predominantly focused on White, male students who make up the majority of undergraduate engineering majors in the U.S. In 2018, 78.1% of engineering bachelor degrees were received by males, and 61.5% by White [17]. To fill the gap in the literature, we seek to include minority and underrepresented student experiences to expand the aggregated definitions for student success. These aggregated definitions of student success establish the desired outcome for scholars, administration, and presumably students, yet overlook what success means to students.4. Reflections of Success – Student Perspectives: While the above definitions may be useful as an aggregate measure for a large number of students, they do not capture the views
offeredonline at Hampton University. Student participation in the survey was not required by the in-structor but was optional and completely anonymous for the students.Class Delivery Mode: The teaching of Chemical Engineering Calculations (CME 201- 4 credit), ChemicalEngineering Thermodynamics (CME 307 - 4credit), and Unit Operation Laboratory (CME 411 -2 credits) during COVID-19 was done entirely online, with Blackboard being the deliveryvehicle for instructions. We made use of both synchronous and asynchronous learning methodswhile teaching remotely.Technology Employed: The course involved completing both independent (e.g. reading material, viewing onlinecontent, reflecting on information) asynchronously and dependent (e.g. online interactions
]. Collectively, our findings are in line with caring pedagogy research [39] thatreports increased motivation and learning outcomes on the part of students when they perceivefaculty as caring about them by getting to know students and providing constructive feedback[40]. This line of work suggests that part of why learner-centered instruction is effective is thatstudents increase in their engagement and see more opportunities to learn, such as from feedbackand from peers. Faculty who care and hold high-but-reachable expectations for students may seesimilar expectations and behaviors reflected by students.AcknowledgmentsThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.1623105.
