Inaddition to three hour-long lectures each week, students in the course attend a weekly three-hourlaboratory session, where they work on a series of guided projects exploring topics they arelearning in lecture using components in a personal required lab kit. In past semesters, the finalproject of the course has been an open-ended design project where students are encouraged tocreate something using the concepts learned throughout the course. However, curricularlimitations as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have forced the final project to benarrower in scope compared to the past two semesters. In the Spring of 2021

read an article on “Dude Walls” in a trade magazine. “Dude Walls” areexemplified by a wall of pictures, in many departments, showing images of previous departmentheads, for example. Historically, these department heads are also commonly white men. Thisarticle discussed the walls, the negative imaging associated with them among students fromhistorically under-represent groups, and presented the approaches of several other universitiestoward addressing the issue. I forwarded this article to the CDO and noted several examples ofthe Dude Wall phenomenon across our campus. I was subsequently asked by the CDO to buildan Inclusive Physical Spaces committee and develop projects across campus to address these andsimilar issues. “Dude Walls” are an

University and commuter students represent a large portion of college enrollmentnationally [1]. Commuter students have differing constraints than residential students includingnonacademic commitments to work and family along with other time constraints for travel[2,3,4]. Commuter students thus face unique challenges that residential students do not face suchas developing social connections [5] which is connected to learning and persistence [6].Commuting negatively effects academic performance [7] and being able to integrate socially [8].The overarching research question for this S-STEM funded project is: How can a four-yearinstitution help increase the integration and success of engineering commuter students?

Other results showed an increased understanding ofengineering careers and courses required to study electric engineering in college. Before theirexperience in the project, very few of the young people had ever talked to university faculty oruniversity students about their areas of research or their journey into the fields of science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
