This questionnaire allowed students to report currentexperiences and experiences they wished to have more of in the engineering program as well asSTEM programs in general. Although the sample size that completed the questionnaire is small,the results offer a reflection of participants’ experiences. The questionnaire was built from Talleyand Ortiz’s [3] research on the constructs of interest and motivation that are associated with thepersistence of female students who are undergraduates in STEM fields. Questions of the focusgroup were developed to explore both internal processes for

LGBTQ students compartmentalize their sexual and gender identities whennavigating academic spaces, which may be reflected in how they manage their social networkswithin and outside of academic settings—particularly STEM. This first phase of our project isaimed at collecting data to test this hypothesis.Social Network TheorySocial network theory provides the foundation for social network analysis, the primary methodemployed to reach the first research aim of this project.

This allowed a mix of sophomores tomaster’s students at Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) to enroll inthe course. It also attracted students from a broad range of majors (including engineering,computer science, social sciences, and visual arts) with more gender diversity typically seen inSTEM (i.e., 60% of the class identified as female). The course was also designed to foster adeeply reflective environment among students regarding the current technological state of theworld and its societal repercussions.

Students assess their inputs (time, content, resources, person: mental, physical, emotional) and make adjustments to achieve desired outputs in their first set of exams. 3. Fall Semester Drill Week 8: Post-Test Analysis: System Check - Students reflect on their first set of exams and evaluate their study systems to make strategic adjustments. Students also learn how to develop habits, foster self-awareness, and conclude by writing a detailed goal commitment with tangible steps and outcomes. 4.

computing is the reality of the computing education “culture” in the U.S.being primarily one-note (e.g., white-men)—including faculty, students, and professionals—which instigates perpetual curricular and non-curricular hurdles for members of non-majoritygroups to overcome. To attain their fit within computing, students must navigate the computerscience culture by adopting norms and values that are reflective of the majority-group [22]. Notbeing able to adopt these norms and values impacts students’ fit within computing contexts and,ultimately, their retention.Culture is a compelling explanation for underrepresentation in computer science.

In GIFT, GSs are supported by the project faculty and a one-credit course to constructadult-level, inquiry-based, 30-minute lessons based on specific topics related to elementary(K-6) Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS; [19]). The GSs meet with elementary teachercandidates (TCs) to teach the lesson and serve as disciplinary experts on the topic. The TCssubsequently turn this knowledge into 15-minute mini-lessons for elementary students. To bringGIFT full circle, the GSs observe the TCs teaching the lesson and reflect on the entireexperience (see [20] for more details on this intervention).Methods & Design We undertook a pragmatic
