Students Sense of belonging statistically increased across the first semester for cohorts 2015 and2016, remained statistically the same for cohorts 2017, 2018, and 2021, and statisticallydecreased for cohorts 2019 and 2020 (fall 2020 is the COVID-cohort). Of particular note is thatthe largest decline in sense of belonging over the course of the first semester was during the 2020COVID cohort year. This suggests that the first-semester social experience for the COVID-cohort may havebeen negatively impacted and was reflected in their reported sense of belonging. While the effectsize is small for all cohorts, the 2020 (COVID-cohort) reported the highest effect size withCohen’s d = 0.30, up to three times larger than in previous cohorts

Thedesign of the REM program—to be both inspirational and inclusive for the population of studentswho apply to be a part of CISTAR’s REM program—has been described at length already in anearlier paper [1]. Important to reiterate here, however, is that the 6-week program is specificallydesigned as a first-research experience (approximately 70% of our participants). Further, the REMstudent participants over the last two years have reflected our applicant pool as follows: an estimated80% Black/African American, 10% Hispanic/Latinx, 10% White, 50% female; and one‐third of thestudents are first-generation college. Thus, the students belong to several groups that areunderrepresented in STEM fields

are not explainedby a single theory [1, 8]. One solution that may help resolve these concerns about computernetwork education would be the use of computer network simulations [9]. Computer networksimulation is the imitation of real-world network communication scenarios using the software.The purpose of this simulation software is to reflect the quality of a given network designthrough the analysis of the performance of the simulation [7, 10]. Since computer networksimulation is a tool that is used regularly in the professional setting of network design andresearch, it would make sense that it would also be useful for educational purposes [9]. Thispaper aims to introduce the integration of OMNeT++, a network simulation environment

equity, diversity, inclusion, anddecolonization in the curriculum [2], [3]. In Canadian engineering education, Aikenhead et al.have explored the pragmatic implications of onboarding Indigenous topics through their conceptof “cross-cultural crossing” [4]. They argue that students' life-world subcultures aremultidimensional and may be different from the subculture of science, and so the curriculumdesign needs to account for such differences and crossings students need to make while learning.The work by Seniuk Cicek et al. has critically considered the role of Indigenizing the curriculumin the context of engineering education. Through a balanced “two-eyed seeing” approach, theauthors make the case for including and reflecting on both Indigenous and

For under-represented minorities, 7% reported workresponsibilities as a major obstacle, and 14% reported family responsibilities as a major obstacle.From these results, it is clear that first generation students in particular struggle with significantoutside demands that could impact their course performance.Only about one quarter of all students responded to the survey, so this may not be fullyrepresentative of all students.

Even with skills identified, there are some significant hurdles to changing anengineering curriculum. As technologies, businesses, and economic cultures change, so tooshould the skills engineers be taught. However, these cultural shifts can be rapid and are oftentoo fast to be reflected in curriculum updates[1]. There is also the concept of balance in thecurriculum; students do require some amount of fundamental technical knowledge to apply toreal world problems.
