Furthermore, only 6.5% of these degrees were awarded to Black students, and12.3% were awarded to Hispanic students. An increase in citations and publications citing theterm “STEM Outreach” (Figure 1) is evidence of interest in outreach within academia. Asoutreach programs are further developed for the purpose of early engagement for students fromgroups underrepresented in engineering, it is important for researchers to understand how toadapt research to outreach for students to create positive learning experiences.Figure 1.

problem forinstitutions of higher education for many years. But retaining engineering students is critical forthe modern economy; an increasing number of qualified engineers is needed to create and build theinfrastructure that is necessary in a globalized world. Unfortunately, students face unexpected chal-lenges in their freshman year. Researchers have discovered that many different experiences andperceptions lead to attrition, including low grades, feelings of belonging uncertainty, imposter syn-drome, financial issues, loss of interest in engineering, and other life stressors [1, 2, 3]. Although itis possible to intervene on any one of these factors and hope to make a difference, interventions thattarget the most important contributors to

Spanish term for “remix”- encompasses the combination,manipulation and mixing of music or other cultural products in the creation of something new[1]. This idea also alludes directly to the concept of hybridization, which lies at the core ofLatinidad and the essence of Latin culture, both musically [2] and culturally [3]. Remixing isconsidered not only a contemporary art form that cuts across multiple creative areas of the digitalrealm [1], but also an educational tool that provides a culturally authentic and creative form ofengagement for students [4]. The benefits of remixing as an educational approach were central tothe philosophy behind the creation of EarSketch, a music mixing software platform andeducational curriculum [5]. EarSketch

Although TBL was first implemented in business schools,team-based pedagogy can now be found across engineering, medical, and social sciencesprograms all around the world. Even though TBL provides students and instructors with manybenefits, students do not always benefit equally from this learning method due to issues withfree-riders or social loafing, work allocation, and communication, among others [3], [4].

specific number of points.This challenge was the catalyst to look for new methods of grading, though there were other drawbacks ofthe quality based grading that we also wished to overcome. Traditional grading has been shown topropagate biased and colonial structures [1]. The focus on single submission evaluations like examscaused a great deal of anxiety among students of all skill levels and contributed to greater errors andstereotype threat [2]. Finally, assigning a one-dimensional score to a student's work is necessarilysubjective and invites application of unconscious and conscious biases in grading. While these otherdrawbacks existed prior to the pandemic, their importance was often overlooked or underestimated.Labor-based grading had already

because ofworkforce shortages [1]. Contractors are frequently asking technical colleges if they have anystudents who can go to work immediately.So why is there such a shortage? One reason is the aging workforce. In 2021 the Bureau of LaborStatistics estimated that there were almost 1.2 million people between the ages of 55 and 64working in the construction and extraction (oil and mining) industries [2]. Also, according to theGlens Falls (NY) Business Journal, an estimated 31 million skilled trades workers retired in2020, and some 10,000 continue to retire every day [3].Another reason is due to the Great Recession of 2008 when large numbers of constructionworkers were laid off.
