While both of these proved to be much more forgiving than themore practical constraints of what we thought we could manufacture, the computation was avaluable exercise in computing and designing for theoretical constraints.

explicitly encouraged.NEO presents the holistic benefits of the skills TAs are learning, not just for their role as a TA,and use this as a framing for the whole training program. We approach the design of NEO withthe perspective that if we can help TAs develop skills to succeed in their own goals that they willhave more capacity to help their students succeed. More than simply training and onboarding, wepresent new TAs with these perspectives so they have the tools to mindfully approach their workas instructors, graduate students, members of the engineering and scientific communities, andabove all, as human beings. Further study is required to determine effectiveness of the training.Sources[1] Meyers, Chet, and Thomas B. Jones. Promoting Active

Clearlythere is more work to be done; however, acknowledging that gender plays a powerful role inthe college classroom and responding to the unique learning needs that women and men bring,we move closer to creating equitable learning environments for all our students (Gallos, 1995).In a study using data from the 2007 National Study of Living Learning Programs (NSLLP), Soldneret al. (2012) found that women’s and men’s participation in STEM-focused Living-Learningprograms is indirectly related to students’ likelihood of persistence in a STEM major throughthe social supports provided by the programs (Szelényi, 2013).REFERENCES –Brown, B.
