concepts and items introduced.  All SURI mentors presented their research plan on the first day of the summer research.  Students either singly or in groups researched their problems. As shown in Table 3, we had 5 teams and 4 individual researchers. In fact, except groups 6, 8, and 9, other individual researchers are just changed the data. Groups 3, 4, and 5 essentially applied deep learning to their own data on air quality, safety, and traffic parameters.  Each week, the students were introduced to new machine learning topics, participated in update meetings, and a Friday journal meeting with all SURI participants to present their progress and see the other teams’ progress.  Students

% improvement over the control group.Paired-t test results of CURE surveys from SV and all other students are shown in Table 2. Fromthe table, p-values for post graduate plans and post-attitude about science results were fail to rejectthe null of same mean values. Other test results are all higher than the compared CURE surveysconducted in other programs nationally (Lopatto, 2004, Lopatto, 2010). Overall, our program’ssurvey results are at least met that of mean value of surveys conducted in other programs. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2021 2021 ASEE Illinois-Indiana Section Conference Proceedings | Paper ID 35163 0.7

computer-aided design/drafting software.A brief description of each week of the class is presented below:Week 1: Introduction to the course and surfaces and solids of revolution. Students answer multiple choicequestions where they identify 3D objects created by revolving a given 2D shape.Week 2: Isometric drawings and coded plans. Students answer various multiple-choice questions withcoded plans and begin using the computer-based sketching tool. They are asked to sketch objects on anisometric grid from a given coded plan. © American Society of Engineering Education, 2021 2021 ASEE Illinois-Indiana Section Conference Proceedings | Paper ID 35175Week 3: Orthographic drawing.

captioning infrastructure, e.g.,Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART). The Azure transcription service alsosupports trained audio models and domain words which improve accuracy. We plan to exploreand evaluate these features in the future.Criteria 4. Able to adapt the caption presentation to different visual contexts.The development team designed four features to allow the ScribeAR platform to be adaptable toa wide array of visual contexts. These are discussed below.Firstly, the ability to switch the theme from dark (Figure 2a) to light (Figure 5). Different themeswere better suited to different live scenarios. For instance, when the dark theme was paired withan AR display, all black-colored areas became transparent as the Epson AR glasses
