She wonders how she will get through her labs with a partner, let alone the career field.Eventually, she meets Mateo, a Latino engineering student in another section of Isabel’s course. She meets up with him to do homework in the student union after class and seems to be doing well in the course. Still, Isabel finds herself dreading going to class or seeing her classmates on campus.14. What strikes you first about this story? a.

. Thoman, San Diego State University Dr. Dustin Thoman is a Professor in the Department of Psychology and the Center for Research in Mathematics and Science Education at San Diego State University. His scholarship is grounded in social psychology, diversity science, and a social contextual framework of motivation. He studies how motivation can be supported or disrupted by the social and cultural contexts in which interests are sparked, developed, and ultimately become (or not) lifelong pursuits. He and his team utilize insights from motivation science to identify and remove institutional and social-contextual barriers that impede the development of educational and career interests for students from marginalized and

In a WisCom, learners collaborativelyfollow an inquiry cycle of learning challenges, exploration of possibilities and resources,continuous reflection, negotiation among fellow participants, and preservation of their new-found knowledge.We are applying this framework to generate a learning community among ECE students andinstructors [10]. Research shows that individuals in a shared academic community often interactthrough social media beyond their courses and become colleagues as they build their careers. Toremediate the lack of belonging that our Latinx ECE students feel, sociocultural learning theorieshave been proposed which frame the design, development, implementation

The robot must lift itself off the ground by grabbing onto the side of a vertical pole. The robot must be lightweight so that it can move quickly and elevate itself effectively. The robot must be durable to be able to withstand impacts from opposing robots. The robot must work alongside a defensive partner robot designed by another division of the robotics team.

articulation translates into market in-efficiencies that lead to significant equity issues. Indeed, transfer processes produce some of themost inequitable outcomes in all of higher education. In 2018 there were approximately 17 millionundergraduate students attending degree granting postsecondary institutions in the United States,with roughly six million of these students enrolled in community colleges.9 Of these students,based upon historical data, we can expect about 35% of the total population will transfer at leastonce and 11% twice during their academic careers. In doing so, they will on average lose theequivalent of one year of course work with each transfer.10 With the average annual cost of col-lege tuition at $3,500 for community colleges

then on the field trips, you got to see those technologies in action. I’m a first-generation student so, I didn’t know a lot of professionals while growing up. And I didn’t know a lot about those occupations so, it was really cool to see that and to have more things to talk to my students about. So, they won’t be like me and not know those jobs exist. They will know from the beginning.” d.

Participants include Mexican American middle and high school-aged youth in Southern California, USA, alongside Mexican American adult mentors and researchers. Study participants collaboratively designed a prototype workshop targeting future youth who may not consider engineering as a career, utilizing speculative fiction (e.g., Latinofuturism) to ignite interest while tapping into existing creativity, collaboration, and resourcefulness inherent in everyday engineering problem-solving. This holistic approach aims to render engineering more relevant

One student described a potentially novel phase between concept generationand evaluation as “thinning,” thus representing the team’s convergence towards a final designidea or set of ideas. Another student suggested adding a phase beyond evaluation that had aprototyping flavor. In short, students were drawing attention to aspects of their designexperiences where empathy was salient that the model did not explicate.DiscussionEmpathic design is an emergent design methodology, which traces its inception back to at leastthe work of Leonard and Rayport [5].
