Informed from Patricia Hill Collins’ framework ofintersectionality,1 this research applies a mixed methods approach across three interrelated andparallel research phases. The specific research questions related to each phase, their preliminaryfindings, and future work are described in the following sections.Phase A: Institutional Analyses with Existing Databases In this stage, existing databases are used to answer the

This intervention was designed to be used within existing engineeringcourses, but can be adapted to other contexts. Metacognition involves knowing about andregulating one’s own cognitive processes (Flavel 1979, Brown 1987), and is foundational tobeing a skilled learner (Pintrich 2002

Generally, such tests cannot be donequickly nor on site.

This requires a strongeducation system with qualified and trained educators. While the American college leveleducators are willing to train this workforce, the K-12 education system is currently challengedby a crisis of inadequate teacher preparation in STEM disciplines leading to low studentpreparation and performance1.

This framework is replicable and can thus be deployed acrossuniversities as part of the CCEM curriculum.
