lectures. Despite the increasing availability ofresources and research studies reporting its benefits, active learning has been slowly embraced incore engineering courses. One principal reason is the difficulty of enacting these active learningprinciples. Because these are skills gained and refined while performing them, without practice,many engineering graduate students do not have the opportunity to acquire them. Further,graduate students are also often deprived of the lessons, experiences, and other productiveoutcomes gained through teaching.In this paper, we shared our experiences, reflections, and growth as apprentice faculty at two USR1 institutions. In Fall 2022, we had the opportunity to teach an introductory, core chemicalengineering

We are thefirst to admit that we could have done more in both arenas. For example, we didn’t budget forprofessional captioning or a sign language interpreter in case these were needed by ourparticipants. We did use an auto captioning service, but we know that those are flawed. Anotherarea where we could have planned to dedicate more resources was to communications. Weseverely underestimated the effort that it took to reach out to the different communities that wewanted to invite, especially since we were not insiders in those fields.

People play computer games because games are fun[6].The authors believe that the capstone design course should not be the only opportunity forstudents to manage complex software development projects. This suggests the use of othercourses in the curriculum such as a game design course as a means of providing additionalsoftware engineering experiences. This paper describes the authors’ experiences revising andemploying active learning materials to teach software engineering content in a sequence of twogame design courses offered in both face-to-face and asynchronous online modalities during

Theschool system integration provides a consistent platform for the GOAL programming whichensures longevity of the program and its ability to reach intended audiences. Post launch, therehas been interest from other school systems to utilize GOAL, but logistics of implementation(e.g., disconnection between administrators and in-classroom implementers) creates a lot ofinertia toward getting relationships started. This factor has kept collaborations from expanding tothe scale of PGCPS or MCPS. While the COVID pandemic created a lot of chaos, it alsoprovided a unique opportunity where action was necessary.

Mostredesign efforts to address this issue typically focus on single, or multiple but disjointed gatewaycourses [4].

It means that each discipline that composes STEMeducation has their-self evolution as an individual discipline too. As a result of thesedevelopments, there has been significant research to explore how engineering education mightsupport learning outcomes, including concept mastery in a social context [18], literacy [15], andlong-term engagement [15]. While these efforts are critical, far less attention has been placed ondesigning learning experiences that support diversity and inclusion.

Oftentimes, the development of core knowledge, such as science and mathematics,comes first in an engineering program.

One option is toconduct a course in a computer lab, though in the author’s experience sufficient numbers ofstudents bring laptops or tablets to class that working in a lab isn’t necessary if students team upfor activities. Students can also use their phones by launching the live scripts in the MATLABMobile environment.When integrating the virtual activities into class time, it is important to structure the class so thatthe activities help the students achieve the desired outcomes. For example, the author has foundit helpful to provide the students a very direct question that they can try to answer as a result ofthe activity, rather than asking something

These artifacts are then integrated into mathematical problem-solvingsituations that connect that knowledge to the teaching of mathematics concepts. The authorsbelieve the power of these cases resides in the long-term collaborative work between insiders andoutsiders, resulting in an effective culturally-based curriculum. These studies demonstrate thatMCC’s math curriculum makes a difference in the math performance of AI/AN students and thedata shows that consistent instruction using math instruction with cultural contexts can alsopotentially close academic performance gaps.Acknowledge the Indigenous WorldviewOur conception of the world- our worldview- is

In another study of LApartnerships, similar types of partnerships were identified: (a) students, (b) informants, (c)consultants, (d) co-instructors, and (e) co-creators [11]. The type of partnership that wasexperienced by students was found to be mediated within the discourse, meaning that these rolesthat an LA may take up were fluid and dependent on the context. Partnerships between facultyand students in spaces such as teaching and curriculum design are difficult to be completely openfor students to take the lead.In the NF team, we see something different from
