effect on student careers.)Overview of ProgramThe summer program is offered through an office located in our College of Engineering. Thepurpose of this office is to “educate, recruit, and retain underrepresented populations in STEMfields through mentoring, academic coaching, counseling, and academic enrichment.” Amongtheir offerings is a summer program called PEER/WISE Experience (PWE). PWE is aimed atentering freshmen who have declared a major in a STEM discipline. It is a three-week, three-credit-hour residential program where students get to experience college life, albeit within amuch more structured setting. (See Appendix A for a typical daily/weekly schedule.)There have been several such programs at Clemson over the past 30 years, with the

Leading to the research question of this study: 1. How has the stigma associated with community college impacted students' decisions to attend a community college? 2. What do the stories of students that attended community college reveal about braving the stigma?

understanding of the processes that go intoengineering. We did this all through the supersize rocket bus project. We were taught thefundamental engineering knowledge that we will need for our future in this career. Using the data,we collected from the launches, we learned about excel, numerical integration, graphing, andcalculations. Although the first data set was inconclusive, the other two sets of data were able tocreate data that made accurate distance, speed, and velocity. The inconclusive data did stillprovide a necessary engineering lesson which is that all data cannot be conclusive. Some will notwork out and that why we do multiple trials. Along with data, we also learned many skills that willbe useful for our engineering career. Teamwork and

Third, because activities are concreteand actionable, they may more clearly express the intent of the instrument and more authenticallyreflect a student’s interest.Using the US Department of Labor’s MyNextMove [21] interest inventory as a model to developthe instrument, we developed our own instrument to evaluate student interest in the five categories.MyNextMove is a research-driven tool provided by the US Department of Labor to help peopleexplore career options based on interests. Participants express their interest in a variety of job-related activities using a Likert-like visual scale. Examples of activities include “Repair householdappliances”, “Study the movement of planets
revealed that students developed a considerable degree of spatialthinking throughout the course of the semester when compared with undergraduate students inother disciplines [8]. Similar to its relationship with undergraduate academic success, spatialability is a profitable asset for professionals engaged in STEM careers [7], [9]. Research hasfound that spatial ability can be learned through targeted interventions, exposure to spatiallanguage, and participation in spatial activities [10], [11]. Furthermore, once learned, spatialability is malleable and can be maintained and developed over time [12]. This is particularlypromising in the context of developing targeted interventions aimed at fostering spatial ability.Of particular interest to the

I know there were large groups ofstudents at my school who were not explicitly encouraged to dream about longer termeducational pursuits and careers. Looking back at these experiences have made me seek outopportunities to try to improve college access, especially for students who, for whatever reason,are not encouraged to consider how their unique skills and experiences might align well withfuture engineering and technical careers. Also relevant here is that I have been a resident of the broader rural region in which thisproject took place for 15 years and while affiliated with the institution I have also been involvedwith several organizations

In practice, students often complete the Immersion later in their careers, after theyhave taken another seminar and/or other components. The metaphor of immersion is consciouslychosen: the idea is for a student to allow themselves to absorb an experience in 360 degrees, totake it in, and to begin to process it, but with an emphasis on observation. In this way, it’s mostclosely linked with the Honors Ability (our program learning outcomes) Embrace Ambiguity [8].Later components, including the Honors Project and Leadership/Mentorship, engage the Actwith Purpose

. Background, Motivation, and Goals for the CourseOur university, Loyola University Maryland, is a private liberal arts institution of approximately3800 students. Loyola focuses primarily on undergraduate studies and features STEMdepartments in engineering, computer science, physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics.The proposed courses in quantum computing will be taught by professors in electricalengineering, physics, and computer science. The goals of the courses are as follows: 1. The courses will have prerequisites that can be typically met in the freshman year. This will make our courses accessible to students with more diverse backgrounds earlier in their college careers, which will help with inclusion and retention of students
average school gradesand weighing this result with a ranking associated with their school. This weighing aims toreduce the importance that a single selection test may have and so provide opportunities tounderrepresented groups in higher education. However, this system has been widely criticizedfor not fulfilling its central aim and worse still in that it increases discrimination against studentswho come from less favored sectors. In Engineering degrees in particular, the SUA calculates thescores by assigning different weights to the ranking, which may vary from 10% to 40%depending on the engineering career considered.This present study seeks to analyze the different sources of information that the SUA systemuses to determine the correlation that

Education, 2023 Analysis of Qualifications for Entry-Level Positions in Construction ManagementConstruction management graduates must possess a mixture of technical, soft, and technologicalskills in order to fulfill their job responsibilities as a project engineer, estimator, field engineer,etc. at the start of their career. There is a lack of information on the exact skills that are requiredof a recent graduate to occupy these entry-level positions in the construction industry. This studyanalyzed job listings in order to understand most common qualifications expected of graduatesand their most common responsibilities in construction. The researchers qualitatively analyzed agroup of 40 companies that

withinmovement building, an emergent line of research has turned to social movement schools (SMSs):organizational sites designed to bring together, educate, train and mentor individuals to beeffective and committed movement actors [6]. These intentional spaces empower theirparticipants to enact change [4], impact participants’ subsequent careers [7] and lead to thediffusion of a movement praxis across generations [5]. However, this literature has so faroverlooked the resource mobilization processes through which participants build the capacity forchange-making. This gap is important, because accessing, producing, and distributing resourcesare key to the survival and success of social movements [8], [9].Resource mobilization theory emphasizes the
