A diversity of experience, thought and perspective enriches theproblem-solving process. Our Diamond Model, shown in Figure 2, illustrates the need for“survivors” to help solve complex medical problems because the doctor alone cannot make adiagnosis without a complete understanding of the symptoms explained by the patient.For example, in a shipyard, the welder may have some

Financial Security: In some of the sessions, participants quipped that they were feelinganxious about making ends meet. Some voiced they worried about whether they would be able tocomplete their degrees because they were not sure whether they should pay tuition and buybooks, or pay rent, buy food, or baby diapers.

Therefore, instead ofgiving up, Edgar made use of his aspirational resources and chose to continue with hiseducation in a more affordable university. As the literature from LatCrit theory indicates,resilience and resistance are forms of aspirational capital that Latinx students leverage toaccomplish their goals [3]. Edgar’s account represents an illustrative example of usingaspirational resources to navigate the financial struggle of paying for his college education.After Edgar adapted his plans to a

Co-learning occurs primarily within design teams, which areassigned by the instructors in the first core integrated course, and students decide their owngroups in the second core integrated course. The program overall is designed to augment the wayin which students learn across multiple semesters and plans-of-study rather than just serving asadditional courses to add to their course load. Therefore, the program is designed to provide allstudents, regardless of their major, a multi-semester learning experience focused on the actualpursuit of innovation. By doing so

inclusion of a sharedtopic, meaningful to both engineering and composition, helps to expose the inherent linkages of thediscipline to the student. Michigan Tech plans to build on this pilot study by expanding the number ofstudents enrolled in cohorts that include both engineering and composition courses.While not directly part of this study, the faculty engaged in the process found the once a week meetingswere helpful on several levels. These meetings served as: ● a brief check-in for topic progression throughout the semester ● a chance to tweak and leverage assignments or topics ● a bridge building activity between disciplines ● a means to identify students who were strugglingThese meetings were scheduled weekly on Zoom, and typically

During the course of ME 461/462, typically 3-5 students form adesign group to conduct a specific design project under mentoring of one or two facultymembers. Therein, the ME 461 focuses on project plan, budgeting, conceptual and final designs;the follow-up ME 462 focuses on revised design and budgeting, prototype fabrication of the finaldesign that is accomplished in ME 461.

We can compare the actual and thepredicted talk times using figures 3 and 4. Corresponding to analyses from confusion matrices, it canbe seen that PC and SC classes are predicted lesser than their actual duration while AD is predictedto have higher talk time than is the reality. With better precision, these details can be useful toteachers in planning their classes for improved participation and more equitable talk time among theparticipants. Figure 3. Actual talk time for

28%. These large percentages are of concernconsidering the same equipment is used by the students 3 to 4 times per semester. Our labstudents typically work in groups of 4 to conduct experiments, and do not have a lab practicalexam on how to use the equipment. We have observed that when lab groups are not closelysupervised some students wait for others to acquire the lab exercise data, which they share, anddo not gain as much experience using the equipment. Since they know there is no exam theyknow they will not be held accountable. Our plan is to try to increase student accountability byexperimenting with smaller lab groups, requiring a practical exam, and then repeating theassessment. 5) Conclusions The technology program students were
