details.” “They make the lectures more engaging and supplement my learning.”Research has revealed that many students struggle with learning certain concepts due to thetraditional approaches to teaching utilized by engineering faculty. As indicated by the data above,incorporating visual supplements help to reduce confusion, while making the material moreengaging and interesting to the students.Accommodating Learning NeedsOne final and important theme that emerged from the study is that the visual supplements servedto accommodate student learning needs. Research has indicated that all students learn and makesense of material differently and that it is vital for educators to be mindful of the diversity oflearners in their classroom

(Brilliant Minds) was designed to provide earlyengineering and mathematics career awareness and skill development for middle school students ina small Saturday program in partnership with a community organization in Honduras. The programwas delivered as a four- week Saturday program with the support of local education aides usingEnglish/Spanish bilingual, hands-on curricular materials and special virtual sessions involvingLatina/o professionals from various STEM fields with a special focus on engineering andmathematics careers.The program was designed to support the learning needs of 7th-9th grade students as a series of fourafter-school/Saturdays in Honduras at a faith-based community center. Given that the program wasdesigned in the U.S. but

way.” They were then presented with the knowledge of how a linear electromagnetic pulse, orwave traversing parallel to the axis can also produce rotational motion, but they scoffed at theidea, they said it is simply impossible, not very realistic, and instantly dismissed thatpreposterous idea out of their minds. Just imagine the thought! A Spiral Helix Motor usessimple fundamental physics to do exactly that, it achieves rotation by using a linearelectromagnetic pulse traversing parallel to the axis while interacting with a spiral helixmagnetic array construct on the driveshaft. It is revolutionary concept for electrical engineering,but it uses simple, pure, fundamental physics that is easy to understand. All that is different, isthat the

that students have to manage their time amongst amultitude of necessary commitments simply to survive while being students. ExtracurricularDesign-Based Learning (Gerber et al., 2012) is a proven way to engage students and aligns withTinto (1993)’s theory of student departure by engaging students to bring them closer tograduation. The project developed and operated by the authors of this work intentionally designeda flexible commitment system into the project participation to be mindful of the strugglesmembers would face as engineering students. The decision to offset any lost wages byparticipating in a monetarily compensated capacity resulted in a committed core group of studentsover a full academic year. Among those students interviewed for
