Introduction The use of online and digital learning platforms has become increasingly prevalent in highereducation to increase access and flexibility for students [2]. This has led to the development of new toolsand technologies, such as AI-powered chatbots and virtual reality simulations, which can be used toenhance teaching and learning in a number of ways, including by providing personalized learningmaterials, interactive exercises and assessments, and instant feedback and

Nonbinary and transgender students in STEMare also 7% more likely to transfer to non-STEM departments than their cisgender peers[2]. While an estimated 19.5% of electrical engineering bachelor’s awardees in the UnitedStates in 2021 are of historically underrepresented or marginalized genders—cisgenderwomen, nonbinary and transgender people, a

tabular information from image samplesfrom engineering disciplines.Introduction © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 2023 ASEE Illinois-Indiana Section Conference Proceedings Engineering content consists of a wide variety of forms - including but not limited to -prose, images and figures, equations, charts and visualizations, programming code, and tabularinformation. A challenge of the inclusive education approach is to provide accommodations forstudents with disabilities and use technology to unlock access to these information-rich items.Unfortunately, textual information is frequently embedded in images or video, which isinaccessible to students who are blind or have low vision.

First-year retention of students in connected classes washigher in each cohort in comparison to students without connected classes.IntroductionResidential learning communities are a high impact practice with a positive effect on educationaloutcomes (e.g. Dahl et al, 2020). The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School ofEngineering maintains a freshman residential community (referred to as a focused interestcommunity or FIC) for engineering and technology within one of its freshman residence halls,which is across the street from the building that houses the School.

UniversityAbstractThis paper describes activities and preliminary findings from a five-year, NSF-sponsored project(Award #1565066) at Purdue University Fort Wayne to increase the number of students whocomplete engineering, engineering technology, and computer science degrees. Purdue UniversityFort Wayne is a metropolitan, non-selective, public institution with a high percentage of under-prepared, first-generation, low-income, commuter students, many of whom work. The objectivesof this project are to (a) increase graduation rates of the STEM cohorts; (b) build the foundationfor a sustainable institutional structure and support STEM scholars and other students; (c) carryout research designed to advance understanding of the factors, practices, and curricular and

class declarations are not fully accessible to be edited. Passing informationbetween buttons and back-end operations becomes extremely challenging. In addition,a professional license for MATLAB compiler is needed. Without this license, one canonly share the project file, not export it as a standalone application. The drawback ofcoding capabilities in the app developer, along with the compiler is not fully available. Itdecreases the availability of the plugin to students and consumers. Therefore, a popularcross-platform game engine by Unity Technologies is evaluated. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 2023 ASEE Illinois-Indiana Section Conference Proceedings Figure 3
