the quality ofteaching from an instructor. These evaluations are often used for consideration of tenure,compensation, employment decisions, and teaching awards, among other career milestones.However, a variety of literature indicates that student evaluations of teaching may not be anaccurate indication of teaching effectiveness [1], [2]. In particular, student biases about factorssuch as gender, race, and age can all affect their evaluations [3]–[5]. In this Work-in-progressarticle, we introduce a backwards design approach to re-evaluate the use and goals of courseevaluations from multiple stakeholders including faculty, administrators, and students. Thesegoals are then used to redefine the types of questions needed in course evaluation

engineering students who participate in sponsored programs. According to Ortega-Alvarez et al. [1], three common challenges that most early-career engineering faculty face arebalancing the demands of research, teaching, and other professional obligations; lack of time tocope with personal and professional responsibilities; and setting realistic goals and expectationsfor individual accomplishments. The difficulties can be more pronounced for internationalstudents, especially those who return to their home countries. Khanal and Gaulee [2] describethis readjustment as reverse culture shock. Arthur [3] recognizes that international students oftenneed coping strategies to manage the re-entry transition after their academic studies arecompleted. She

Many critiques are based on outdated stereotypes: a 2016 surveyrevealed that 40% of parents did not see manufacturing as a good-paying employment choice fortheir children; 50% did not see manufacturing as an exciting, challenging, or engaging career [1].Even more troubling is the underrepresentation of women and minorities in manufacturing.

For example, engineering is a career for men, or women are not good at maths.This leads to discrimination and gender inequalities that bear a direct toll on society.In recent years, gender equality has become increasingly important on the world agenda. TheUN, within its 17 Sustainable Development Goals includes one which is exclusive dedicatedto gender equality (Goal 5).

Literature ReviewEngineering has persistently been composed of predominantly white men [4]. As a result, whitemen define a masculine culture of engineering [1], [2], [5]–[12]. The culture is oftenunwelcoming and creates issues for Black and Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) such asnepotism, cultural mismatch, perceptions of under-qualification, lack of peers, lack of overallworkplace diversity and lack of support for minoritized people [13]–[16]. Throughoutundergraduate education, many engineering students are introduced to these workplace culturesvia internships. Internships are important because they strongly influence career decisions andopportunities [17].Internships and cooperative education programs are valuable for engineering students [18

Given the shift in demandfor these skills in engineering, educators must assess the learning outcomes of current curriculaand the selection of programming language utilized to develop students’ foundational knowledgeof programming in order to prepare students for their future careers. One way to approach thiscourse content decision is to teach based on industry needs. The purpose of this study was toidentify the programming languages desired by
