Illinois.Wright College’s student success rates measured by completion have been strong and improvingrelative to other national urban community colleges, but are below state and national averages.In 2015 the college piloted a selective guaranteed admission program, Engineering Pathways (EP),to one of the nation’s top engineering schools (The Grainger College of Engineering at theUniversity of Illinois Urbana Champaign, UIUC). Initial results for the small first-year cohort werevery positive: 89% transfer rate and all students who transferred to UIUC graduated. Theprogram’s initial success rested on a) cohort model with a small number of students and strongcontrols; b) co-branding that attracted local students interested in pursuing engineering at UIUCwho
(Design)Data collection: A semi-structured interview [25] was used to collect data for the project. Theinterview questions were directed to bring out the participant’s direct and indirect perceptionsabout empathy and empathic interactions with students and lasted between 30 to 45 minutes.Some of the interview questions that were asked were, a. If there is any, could you share one or two positive experiences, or a very memorable interaction in your class with your students? and, b. In your own words, how would you define empathy?The interview was audio recorded and was transcribed by the researcher. The transcribed datawere anonymized to ensure confidentiality of the participant’s identity. The researcher shared thetranscribed data with

. Students worked in the lab up to 6 hours per week during the semester buildingpolymer actuators and a physiologically relevant dynamic testing setup (Figure 1). The cohortexperience formed a supportive community for students inside and outside the lab. In the lab,students collaborated to develop pneumatic and cable-driven biopolymer actuators and testingplatforms to inform biocompatible and wearable robotic devices. In addition to lab work, thegroup met weekly for structured mentoring sessions, performed outreach in the college ofengineering and attended external conferences and workshops throughout the year.

In the first experiment we conducted, we varied one parameter at a time from the nominal valuesof Lorenz63 and plotted the corresponding EMD metric approximation for N = 256 and N = 1024 clustersrespectively. In order to solve each discrete EMD problem, we used a linear programming formulation to obtainan exact solution. The results of this initial experiment are given in Figure 6: (a) EMD Metric (256 clusters) (b) EMD Metric (1024 clusters)Figure 6: EMD approximation metric under variations of single parameters from the nominal values of Lorenz63.

think I would give myself a strong six. And I think one of the reasons why I have a lot more improvement to do is - and we talked about this in the past - because of the time limit that I have with the kids. The discussion for each individual student or with each [...] group [about] bringing their funds of knowledge isn’t as big of a discussion as I would like because sometimes it’s just rushing to get from point A to point B. And I put a lot more of the load on students because there’s only one me and there’s -- let’s say we have six groups, for example.As indicated by Rosario, the number of classrooms or groups she managed, plus the curriculumlimited the time she was able to spend with each individual

The only category that seemed to be impacted by attendingthe cancer seminar was moral expansiveness, which counterintuitively, showed a decrease in thetreatment group (Fig. 3D). This was somewhat counterintuitive; however the absolute change isalmost negligible so the result is hard to interpret.Figure 3.
