graduate, having an entrepreneurial mindset will help thembecome creative and valuable engineers. “EML is not about start-ups, it is about thinkingcreatively and creating value for society” [2]. However, it is not easy for students to build upentrepreneurial skills within one course or a couple of courses in an already crowded engineeringprogram. The College of Engineering (CoE) at Colorado Technical University (CTU) decided toembed entrepreneurial skills in engineering learning activities for a number of coursesthroughout the program curriculum, requiring an efficient and integrated process. Byincorporating EML in different course sequences such as circuits, electronic design, andcommunication sequences, students will have the opportunity to

This selection process requires the ideas generated previously befleshed in the form of basic configurations that can be evaluated, for instance, as a computer modelto determine whether these preliminary designs are feasible and practical. Often this is a hands-onphase of design, where the team makes simple or more sophisticated prototypes and conduct teststo see if they meet the design specifications. To facilitate testing of the ideas, an overall systemmight be decomposed into a series of sub
involvescreating situations in which reflecting on how the designs have changed over time servesa purpose for the student—so they experience it as useful.This proposal aligns with research that suggests that students’ perception of their task iskey to the ways in which they perform those tasks. For example, Berland and Reiser3found that students engaged in the communicative practice of scientific argumentationdiffered depending on whether they believed they were attempting to demonstrate theirown knowledge or to win a debate. In addition, researchers in communicationdemonstrate that student’s written products change depending on the perceivedaudience20,21,23. Similarly, Forte and Bruckman (2009)13 demonstrated that students usedmore technical vocabulary

looking at student support through this lens is that the MCCS provides a way todeconstruct student support and identify the underlying experiences. This multipronged approachis advantageous because, while specific interventions may not be transferable, students’experiences can transcend contexts within and across institutions. For example, instead ofinvestigating the impact of peer mentoring programs—which are not often identical—this lensallows us to investigate the impact of the overall perception of interactions that students havewith other students outside of the classroom.Research Design& RationaleThe development of the survey instrument is being carried out following best practices asdefined by DeVellis [2] and Gall, Gall & Borg [3

Research has shown that addressing the topics in Table 1 cansignificantly impact student retention. These workshops provide students with tools forsuccessful degree navigation as well as a network of support at their institutions, in the broaderRDI cohort, and the larger online network. Underlying every session is the understanding that students are aiming to persist in anenvironment that was not designed for them. Through our sessions, we provided validation thatfeelings of not belonging are real and valid (Gardner & Holley, 2011; Gildersleeve et al., 2011;Wood et al., 2016), but also that they can succeed with supportive tools.

Byengaging in this online learning experience, individuals will develop the skills needed to exploreaquaponics as a controlled environment system for potential future use in the industry. Theresults from this research will be used to submit external proposals that focus on data-drivenmethodologies for evaluating the educational impact and effectiveness of online aquaponicsinstruction. Overall, this study presents a structured framework for online aquaponics education,emphasizing accessibility and engagement.

Research has shown that graduate students’ educational experiences aresignificantly impacted by their relationship with their adviser, yet this relationship is one of themost frequently mentioned challenges by international students. Based on the literature review,we argue that being aware of intercultural competence is essential for STEM faculty to providepositive advising experiences for international graduate students. Despite the promise ofintercultural competence promoting effective and healthy advising relationships, there islimited literature about its use at the graduate level in STEM.
