in shifting student bias towards inclusion in the three interventions. The mostpromising approach is student-led, where senior students worked to change the student culturedirectly.Introduction and BackgroundImproving diversity in STEM fields is an important goal and has been widely studied. It is well-known that students and professionals in STEM careers in the USA do not reflect the generalpopulation of the country [1]. For example, white men make up 31.6% of the general populationwhile they make up 51% of scientists and engineers. Black men make up 6% of the populationand 3% of the STEM workforce. The percentage of non-white and non-Asian people in the USAis 31.3% while the percentage of this sub-population working in STEM is just 12%. In

The first-year course introduces students toprinciples of reflection as a building block of SDL, in addition to design thinking, and thebiomedical engineering (BME) field. In the middle years’ courses, students engage in signaturelearning experiences that foster their entrepreneurial mindset and encourage them to integratewhat they are learning with some of their prior extra- and co-curricular experiences. In their thirdyear, students complete a new, major-required course entitled The Art of Telling Your Story thatacts as a type of capstone experience in this vertically integrated curriculum.The

. The earlier in their education engineers are exposed to the layers ofabstraction associated with the leaps from experiment to project and product, the more theywill be able to advance not only their own craft, but the field altogether. The stakeholders whobenefit from a self-reflective engineering force will live comfortably and sustainably, so longas engineers are equipped to recognize all the abstract constraints they face in the design oftheir processes and products.Frameworks like Engineering for One Planet help offset the simple unfathomability ofchallenges on time scales incomprehensible to engineers and their stakeholders today.

The intent was to better understandhow students, who are uncertain about their choice of major at the start of the fall semester, cometo a decision about which major to declare. And why some students who are more confident oftheir intended major at the start of the semester end up changing their intended major. Theprimary question being asked is: What can the 1st-year engineering program do to better aid students in their choice of major?An estimated 40% of entering 1st-year engineering students are uncertain about their choice ofmajor [1].

. Modern media and academic sources have repeatedlyreported the stress and impacts of an education crisis. Students of all ages have beenasked to isolate and learn without the social support of their classmates and teachers.The grief over the loss of community has been noted and described with reports ofemotional, mental, and physical distress [1]. The grief being described in the ongoingreports equates to a trauma, and while trauma can imply a psychological injury it can initself become a mental health problem [7]. As the pandemic overtakes its one-yearanniversary, educators must reflect on the potential impacts from the prolongedisolation and loss on both individuals and communities and those impacts on the futureof higher education.

However, I do feel once we are allowed to go back to school, we will be able to have a much better and improved experience with these projects.From the survey responses collected from the participants, it is evident that many students ex-pressed a better understanding of engineering discipline when the course was offered in virtualmode.

Engineering”, Alonso [11] studied how engineering identities intersect with other identities. This study brings another element to the framework of Intersectionality - the individual’s perception and a peer’s perception of them being identified as an engineer. To clarify, we are not only observing if the individual identifies as an engineer but how that reflection compares to them feeling they are being portrayed as an engineer within their community. It is a matter of discerning which factors contribute to these identities and which factors dissociate the student with that identity. Through our study, it was apparent that this identity could be solidified by being established prior to attending college. Rincon [5] states [that] “...expressing early

Additionally,because each platform implements rapid development methodologies differently, there can beinconsistencies and some expected feature sets do not always come out-of-the-box (OOTB) [11].RAD is most prevalently used in commercial applications because projects are “schedule intenseand require amalgamate set of team members” [9]. These requirements are the same for capstonedesign courses [2], [3] and research-centric projects. Further research suggests that whenpresented with the same set of independent software variables to examine, student developers’analysis is statistically similar to that of professional industry developers [12], indicating thatstudent behavior is reflective of developer behavior in industry.

Transfer is also aided by reflection, which is often incorporatedinto problem-based learning. In brief it is worth considering that in disciplines like engineeringwhere addressing contingencies in practice is important knowledge matters, but experience maymatter more. Ultimately, we become what we do so techniques such as cases, simulations, andPBL allow students to gain experiences with applying contingent knowledge. If designedeffectively these learning experiences can transfer to practice.Another area that most of these degree programs have in common are some form ofcomprehensive examination before an individual is licensed for

On the contrary, MSUstudent population scores align with the characteristics of a more collectivist culture.The analysis by gender revealed that female students reported a score lower than the generalpopulation at both institutions, with 33.98 for MSU and 36.31 for UPRM.
