three surveys are concerning,it is important to keep in mind that the effects of the GrOW initiative cannot be isolated. Mostparticipants attended only 1-3 events in the series. Other factors, such as societal and institutionalbiases and discrimination, may also be contributing to the participants’ decreasing feelings ofbelonging, anxiety, confidence, and preparedness. Despite these challenges, the program’s effortsto support and empower gender minority students in engineering were widely well-received, asshown through direct testimonials. By providing a space for these students to connect with oneanother and offering resources to navigate the unique challenges they may face, the program hasundoubtedly had a positive impact.

Writing in mechanical engineering is driven by a focus on clear and concise problemdefinition. It revolves around reporting problem-solving outcomes. Students practice defining problemsand writing reports on solutions concisely. This helps them attain the outcome of meeting audienceexpectations. Resources for students will include a guest speaker from the UWC and/or from industrywho present on how to write technical reports, memos, and emails with a clear purpose and their audiencein mind.

This is especially encouraging since learninghow to collaborate to achieve desired outcomes is one of the objectives of SEED Lab. It alsodoes not come as a surprise since the complexity of the project demands cohesive collaborationbetween members who are “experts” in a sub-discipline. Evidently, students realized how criticalteamwork is and therefore, it is something at the forefront of their minds as a pathway to success.For the team to succeed, more is required beyond the completion of individual pieces. When theteammates come together to integrate their subsystems, it gives them a means of practicing andlearning collaboration. The phase of integration

Contemporary pedagogicalapproaches, such as problem-based learning and entrepreneurially minded learning, have as acentral focus the desire to expose students to authentic experiences which integrate technicalknowledge with workplace skills connected to professionalism, communication, collaboration,and leadership. This approach can conflict with traditional engineering curricula where theinstruction of technical skills are frequently separated or deemed more important than “softskills” instruction in

Researchers should equip themselves with two types of knowledge: (a) knowledge on data science and machine learning, which is a driver of the fourth Industrial Revolution; and (b) knowledge specific to the types of student experiences (i.e., curricular and co-curricular) of their research interest. These two bodies of knowledge appear to be increasingly important to the interdisciplinary field of engineering education. Researchers also need to keep an open mind and explore a wider range of

Then students respond to multiple select questions to identifywhat is going particularly well in the course, both in class and on assignments. A third block ofquestions, suggested and vetted by Cornell’s Diversity Programs in Engineering Office, asksstudents about feeling included in the course. Using drill-down and multiple select optionsorganizes student's responses, making it more efficient to identify themes in the data. When thestudents' responses have been
