students expressed thatindicate their development of understanding JEDI principles: (a) Diversity and Inclusion: Integration of DiversePerspectives; (b) Equity, Justice, and Accessibility; and (c) Community-Centric Approach, although the evidencealso suggests that not all students fluently apply these ideas in a problem-solving context. Overall, the resultssuggest that the 1-credit seminar is effective to build essential literacy of JEDI, which will be instrumental in futurework in sustainability engineering and design.1.

The content ofthis faculty ad shows vision, values, and inclusion. The ad has some elements that one would nottypically see in a faculty ad, including (a) departmental values upfront and visibly clear, (b) asection describing our uniqueness and a vision of the kind of engineering program we arelaunching, (c) a section describing a vision of who we want. The ask for the candidates alsodemonstrate inclusion and an invitation to align with the vision and values
expectations about career paths and future roles in engineering aftercollege graduation.Purpose of the Study Given the necessity to have effective intervention programs such as Summer Bridge thatpromote URM participation in the STEM field, the study addresses the following researchquestion: 1) Does participation in the summer bridge program significantly increase a) self-efficacy, b) math outcome expectations, c) goal orientation, d) feeling of inclusion, e) knowledge of MSU and the engineering industry, and f) career success expectations among students? The current study hypothesized that participation in the SBP will positively influencestudents' self-efficacy levels, math outcome expectations, goal orientation, feeling of
