In these studies, campus culture considered (1) classroom experiences, (2)faculty-staff relationship, (3) institutional support services, (4) peer interactions, (5) studenteffort to learn, (6) goal development and management, and (7) institutional commitment. As aresult, we integrated these components of campus culture into our understanding of institutionalclimate to ground our data collection approach and provide a helpful framework for uncoveringways in which institutional climate can impact how a Black HBCU undergraduate engineering orcomputing student navigates their post-graduate planning and decision-making.Identity and SuccessUnderstanding how an institution’s culture and climate support students’ personal identities is

He has co-developed a Materials Concept Inventory and a Chemistry Concept Inventory for assessing conceptual knowledge and change for intro- ductory materials science and chemistry classes. He is currently conducting research on NSF projects in two areas. One is studying how strategies of engagement and feedback with support from internet tools and resources affect conceptual change and associated impact on students’ attitude, achievement, and per- sistence.

one pre-collegiate engineering experience,such as science and engineering fairs or robotics competitions is correlated with an increase inengineering identity and retention. As expected, we found that these students are more likely toparticipate in engineering organizations, and plan to stay in engineering.Limitations and Future Work One limitation of this study is that it was given at only one university as a pilot. Some ofthe programs that we are investigating are highly selective, serving as few as eight students in ayear. In order to get sample sizes large enough for decisive results about individual programs,this study needs to be performed in aerospace engineering departments at multiple universities.In future studies, additional

In what ways do they find a more comprehensive learning experience empowering orconstraining? What do they appreciate the most about their programs? What changes do theywish to see? This paper looks into the “user experience” of educational initiatives that seek tobring together engineering and liberal learning.The analysis presented here draws partly upon my dissertation research, a cross-institutionalinvestigation of integrating engineering and liberal education.

Point in case, one study evaluated true college-level freshmen andsophomore students entering into STEM disciplines on their knowledge of high school mathbecause it was noticed that they struggle with basic mathematical concepts that are covered atthe high school level. Two major conclusions stemmed from the research: one, studentsspecifically struggle with seven particular high school topics [5], and two, students who takemore mathematics classes, whether at the high school or collegiate level, are apt to performbetter in math and engineering classes [2, 5].

The intention then was that cohort experiences at the technical collegeswould begin August 2020.Fall 2019, six students began the program in the pilot cohort. They had not been together as agroup prior to August 2019 and engaged in the S-STEM program activities without the benefit ofcohort-based learning experiences during their last year at their technical colleges.

Benefits noted by the new graduate nurses included: an easier transition, anintroduction to the first year experience, knowing there were people who were willing tohelp and cared, emotional support, awareness of common experiences, and a place to gowith questions. We assert that group-mentoring can similarly benefit engineeringstudents, particularly in situations where students outnumber the available mentors andresources are limited.The Virginia Tech College of Engineering (VT COE) similarly developed a group-mentoring program, Help Me

However, the findings of this study are expected to advance the state ofknowledge and understanding of (a) diverse pathways to and through engineering, and(b) the development of engineering-specific theories of how engineers are formed.A pilot study conducted in 2014-2015 showed that RATS and CFU scores on activitiesrelated to algorithmic thinking (AT) were significantly correlated with moderate to largeeffect sizes, ranged from 0.31 to 0.7315.

In a study conducted over 18 campuses,110 faculty members and 123 students were interviewed in 90-minute focus groups; twoadministrators from each campus were also individually interviewed. While the faculty andadministrators believed that the engineering ethics curriculum provided a “nuanced treatment ofcomplex issues, their students reported “hearing simplistic, black-and-white messages aboutethics” [11]. Due to observations of faculty approving or participating in unethical behavior,students also did not perceive the faculty as ethical role models

This is especially true with undergraduate engineering programs where a minimum standardized test score is frequently required for admission. This dynamic is relevant in Nebraska where the demographics of the high school graduates, and in particular the growth of the Hispanic/Latino/a population, is changing quickly.
