented individuals, respectively. Above all, weencourage facilitators of CS support programs and educational settings to remain strategic in thedesign of curriculums and environments. With an emphasis on changes in systems over students[26], [73], we believe that the field can resourcefully nurture the persistence of students ofdiverse identities, ultimately encouraging a future of equitable innovation in CS.References[1] T.

This issue is further exacerbated by the frequently studied false dichotomy ofsocial-technical dualism in STEM, where many STEM professionals disregard and devaluesocial and political issues in favor of technical knowledge and experiences[12]. ThisSocial-Technical dichotomy leaves LGBTQ+ individuals silenced and marginalized since genderand sexuality issues—along with myriad other social issues—are seen as entirely irrelevant tothe STEM environment and curriculum [7], [13]. Faced with this climate, students must resolve their LGBTQ+ identity with a STEMprofessional identity that is implicitly and explicitly tied to heteronormativity. This resolution is acrucial but complicated and difficult process of identity
