projects through which the Youth Scholars framed theirlearning about socio-technical issues. Our ultimate goal was to remove barriers to participation,preparedness, and identity development for students from populations underrepresented inengineering. In the current study, we focus on the extent to which participants gained socio-technical engineering knowledge as they engaged in program activities, and we consider theimplications for future such learning programs.These Youth Scholars learned about photovoltaics, engineering, community engagement, andcollege success; (b) collaboratively designed a community solar engineering research project thatcontributes to a larger program of research; and (c) communicated about energy policy withneighborhood

The in-class activities engaged students with oneof three data sets: • A student writing data set, which included 99 files of student technical and scientific writing, including abstracts, critical reviews, process explanations, progress reports, proposals, and white papers. All the texts earned a grade of “A” or B” from the instructors of record. • A professional writing data set, which included 240 files of published writing in cell biology, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, applied linguistics, marketing, philosophy, and physics.

Continuing collaboration with the counseling center, as well as research on similarefforts on other campuses, will undoubtedly inform the details of these implementation efforts.References[1] National Institute of Mental Health.

In what ways might participation in immersive virtual reality experiences promoteempathy, impact shifts towards more inclusive mindsets and result in corresponding behaviorsthat cultivate inclusive environments? A. How might exposure to complex and delicate scenarios enable engineering faculty perceptions to shift towards being more inclusive? B. How might exposure to complex and delicate scenarios raise an awareness that fosters empathy for engineering faculty? C. How might perception of the physical world change when virtual embodiment pushes the boundaries by what is felt and seen in the
