Both the government and industry recognize need for an innovative diverse engineering workforce US to maintain global competitiveness. Because women comprise less than a fifth of undergraduates, it important identify practices that may counteract this gender gap in engineering. Unlike other work focused on recruitment retention women, study relies research theory college students inform overall design. It explores how variations curricular emphases, instructional practices, students'...
More than 1 in 3 undergraduate students transfers from one college or university to another, but many do not go on graduate. Literature suggests that service-learning pedagogy supports both social and academic integration; therefore, we examined whether transfer students' participation courses is related sense of belonging—an important predictor graduation. We conducted ordinary least squares estimation with institution fixed effects found who participated posttransfer had a higher...
This study explored the service-learning experiences of low-income, first-generation college students using a mixed-methods design that drew upon national longitudinal dataset and in-depth, face-to-face interviews conducted over course year half at three institutions in states. The purpose this was to increase understanding outcomes related participation for students. Findings indicated courses significantly positively development several academic affective increased success. presence...
Despite increased attention for environmental sustainability programming, large-scale adoption of pro-environmental behaviors has been slow and largely short-term. This article analyzes the crucial role ethics in this respect. The authors utilize an interdisciplinary approach drawing on virtue cognitive development theory to construct ethic discuss its implementation higher education. A meta-review research initiatives indicates that long-term requires cultivation sustainable persons. argue...
Institutions looking to make headway into the persistent challenge of recruiting, hiring, and retaining a more diverse faculty are often for playbook best or promising practices aid their efforts.

Space cybersecurity is increasingly discussed across commercial organizations and government agencies as threats to the space ecosystem publicly emerge. There a current gap in fundamental security research, with focused effort on cyber intrusion on-board spacecraft, which has led considerable education gaps community today. This paper describes MITRE Commercial Cybersecurity Research Lab (CSCRL) that been established address these gaps. We describe how using CSCRL its facilities help...
Public universities are intent on increasing degree completion for many reasons. A stronger policy focus and interest in removing students' financial hurdles has led to a rapid proliferation of grant programs. This paper reports mixed method implementation study programs at seven broad- open-access universities. Drawing case studies student surveys, we examine the work administrators professionals who create implement these As it can diminish program efficacy increase inequality, pay...

To improve college affordability and graduation rates, universities are increasingly allocating “completion grants” to students who nearing the finish line but facing financial challenges. Using an experimental design common program model across 11 broad-access public in ten states, we assessed impact of a completion grants averaging $1,200 distributed among more than 14,000 students. We find that, despite university expectations that most were near completion, only two-thirds eligible...
