Theattrition across disciplines and in the US has received attention due to heightened competitivenesswithin global higher education [2]. Several crises, including financial/economic crises, Covid-19,and systemic racism (the combination of Covid-19 and racism being called the ‘dual pandemic’[3]) together have decreased students’ certainty

elements (i.e., peers, instructor, and in-class instruction) were discussed in 55% of thereflections as positive “surroundings.” Within the classroom ecosystem, feelings about positiveCoI “surroundings” balanced 54% of respondents who discussed the physical room attributes asnon-supportive to learning. Interestingly, when students identified their CoI as a type ofsurrounding, they less-frequently identified physical attributes of the classroom as non-supportive.Thus, the presence of a Community of Inquiry may have diminished the perception or impact ofphysical room features. Overall, our results preliminarily suggest the positive influence that aninteractive flipped classroom structure can have on students’ perceptions of their “surroundings.”1

separating this course out is twofold: 1. To remove the computationalrequirements for Intro to Engineering Design so it is accessible to any student at the college, and2. To have students gain another transferrable skill early in their academic career.When designing the introductory courses for this program, we also considered the local K-12landscape, as we draw many students from these schools. Students can receive college credit forour Intro to Design class if they complete an introductory course through the Project Lead theWay high school curriculum and a capstone project at their high school. Based on expressedinterest by the high schools, we are offering a section of our first-year MatLab and CAD coursesin the evening in addition to the more

pursuing higher education, particularly in demanding STEM majors, is notsimple. Some young people in lower socio-economic status (SES) households have many morethings to consider than ‘am I qualified?’ Their decisions generally involve other family membersand home responsibilities [1] [2]. To work through these considerations and to prepare for anacademically demanding collegiate major, and then be denied admission into it at their local stateinstitution can be emotionally crushing [3] [4]. It is particularly upsetting when it is known thattraditional engineering admissions metrics discriminate against otherwise qualified students fromchallenged backgrounds [5] [6].

These individuals sufferfrom reduced retention rates and longer timeline to graduation [2, 3, 4, 5]. Non-traditional studentsoften use non-curricular work to finance their education. This employment is most often temporarynon-STEM jobs [6]. Working less than 15 hours per week can be beneficial to an educationalprogram [7]. Non-traditional students often work at least 20-40 hours per week. The same reportidentifies these longer work hours as a risk for academic success.

harrowing for gender minority (GM, e.g.,transgender, gender nonbinary) students [1]–[8]. The STEM climate is important to address dueto its likely impact on the lower persistence of sexual and gender minority (SGM) students [9]–[12]. Professional STEM societies provide students with a range of resources that help thempersist in STEM [13]. Specific societies created to serve LGBTQIA+ STEM students, such asoSTEM, have been shown to help students manage their identities in STEM in the face ofunwelcoming STEM climates. At the same time, these societies may offer less professional andacademic resources and prioritize identity management [4], [14], [15].

In PBL, students work collaboratively or individually toaccomplish the project tasks that require content knowledge and skills and produce a product toshow their knowledge of the content [2]. The assignments in PBL require students to acquire andapply information, concepts, and principles and they have the potential to improve students’competence in thinking (learning and metacognition) [3].

Forinstance, black women, who pursue CS as a career choice, experience significantunderrepresentation in the field.
