Arduino programming instructionwas performed using Tinkercad (tinkercad.com), a website that allows for Arduino programmingand circuitry simulations. PLC instruction was performed utilizing a free online PLC simulatorwebsite, “PLCfiddle” [1].At the end of each semester, students take a survey on their perceptions of the course. Includedin this survey are questions pertaining to programming instruction. These questions assessstudent confidence in programming and

continue addressing with the STEM Pride at UM initiative.IntroductionPeople who identify as sexual and gender minorities, i.e. members of the LGTBQIA+ 1 community,face numerous challenges when studying in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) fields, which leads to a decreased retention of these students [1], [2], higher rates ofcloseting [3], and increased rates of mental health issues [4], [5]. These challenges were largelyunexplored in the past, but there has been a recent increase in the number of studies focusing onLGBTQIA+ students in engineering and STEM [6]. These studies have found increaseddiscrimination, harassment, and bullying towards LGBTQIA+ students, and a chilly climate inSTEM, described as implicit or explicit

) Historically, harassment has been categorized based on legal definitions, verbal and/orpsychological, and behavioral. For instance, Fitzgerald and colleagues (1997) categorized sexualharassment under three main subtypes (also known as the tripartite model): gender harassment(e.g., sexual hostility, sexist hostility), unwanted sexual attention, and sexual coercion. Othershave categorized four varying definitions of sexual harassment: (1) legal, (2) psychological, (3)sex-based, and (4) behavioral and categorized them under objective (i.e., quid pro quo) andsubjective categories (e.g., hostile work environment) (Berdahl, 2007; Fitzgerald et al., 1997;O’Leary-Kelly et al., 2009). In addition, harassment can be identity or non-identity-based (Raver&

Their design solutions must meet the needs of stakeholders at different levels,from direct users to regulatory entities. To achieve these goals, educating engineering students in systemsthinking, which can facilitate such goals, is crucial to the students’ success and requires a teaching andlearning approach that is supported by a socio-technical context-rich environment. Instead of offering aproblem statement with pre-defined knowledge, educators should begin with presenting an engineeringproblem to students, training them on how to obtain and extract proper information to identify the trueproblem themselves.

, Undergraduate ResearchIntroduction and Relevant LiteratureThe idea of incorporating industry practices into software engineering education is not entirely novel.There is literature discussing the benefits students experience when software engineering courses aretaught in coordination with industry professionals. Generally, students appreciate when their courseworkis going to be relevant preparation for the industry, especially when those courses use industry tooling todo so [1]. More specifically, students appreciate tooling that provides automated feedback rather thanhaving to wait on a mentor or professor [2]. Such tooling is even more beneficial to students when theyare involved in the creation of the test harness itself as it prepares them for the

If a student does notbuild an understanding of the foundational concepts covered during those first weeks, they willbe unable to understand the remaining material in the course. Such students either strugglethrough the rest of the course as they try to learn past material and keep up with the current topic,or they withdraw from the course entirely. Thus, helping students understand the concepts in thefirst weeks of the course is essential to their continued success. Methods for identifying andhelping students who are likely to struggle in CS1 courses would be widely applicable,particularly since those courses are known to have a low passing rate (68%) [1].Students

IntroductionThe collection of Earth observation data relies on ground stations. In order to prepare aerospacestudents to work with satellites and space systems, they need to be aware of ground stations andtheir key functions. In the past, the cost of ground stations has limited their use to governmentand private space sectors, but with the decreasing cost of ground station components, groundstations are becoming more accessible to university aerospace programs.

Though programming istaught in many STEM disciplines, these introductory courses are often taught within computerscience and thus are typically referred to as CS1 [3]. Topics covered in a typical CS 1 courseinclude types, control flow, basic data structures (e.g., arrays), foundational problems andalgorithms (e.g., sorting), and simple recursion [4].CS1 courses are often seen as the entry point to computing

Education.1. Introduction The competency-based education model, widely supported in the literature [1]-[3], hasbeen one of the paths taken by higher education institutions concerned with offeringundergraduate programs aligned to the market and societal needs. The concept of competencyaims to link the market and academia, stimulating debates about what future engineers areexpected to know, do, and behave professionally. This concept is also essential in studies onthe profile of the modern engineer, and higher education institutions have been underpressure to develop competencies in their students to align with society and the labor marketneeds [4]-[7]. Yet, to achieve that, a curricular transformation is necessary to adapt teaching to
