Diversity, Equity, andInclusion (DEI) has long been an important part of personal, professional, and curriculardevelopment for university faculty, yet students continue to voice a desire for improvedengagement with concepts of race, racism, bias, cultural awareness and social justice

However, as students transition to undergraduate programs, there isoften a lack of continuity in the teaching methods used, leading to challenges inunderstanding and applying the lessons taught, aside from continuing in the discipline.Therefore, there is a need to seek out a teaching methodology that can stimulate themotivation of learners and further learners’ zeal in the chosen field.Experiment-centric pedagogy (ECP) is a hands-on learner-centered teaching technique thatemploys inexpensive, portable instruments
