] conducted a literature review summarizing the findings of 58 articles from 13 differentcountries about the different equity-oriented approaches in education from 2010 to 2020. Thepapers were categorized into 4 different education interventions: programmatic configurations,curricular settings, pedagogical approaches and learning activities. The programmaticconfiguration category refers to integrating equity methodically into the most important elementsof education programs, for instance curriculum design, admission process, internships, andteaching. The program curricula category refers to off-campus experiences and academic courses.The pedagogical approaches category refers to fundamental rules, models, or educational teachingstrategies. The

the risk of bodily injury. During this course, emphasis was placed on developing theability to choose the correct tooling that is required to complete a part in the most efficient andprecise manner. The material selected to build thrust stand was 80/20 because it is designed to belight, sturdy, and easily implemented. However, machining was necessary to make the parts forthe stand. This was achieved with the use of two machines (Bridgeport vertical mill and Jet Toolshorizontal bandsaw). The proper usage of those machines was also covered in the class. Introduction to electrical engineering (ECE 2001) covered DC circuits and analysis methodssuch as mesh analysis, node analysis, and circuit reduction methods. AC circuits were alsoexplored

Mentoring by non-familyconstruction professionals has also been recommended as an effective recruitment tool [2 and 4], howeverresearch revealed that this type of mentoring has a small impact on individuals in under-representedgroups to decide to enter the industry [5]. Despite this, many schools and associations have createdprograms (e.g., the Architecture, Construction, Engineering [ACE] mentoring program) aimed to increasewomen’s interest and participation in construction degree programs [6].Others assert that colleges and universities have not made enough of an effort to recruit women, despitetheir acknowledgement of the need to increase minority enrollment to meet industry demands [2 and 7].In their study of schools with construction

The majority of these interactionstypically take place in the classroom, but also happen during office hours and extracurricular ac-tivities.Office hours provide a valuable opportunity for students to ask questions, obtain help for theirspecific situation, get mentoring, and engage with course content with an expert. This activeinteraction with a faculty member can provide valuable learning for students, and previous studieshave found that office hours can improve student course performance. A study by Guerrero andRod found that for each office hour attended students saw a 0.77% increase in their grade evencorrecting for overall GPA, gender, race, and family income [3]. A study

Some students will cheat and more students will cheat if others students get away with it. Thereputation of the program/college/university will suffer where cheating is prevalent. Some facultypretend cheating doesn’t exist or believe cheating only hurts the cheater. Some faculty use manyexcuses to not pursue cheaters. Cheating hurts everyone, especially the borderline D/C student whodoesn’t benefit from a curve because some cheaters “aced” the exam and fooled the instructor intobelieving the exam was more doable that it really was.
