that Black talent development is lacking in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields in the U.S. and that these numbers are reflected inundergraduate and graduate admissions as well as the workforce. In this paper, we focus on theexperience of Black students in academia because it is particularly rife with gross inequities inparticipation and prone to racial stereotypes about ability and competence [1]. To understand thecontext of this study we must first understand the history of engineering in institutions of highereducation in America.BackgroundThe Morrill Act of 1862 established engineering as a major at institutions currently known asPWIs. From the very conception of the engineering collegiate culture in 1862

Balsa wood bridge competitions, for example, have beenaround for decades and are the “go to” engineering outreach activity, particularly for civilengineering programs, used to introduce students to engineering. They are fairly simple to runand can easily reach over 100 students. However, balsa wood bridge competitions are now facedwith the ever-growing popularity of other competitions related to robotics and rockets, and mostrecently drones. Competing with more flashy activities can make it difficult to attractparticipants, and even volunteers, especially if competition dates overlap. The traditional balsawood bridge competition simply requires students to build a bridge and

This paper, however, highlights a novel case of a dual creditmodel, referred to as the facilitator model, for first-year design courses. The case presentedoutlines procedures for developing and implementing such a model within engineering andtechnology programs. While this may not be the same process at each university, hopefully thisprovides some guidance to help navigate such a task. The facilitator model is a relatively newmodel for dual credit that was recently piloted with a cohort of high school juniors and seniors [2].For this

Though past research about online learning, in general,may shed light on instruction with online labs—e.g., [1], [2]—the experiential emphasis oflaboratory learning presents unique challenges in an online environment that must be addressed.Online labs have gained interest in education over the last decades.

However, if these projects are created without a social justiceframework, or undertaken without appropriate student training, they can often reify the inequitiesthey seek to resolve. When students are motivated by a “design-for-charity” mindset, they maydevise effective short-term solutions to a specific technical challenge, but fail to adequatelyimplement a successful long-term resolution [1]. These projects can often have a paternalisticquality, in which engineering students, outsiders to the community, decide upon the best courseof action for community members without taking into consideration the community members’needs, goals, or desires [2

WMDS is adimensionality reduction algorithm that, given high­dimensional data and variable weights asinput, can output a corresponding low­dimensional dataset that follows a “near == similar”metaphor.

The same report also revealed that nearly half of the respondentshighlighted a lack of awareness of LGBT+ issues in the workplace. Unfortunately, LGBTQ+marginalization is also found in academia.

Certainly, the chronic stressors associated with poverty affect emotional andcognitive development, which leads students from poverty to experience higher levels ofdepression and anxiety; students raised in poverty also tend to be more impulsive and impatient[1]. In addition, students may not have been taught the implicit rules of etiquette and socialgraces [2], leading their interactions with peers and faculty to operate outside the academic andsocial norms. These abnormal, and generally perceived as negative interactions may produce alack of acceptance from these groups, which can harm academic performance [1].
