It is imperative that graduate education beconsidered as an important element.

Most institutions require research activity which is documented through grant proposalsubmissions and peer-reviewed publications. Before embarking on these time-consumingactivities, one must first choose a suitable research project. For junior faculty members freshfrom their Ph.D. work, this selection process can be discouraging, especially if the researchinvolves experimental studies.

One instructor elaborated, “I started to do that, like actually trying to get them towork together more, because I want, because there’s so few, there’s so few women, and there’s sofew, like you, African Americans, and Latinos.”Communication was cited as critical in the job interview process and more broadly. Several of theeducators described the need for students to be able to clearly present ideas to a range ofaudiences and how practice could be beneficial. They found distinctive ways to make this part oftheir lessons. For example, as one participant mentioned: I also

advance linguistic equity by creating space for more multilingual andmultimodal activities in elementary school classrooms.IntroductionThe number of elementary school students designated as English learners has increased and willcontinue to increase in U.S. schools. In schools emergent bilingual students are often subjectedto low-level content and lower expectations than their monolingual English-speaking peers. Forexample, school leaders may believe that multilingual children need to learn basic Englishlanguage skills first before they can engage in science inquiry and engineering design. Incontrast, other approaches position multilingual and emergent bilingual students in light of theirassets [1]. Our project, thus, views multilingual learners

In this project, questions are deliberately presented in a coherent manner throughout the game to assist students in deciding what they already know about the problem and what needs to be explored further. Doing so forces students to conduct the sophisticated kind of thinking required for drawing inferences and developing interpretations.

Being a new program, the challengelays in recruitment of students into the nuclear engineering classes. There are a couple ofpossible causes for this. First, lack of African Americans in nuclear related professionsnationally contributes to absence of role models and community of peers.
