. Through his in- volvement in the UNR PRiDE Research Lab and engagement with the UNR and Northern Nevada STEM Education communities, he studied student motivation, active learning, and diversity; developed K-12 engineering education curriculum; and advocated for socioeconomically just access to STEM education. As a Ph.D. Candidate with the STRiDE Research Lab at Purdue University, Justin’s dissertation research focuses on the study of Intersectionality Theory and the intersectionality of socioeconomic inequality in engineering education, use of critical quantitative methodology and narrative inquiry to understand the complex stories of engineering students from traditionally minoritized backgrounds, and the pursuit of a

His roots in industry aided him in the development of curriculum for 3 new courses by aligning industry’s desired competencies for new grads with accreditation criteria and facility constraints. The result was applied education: practical learning activities and hands-on labs that prepared students for the real world and accelerated their time-to-competency once on the job.

This paper presents anunconventional approach to meeting this requirement as surveyed and tested in the aerospaceengineering department of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, with theintention of having a lasting impact on engineering graduates throughout their working career.All professions have common codes of competence, integrity, and intended good will towardshumanity. Often these codes presume internal regulation and constraint to guard against humannature’s self-serving inclinations and proclivities.

In addition, wecoded for outcome, relationships with others, and ways of thinking and doing. Results wereanalyzed for hegemonic gender markers and put into a broader engineering epistemologicalcontext. Results were also interpreted based on how the participants conceptualized and gendertheir perceptions.

However, as agents assigned to carry out the teaching and learning objectives of thefaculty member, TAs are often the “first line of defense” [15, p. 89] in undergraduate instructionand what they do directly affects the perceived quality of the faculty member’s teaching as wellas the overall quality of the curriculum in the department [15].

Many studies showed the positive effect of using AI in STEM, non-STEM, and online education. One of the reasons behind this is that using AI is customizable,where teachers can produce a personalized plan for each student depending on theirimprovement needs. Another reason is fast response, where you are a click away from gettingyour answer. Figure 1: AI types [71].

Similarly, McGee [8] found that Black men students were oftenstereotyped as being more suited for careers outside of STEM and their success in STEMcoursework was attributed to them either being extremely intelligent or garnered throughcheating, which hindered some students’ ability to develop an affinity for their STEM discipline.Similarly, Black and Latinx students have reported feelings of isolation and loneliness which canalso negatively impact their academic
