Despite challenges posed by COVID-19 that led to two no-cost extensions, every cohort in the program traveled to Korea and was ableto have an immersive experience. The participants were diverse in ethnicity (3 African Americans,1 Native American, and 4 Hispanics) and gender (7 female students).

significantly impactsvarious aspects of society, including lifestyle, communication, and education [2]. Artificialintelligence (AI) holds a pivotal role in the education sector. It facilitates access to abundantinformation resources, like online learning and virtual laboratories, expanding students' learningopportunities. Furthermore, technological advancements have led to innovative teaching tools suchas multimedia courseware and intelligent teaching systems, improving classroom management,and fostering student engagement. Simultaneously, progress in technology has introduced morethorough and objective assessment methods, including data analysis and intelligent evaluation.These methods aid teachers in providing prompt guidance to students and

A lack ofemphasis on selecting PIs who are well-equipped to lead supportive and diverse laboratories cou-pled with a lack of diversity in the researcher and PI populations frequently leads to an unhealthywork environment that Black PhD students have the burden of navigating throughout their entiredoctoral program. We hope that sharing our experiences will serve as a reference point in the refor-mation of the graduate engineering education system. By challenging biases and fostering a moreinclusive academic space, we aim to see an improvement in the graduation rates of Black doctoralcandidates.Introduction Academic spaces are experiencing an influx of diverse students feeling empowered to pur-sue higher

In order to make these meetings more dynamicand participative, the remote instructor uses CIT resources such as Menti – an interactive platform thatfacilitates the interaction of the students with the remote instructor using students' cellular phones. Inremote locations, the internet bandwidth is limited. Using only ONE computer to implement thesynchronous meeting (instead of each student connected to the videoconference) improvescommunication with the class, and the students' interactions via cell phones have no impact on thebandwidth. The remote instructor has access to the minimum CIT resources at the location where theinstructor lives (cameras, microphones, tablet, board, laboratory equipment, and others) to
% Lab 20%In our mastery-based course, a student earned a C- (the grade required for pre-requisite courseslike ours) after mastering all the Fundamental skills (Table 2). Beyond this, any Important skillthat a student passes increased their grade by 1/3 of a letter, a pattern that continued with masteryof the Additional skills. Even though students who only passed the Fundamental skills may notget as much practice with the Important and Additional skills, they were still exposed to theseskills during in-class instruction and through homework and laboratory exercises. By achievingmastery on the Fundamental skills, students will have a full understanding of these topics thatthey can apply to future engineering

, research laboratories, or societies [3]. Anational survey conducted in 2005 revealed that engineering programs are emphasizing theimportance of teamwork in capstone projects, and therefore are shifting away from projects thatare completed by an individual student towards team-based projects [3]. This study also revealedthat typically a capstone team is comprised of four to six team members completing the projectas a one or two semester capstone course [3]. One challenge with a design-build project is that itcan be difficult to develop a project that a small team can complete in a short time frame of oneyear or less [4]. Additionally, it is important that the project selected is viewed as worthwhile byboth the students and the faculty for it to be

calculations make EA morecredible than other, “softer” forms of moral reasoning, which might be tainted by emotion, bias,or other subjective sources of error. This case for EA is made most assertively by thepsychologist Paul Bloom: Empathy is biased; we are more prone to feel empathy for attractive people and for those who look like us or share our ethnic or national background. And empathy is narrow; it connects us to particular individuals, real or imagined, but is insensitive to numerical differences and statistical data… Laboratory studies find that we really do care more about the one than about the mass, so long as we have personal information about the one. In light of these features, our public decisions
