children, and people withdisabilities, are more likely than their traditional graduate student counterparts to report climate-related issues [4]. While some studies of university or campus-level climate for students haveincluded doctoral students in general, few studies disaggregate findings by discipline or bydemographic categories beyond gender identity and race/ethnicity. In engineering, Riley, Slaton,and Pawley’s [5] observed that the engineering education research community tends to take upissues of diversity focused on “women and [racial and ethnic] minorities while queerness, class,nationality, disability, age, and other forms of difference are for the most part not seen asrequiring address”. This literature review was conducted as
Results: Gains in Student LearningThe analysis of the SALG data is expected to demonstrate that active learning strategies not onlyenhance students’ conceptual understanding but also foster collaborative learning and increaseconfidence in tackling open-ended, data-driven engineering problems. We also aim to investigatehow these outcomes may differ across demographic groups, particularly among women andBIPOC students. To explore these dimensions, we developed several research questions (RQs) toguide our analysis.RQ1: What did students learn?Students reported significant learning gains in several targeted outcomes, particularly inunderstanding the relationships between core concepts introduced in the course, how these ideasconnect to other
