Furthermore, Safe Zone ally training is an effective way topositively change campus climate by educating people about the terminologies of genderminorities and the biases these minorities experience [31, 19].To promote the pursuit of research careers among HUG students, we launched astudent-led initiative, the HUG Initiative, in the Department of Electrical and ComputerEngineering (ECE) at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, in which the proportion ofHUG students is consistently near 15% for both undergraduate and graduate programs. The HUGInitiative is a pilot study that systematically identifies the needs and obstacles of HUGs in theECE department

approach to research on first-generation students, reflecting a focus on what thesestudents can add to engineering rather than focusing on what they lack [10]. We pose thefollowing research question: How do two first-generation students, one a first-year and one a fourth-year, describe their journeys through engineering?By comparing the perspectives of a first-year and fourth-year student, we can identifyopportunities for better supporting our first-year, first-generation students. Identifying thespecific challenges endured by both students in their first years, and the stories of how thosechallenges were navigated, allows educators to adjust existing practices to be more supportiveand inclusive of first-generation students.MethodsIn

The goal was to combine best practices of other S-STEM programs together to providetiered support for the students using the nine elements mentioned above.

Both within-case and across-case results will contribute to theteaching and learning scholarship by elucidating how gamification can be utilized to teachcomputer science at the K-12 level. For example, by conducting this learning unit, STEMteachers may see themes in required skills to teach open-ended problem solving andcomputational thinking that may differ from scientific inquiry [25]. This case study also providesinsight on proper ways to implement a computer science framework from the teacher’sperspective, as there is no ‘best practice’ provided [12].This research is also meant

It considerssocial systems as a defining framework from which an individual’s place in society is determined[6]; social identity is constructed as an individual interacts with multiple groups and maintainspositive values from some groups while distancing themselves from others [10]. As a researchlens, social identity theory is useful for gaining a greater understanding of when and howstudents begin to identify with engineering individually and socially. As a result, these conceptsinfluenced all aspects of our research design including participant recruitment as well as datacollection and analysis, as discussed in the next section.MethodsTo address our research question, we conducted

engineering education, CBE provides a transition from universityto industry. Many parallels exist between CBE and industry practices, in particular thosesurrounding design-based concepts. In industry, new-product development (NPD) requiresattention to detail at the individual project, business, and systems level to create a successfulproduct launch [2], whereas university engineering design courses tend to focus on the individualproject level. Cooper’s [2] NPD success drivers often reflect the type of skills that are a focus inCBE. For individual new-product projects, overlapping concepts include voice-of-the-customer,pre-work, definition, and iterations. Building in the voice-of-the-customer may involve marketresearch for businesses, whereas
