While workersin STEM occupations tended to have both greater remote work capability and were less likely tosuffer job loss at the onset of the pandemic compared to other workers, evidence suggests thatthe value of embodied STEM knowledge, rather than remote work capability, offers the greatestexplanation for the resiliency of STEM employment during COVID-19 [4].

Not only is this reflected in how students discuss thechallenges, but we also see this in their body language and how they respond to each other. We havealso seen that some students hold themselves from admitting that they faced challenges

Onementor reflected on the benefit of working with mentees who bring different perspectives onreviews: You don't have to be an expert in the field to be able to provide a useful and constructive review. In fact, in some cases, being an “outsider” gives you a different perspective of things and reflects how the wider audience may interact with a specific piece of research.While the program was initially designed to leverage mentors’ expertise and experience todevelop mentees’ reviewing skills, our evaluation demonstrated that both mentors and menteesderived valuable insights about conducting peer reviews in working collaboratively in theirtriads.A

. Specifically, we synthesize the following guidelines: (1) Planned change theory, likeKotter's change model, is an accessible place to start, but don’t expect the change process to belinear. (2) Embed a community of practice in existing structures and norms, such as facultymeetings. Be creative in bringing discussions of teaching into such spaces. (3) Developmultidimensional measures of student assets, growth, and development. Staying only withmeasures of progress on conceptual learning misses much about students' development aschemical engineers. With regard to supporting students, we also share two key strategies: (4)When teaching technical communication, offer limited but specific feedback and require revisionand reflection.

Ifso, briefly describe the situation." The average journal length was about a half-page. At the endof the week, the near-peer mentors were asked to "Reflect on your experiences as a mentor."After the program's conclusion, the second source was a group interview with both near-peermentors.

The EV battery module leveragescircuits course concepts, introduces students to sociotechnical material, and emphasizes thecircular economy in electrical engineering. We identify learning objectives for the module,provide pre-class activities and in-class teaching activities for circuits instructors, includingdiscussion prompts and practice problems. We also offer samples of post-class assessments,including reflection and computation questions for homework and exams.Introduction

We each reflected on the following prompts: • Describe the setting in which you have conducted research and assessments in informal STEM settings. • What questions were you investigating, and what methods were used? • What population(s) were you focused on? • How did you recruit participants?

Whileinnovation was previously viewed as an economic driver or technological concept in the20th century, modern times have innovation permeating into all branches of society, intending toseek and develop new knowledge and ideas (Lindfors & Hilmola, 2016). With this inclusion ofinnovation in society, students should be provided educational opportunities to developinnovation skills or practices that can better prepare them for the professional world as well asfor making both societal and personal impact.
