and success is tightly correlated with a sense of belonging, between student peers andbetween students and their program. By bringing full-time faculty into close and persistentcontact with students in the fall freshman year and throughout the curriculum, the engineeringprograms at York College of Pennsylvania hope to create an environment where students feelsupported and encouraged to survive the significant challenges of an undergraduate engineeringeducation.References [1] ABET, “Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs, 2019 – 2020,” ABET, 2018.

We collected data in two iterations of two coursesthat made specific changes from in-person laboratory experiments to online experimentationthrough simulations.The first course was a one-credit course that serves as an introduction to chemical engineeringand contained primarily students in their first year of college. The first-year students worked ingroups. In 2019, 71 students in 19 groups provided consent and in 2020, 51 students in 13 groupsprovided consent.The second course was a three-credit laboratory course (the first of a four-course laboratorysequence) focused on thermodynamics.

Our purpose is to increase awareness,generate new decolonizing discourses, and support action and activism in engineering educationtoward improving student mental health and the inclusion and support of underrepresentedstudents. Through examining these linkages and mechanisms (Apple, 2019; Riley, 2017),engineering educators and researchers can further explore the unforeseen consequences ofunquestioned–and sometimes invisible

considers differences betweenengineers and architects, which both contribute to building design. STEM has always included“engineering,” but “architecture” was not officially recognized by Congress as a STEM subjectuntil 2019 [47]. It is unclear if the general population is aware of its recent inclusion.Nevertheless, there is a call for more systematic research of how STEM and design relate ineducation [48], [49]. Based on gaps in the research, this paper examines if STEM SC can predict pre-designstudent performance and engagement in a building parametric design tool, and how the studentsprioritize different criteria.
