for educational purposes, a pragmatic pedagogical approach is needed to assistin the integration of simulations, based on best practices in education, to ensure that thesimulations are utilized effectively as part of a well-designed curriculum.To answer the question, “How can computational simulations be effectively used as apedagogical tool?” we draw from Bransford’s framework of How People Learn (HPL) 11, basedon a synthesis of and our experiences with a sophomore materials science course. The NRCreport, How People Learn (HPL)11, synthesized the research literature concerning the ways thatnew information is learned and conceptual change occurs in a format that is easily digestible fora wide audience.

Given these starkstatistics, the retention of the Black population in graduate and undergraduate engineeringprograms becomes imperative for establishing a diverse and robust workforce [8], [10].The systemic and cultural racial biases inherent within educational institutions contribute to themarked dearth of Black students in engineering doctoral programs. Even as research begins tounravel the experiences of Black Ph.D. students in engineering – from motivations and persistenceto encounters with racial microaggressions – the disparity remains, underscoring the need fordeeper exploration.
