at ASEE in June, suggested that this approach with weeklyquizzes might also show higher grades, as did the ONU research.2 Last fall the practice quizzeswere required, but this semester they are completely optional. The quizzes do form a backstopfor the grades on the weekly quizzes: a student who scores 100% on the three practice quizzesfor the week is guaranteed at least a 50 on the weekly quiz.MethodsThis paper presents exam scores for the fall semesters 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

will have a wide variety of interests,some of which they may not wish to share with students, but simple things like a favorite color,type of music, or interesting place they have visited could help to foster a sense of connectionwith students, leading to stronger engagement with their professors and an enhanced educationalexperience. Future work could include systematic studies on the impact of this sense ofconnection, in order to determine how it might impact students’ feelings of belonging, motivation,and class performance.References [1] K.

many Latin*groups across the US. However, unlike other Minority-serving Institutions (MSIs), the HSIdesignation is appointed at the federal level, where institutions of higher learning may apply tobecome HSIs once their undergraduate enrollment reaches or surpasses the 25% Hispanic/Latin*student threshold. This definition, coupled with the change in demographics across the Nation,has resulted in a deluge of newly minted HSIs in the past decade alone. Yet many of theseinstitutions join the ranks of HSIs without having an established mission to serve the needs ofunderrepresented communities, and those of the Latin* community, specifically (Aguilar-Smith,2021; Vargas & Villa-Palomino, 2019).

Background Engineering is largely dominated by cisgender, heterosexual, white men (ASEE, 2023; Lee et al., 2020) LGBTQ+ people in engineering must contend with a heteronormative and hypermasculine climate.
