via an NSF RAPID award createdby the IUSE program in the Division of Undergraduate Education (Education and HumanResources Directorate), using funds from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security(CARES) Act.1. IntroductionIn response to COVID-19, institutions have required students to pursue online, hybrid (withdesignated times to attend in-person and online), hyflex (with flexibility to attend in-personand/or online) and other remote course formats to contribute to student and societal health andsafety. At the same time, such shifts in course formats raise potential concerns for students’learning and experiences in class, especially students’ sense of belonging, or sense of “perceivedsocial support on campus” and “connectedness” [1

traditional didactic approach to teachingphysiological concepts geared toward those with less experience in the subject would risk failingto engage or challenge the more experienced students, whereas an approach paced toaccommodate those with at least some prior background in the subject risks leaving those withno background in physiology behind—especially given the challenges inherent in teachingphysiological concepts [1]. Our challenge was therefore to deliver instruction that simultaneouslyengaged the full breadth of engineering graduate student backgrounds while also providingsufficient rigor for a quantitative graduate-level understanding of physiology.Flipped classroom models have been shown to enhance graduate student learning andengagement in

Some of the findings from these studies are summarized here.Characteristics of Gen Z StudentsToday’s Gen Z students are different from millennials in the following ways [9-12]: • Gen Z students generally have a shorter attention span than millennials. Typically, they pay attention to only 8 seconds of exposure to a video or to other learning materials before deciding whether to continue. Approximately 11% of Gen Z students have been diagnosed with ADHD. 1 • As

Although valuable, these courses by themselves are not enoughpreparation for the challenges that students face when called upon to write as an engineer.Engineering writing is significantly different from general writing. For one thing, the content ofengineering documents is, on the whole, both more specific and more complex than the contentof essays in general writing courses [1]. Second, not only do the types of audiences vary more inengineering, but so do the levels of knowledge that the audiences have about the content. Yet athird difference is that the expected level of precision in engineering writing is higher than theexpected precision in general writing [2, 3]. Still a fourth difference concerns the

Most first year engineering studentswho left aerospace redirected their studies outside of the college of engineering and theremaining transferred to other engineering departments. As a whole, the aerospace departmentdoes not have a threshold of how many students should be retained, but there are investigationswhen certain classes have higher student drop outs than normal. Students most commonlychange from the aerospace engineering major because 1) they believe their major is too specific,therefore providing a more limited range of job opportunities post-graduation and 2) theyperceive courses to be harder than expected (freshman year, in contrast

Mindfulness is one tool able to reduce levels of mood disorders, andimprove a person’s ability to cope with stress [4, 5].

This increase innon-white populations is not represented in the science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) workforce. Hispanics are 15% of the US population, but they account foronly 6% of STEM workforce [8]. Blacks represent 12% of the population but are only 5% of theSTEM workforce [8]. For women, the difference is even more egregious. Women are 51% of thepopulation but are only 15% of the engineering workforce [8].

(2001). 1 Althoughthe ADVANCE program has contributed to the development of a more diverse science andengineering workforce, much remains to be done. Women face deep-seated challenges fromwhen they enter academia as students and these challenges continue through the faculty ranks[34, 39]. As undergraduate students, women encounter differential treatment within theclassroom, contributing to a different and inferior experience than men. Women’s contributionsto classroom discussions tend to be ignored or trivialized by men [40]. Women cope with thismarginalization by creating their own networks of support through close bonds with otherwomen and forming all female clubs [27, 34, 35]. Additionally, the inclination for males tooutnumber the females

In the career ofnursing, it is often overlooked that the nature of such a career can be technically and emotionallychallenging. While human relations are a large part of the work, the technical aspects arefrequently overlooked. It is particularly interesting to note that 75% of the teachers inelementary and secondary schools are women [1]. Of course, the women teachers are typicallyonly teaching non-technical subjects.
