Gillet et al [7] look at ways of making web-based remote lab systemsmore robust.Several studies compare different lab formats. Corter et al. [8] present the results of a large-scalestudy comparing learning outcomes and student preferences for different lab formats, includingtraditional hands-on labs, remotely operated labs, and simulations. Similar to [1], students notedthe advantages of technology-enabled labs are they are convenient and reliable but preferredhands-on labs. The authors also noted that differences in lab formats led to
university, and one that is admittedly privileged inmany respects. For example, the respondents indicated few if any issues of economic insecurityor technology access. Nor were the respondents likely to be academically precarious. Thestringent standards for continued enrollment in the engineering program might have put somestudents at risk for being asked to leave the program, but even in those cases, the student wouldtypically not be close to flunking out of college. These conditions of privilege are likely to havehad a significant effect on how these students chose to spend their time, as evinced by emergingstudies of the disproportionate effects of quarantine and other COVID-related conditions onwomen, adult students, LGBTQA+ students, and

of bias,increase a sense of agency, and ultimately empower students.1. IntroductionGiven clear evidence of disparities in educational attainment, much importance has been placedon increasing use of inclusive teaching to help close this so-called achievement gap [1]–[4]. Inscience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines, deliberate inclusive practicemay reduce the “leaving” phenomenon where those underrepresented amongst STEM majorssuch as women and minoritized racial groups would otherwise fail to complete their STEMdegree program [5]–[7]. For example, active learning has been shown to improve learning gainsand reduce failure rates especially among underrepresented minority (URM) students [2].Similarly, current recommendations

Questions focused onopinions about remote learning, access to technology, communication with others, and thetransitioning of cohort activities to the virtual environment. It was also decided in Spring 2020 tosurvey faculty teaching in STEM departments. Faculty survey questions focused on theexperiences of faculty as they transitioned and taught STEM courses in an online format. For thepurposes of this survey, a STEM course was defined as being in the field of mathematics, naturalsciences, engineering, computer and information sciences, or social and behavioral

Women in certain STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields are still underrepresented, andhence we also describe the changes taken place to include the participation by women. Inparticular we describe the changes taken place in the Mathematics Department at UTA, theupdate on deliberate efforts started in the fall semester of 2005 and how three
