American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Work-in-Progress: Leveraging interdisciplinary topics in first-year engineeringAbstractAt Michigan Technological University, students in engineering disciplines tend to see theirhumanities general education requirements as boxes to be checked off and have difficulty seeingtheir relevance to their future careers. Simultaneously, engineering educators recognize theimportance of humanistic skills and mindsets (communication, critical and creative thinking,comfort with ambiguity, ethical reasoning, etc.) as crucial to students’ success as practicingengineers.

We analyzed students'perceptions of unfair treatment to capture the psychological, emotional, and social responses theyreport.BackgroundGender, racial and ethnic diversity in engineering, particularly in graduate education, does notreflect the general population diversity in the U.S. [1], [2], [9], [10]. In many ways, engineeringrepresents a microcosm of the institutional and structural barriers to persistence traditionallyunderserved graduate students face in higher education across all majors, resulting in adverseeducational outcomes [11].

The paper presents general conclusions with strategies to implement a computer simulationtool like MATLAB/Simulink to teach advanced topics. The learning modules solve difficultproblems that would be impossible to solve analytically without advanced graduate levelcoursework and/or an inappropriately large amount of time.Over six-years of adapting and changing the learning modules, student success on – andperception of – the assignments improved.

Participants in these interviews were asked toreflect on the program’s value in a way that captured its longer-term impact. Here are twotypical examples from participants talking about the life-changing impact the REM program hadon them: • A teacher recommended being a program participant: “if you want to grow as an educator, as a human being, and as a lifelong learner.” • An undergraduate student said: “I learned so much.

The Decision Tree algorithm is the mostwidely used predictive model for identifying student dropout in higher education institutions[13].

number ofapplications and students enrolling in the EP.In addition, most high school academic counselors reported less positive attitudes about theacademic rigor of community college coursework [12]. Since underrepresented minorities (Black 4and Hispanic), women, financially challenged, and first-generation college students more oftenbegin their higher education at community colleges than their white, male, and higher incomecounterparts [21, 22], they are already confronted with an inferiority barrier by the time they enrollat a community college. The false belief that community colleges are inferior, represent somesecond-class status, and limited
