for our programming efforts. First, we modeled the long-term effect ofour programming efforts on the percentage of females in the incoming residency class assumingthat we maintain our current level of programming indefinitely. We then adjusted selectparameters in the model to reflect “worst-case” assumptions for recruiting and retention inorthopaedic residency (see Table 2). This analysis is particularly important because our currentprogram evaluation data – on which the model parameters are based – reflect intermediaterecruitment and retention outcomes, e.g., intention to pursue orthopaedic surgery for high schoolparticipants rather than actual matriculation rates into residency. Our worst-case assumptionswere as follows: (1) 10% decrease in

Students kepta journal, and writing assignments were given throughout the seminar course.Students were initially asked to reflect on their personal style with regard to futurework within their group. Throughout the development of activities, students keptnotes on brainstorming and draft activities. Midway through the projects,students reflected on what attracted them to engineering as well as anyone thatwas influential in their math and science courses. Students incorporated thisinformation into their activity as a way to introduce and tie their activity toengineering. As students presented their activities, they evaluated each otherusing a rubric that scored each activity based on

At Arizona State University, the long-term effects to a suite ofstrategies designed to increase sense of belonging were found to be an increase in retention from0.9% per year to 1.6% per year in their undergraduate engineering cohorts from 1998 to 201310.Four areas were identified at the University of Washington as being important to thedevelopment of community and belonging of ethnic minority students: co-curricular activities,peer support, faculty/department support, and residence programs.

Critical educational researchers problematize these inequities, and focus ontransformative educational practices that move past providing similar experiences for all

Often teachers findthemselves hitting a barrier in STEM courses when it comes to incorporating dual languagepractices. There are limited opportunities for STEM content teachers and English as a SecondLanguage (ESL) teachers to collaborate, particularly because STEM content teachers may seethemselves providing only STEM content while dismissing any language-related responsibilities[6].In recent years, dual language programs have expanded in the United States reflecting a betterunderstanding of the connection between language and content knowledge [7].

My linguistic decisions are based in part on the social model ofdisability.7 The social model puts forth the idea that structural and social barriers are animportant component of what disables people, as opposed to their bodies or minds; or, asMargaret Price coined, their “bodyminds”.8 This choice is also reflective of the position of self-advocates from within the disabled community who point out that disability can be a large part ofan individual’s identity that influences their experiences in the world,9 similar to the influence ofidentifying with specific gender, racial, veteran, economic, or sexual orientations.MethodThis literature review was conducted through a database

also consider discrimination or lack of diversity and inclusion asystematic misallocation of human resources and as such an economic inefficiency (Futrelle, 2013). Whileacknowledgment of these ideas is encouraging for a progressive future, the demographic profile of thestudent population in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields, despitesignificant gains, does not reflect that of the nation. The lack of diversity; gender, racial, and ethnic sexualinequality; and lack of an inclusive culture are still prevalent in the fields of STEM, especially at theuniversity level (Winkle-Wagner et al 2018). This is subsequently reflected in the nation’s STEM labormarket as well. As such, engineering and related STEM professionals in

To address the call, it is critical to examine the African-American science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) undergraduate experience and to understand how theexperiences of underrepresented populations influence decisions to go into and persist in STEMmajors 3-5. But what do we really understand about the African-American STEM collegeexperience? What can we learn from the experiences and reflections of African-AmericanSTEM PhD mentors about the African-American college experience and how to navigate it?

The camp was primarily facilitated by fourteen student mentors. One of theprinciple elements of the camp was to have mentors that reflected the demographics of thestudent population. As such, the mentor demographics consisted of 12 URM male mentors and 2URM female mentors.
