multiple sub-groups since a student has multiple identities based on these sub-group definitions. The class consisted of: 12 first-generation and 28 continuing-generationcollege students, 11 students from historically marginalized populations in STEM (women andpeople of color) and 29 from historically privileged populations in STEM, 3 female identifyingand 37 male identifying students.Communication skills were broken down into several sub-skills and had explicit instruction andactivities around strengthening those sub-skills. The students assessed their self-efficacy aroundthese communication skills at the beginning and end of the seminar though a Likert scale surveyon the following statements: 1. I am able to build my social capital

technology to fully develop the idea.There is often exists a dialogue between the mind and the other senses during the process ofcreating something tangible.A summary of these stages of creative expression can be reduced to: 1. Imagination of creator 2. Technology to implement creation 3. Physiology of viewerFor painting: 1. Creator’s Imagination 2. Paint 3. Observer’s VisionFor music: 1. Creator’s Imagination 2. Musical Performance 3. Listener’s HearingCommonly, feedback is required between the creator and the technology, such as the composerand the keyboard. This can have higher levels of complexity, such as a musician workingthrough a music producer and musicians for a particular venue. The same is true in the fine arts,where

describes someone with a deep andaccessible subject knowledge of their field [6] but who may struggle to apply their expertisemore broadly and in different contexts. A seminal work describing these differences between AEand routine expertise was provided by [5] in which two expert historians were studied and thecharacteristics of adaptive expertise identified.Based on a contemporary literature review, four characteristics of an adaptive expert wereidentified by Fisher and Peterson in 2001 [7]. These four identified constructs of adaptivenesswere used to develop a framework for the assessment of AE: (1) multiple perspectives, (2)metacognition, (3) goals and beliefs, and (4) epistemology. An important distinction here is thatthe authors of this

students within STEMfields. Upon participating, students are challenged to develop business ideas, think creatively,work collaboratively, and adhere to tight deadlines. They may experience increased confidence,a greater awareness of diversity, and an increased entrepreneurial spirit resulting from theseprograms. Due to the flexible nature of many design challenge ideas, students are also given theopportunity to expand their cultural knowledge to address global issues. McKenzie [1] proposesthat participating in these programs has been linked to higher success rates, higher employment,higher profits and sales, and greater firm entry. Kwong et al. [2] note that they may also discoverneeds in their own community that they might be inspired to address

to a wide range of applications, andprovide details about the Simulink and ETAP exercises, including schematic diagrams.IntroductionSoftware simulation has become an integral component of a comprehensive learning experiencein engineering and technology programs. Popular software packages include PSpice, LabVIEW,MATLAB/Simulink, and Multisim, [1-6]. This paper describes the use of software packages fordeveloping several laboratory exercises that reinforce learning in a power systems analysiscourse. The course covers a range of topics including three phase power, transformers,transmission lines, power flows, faults, and system protection.The main purpose of the exercises was to supplement the classroom lectures with laboratorymaterials that
