However, previous studies have shown that passive learning videos with stagnant quizzesmay not affect learning outcomes or change students’ perception of learning [1]. Consequently,we conduct a systematic investigation of video platforms that enable active learning interventionswith clickable content and exercises to provide real-time feedback to students during virtual videolectures. We investigate several platforms to measure their aptitude for offering active learningopportunities. We develop a preference matrix with four main criteria: cost, interactivity, learningmanagement system (LMS) integration, and data analytics. We explore 53 highly ranked andpopular video

in shifting student bias towards inclusion in the three interventions. The mostpromising approach is student-led, where senior students worked to change the student culturedirectly.Introduction and BackgroundImproving diversity in STEM fields is an important goal and has been widely studied. It is well-known that students and professionals in STEM careers in the USA do not reflect the generalpopulation of the country [1]. For example, white men make up 31.6% of the general populationwhile they make up 51% of scientists and engineers. Black men make up 6% of the populationand 3% of the STEM workforce. The percentage of non-white and non-Asian people in the USAis 31.3% while the percentage of this sub-population working in STEM is just 12%. In

itspotential to get students to think metacognitively about their learning. In work related toreflection in engineering education, few have looked at creating validated surveys to evaluate thelearning outcomes of doing reflection. Other work in engineering education related to reflectionhas explored reflection, facilitated through portfolio construction, as a way to help studentsgrapple with engineer identity and “feel more like an engineer” without additional courses orexperiences [1]. But there is a push for the engineering education community to be rigorous aswe adopt the practice of creating validated instruments [2], [3].Additionally, reflection is also relevant to educational issues such as diversity in engineering andbringing broader

this is the case.This study takes place at a highly selective public research university in the Midwestern UnitedStates. As can be seen in Figure 1, the aerospace engineering department at this institution doesnot seem to have a significant retention problem. The common pathway also appears to be quitetraditional; the vast majority of the students enter the department with their cohort (not as transferstudents), initially declare aerospace engineering as their major within the engineering college,and successfully finish their aerospace engineering degrees. However, these results do not answerquestions about who is joining and who is succeeding in the aerospace engineering program.This study follows the authors’ previous investigation of

down by gender: while Black women comprise 6.3% of the generalpopulation, they made up only 1% of engineering degrees awarded in 2016 (7% and 2.3% forHispanic/Latina women).These numbers are a result of both lower initial recruitment into engineering and lower retentiononce in engineering programs. While on average nearly 59% of students who enterundergraduate engineering programs graduate with an engineering degree within 6 years, only45% of Hispanic/Latinx students and 36% of Black/African American students do so (ASEE,2017). Thus, while these students were interested in engineering when they entered college, thesocial/technical dualism may play a role in retention issues by engendering a feeling of split1 Our use of the word minoritized is

Culture accountsfor the meaning that people attach to their world and its experience [2], including the values andnorms that dictate their behavior and interactions [3]. Hence, in an academic setting, culturedefines the interactions among the different stakeholders, including the interaction betweenstudents and teachers, which is a significant component of the learning process. While culturaldimensions have been used to study cultural behavior in diverse fields to improve learning [4],there is a limited understanding in the literature about what role cultural differences play inengineering differences.
