[72], represents a notable technological advancement ineducation. These systems enable real-time electronic feedback from students, facilitating theidentification of conceptual misunderstandings. Through analyzing 781 responses across variousinstitutions, the study highlights the effectiveness of challenging and theoretically focusedquestions in stimulating classroom discussion. Those questions, which prioritize interpretationover calculation, prove instrumental in enhancing student engagement and understanding,offering a valuable approach to teaching linear algebra to engineering

apparent that many of the existing biases in AIreflect a similar disparity in training data. While the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering,and Mathematics) field has seen an increase in diversity in the past decade, it still retains largegaps in representation, with URM individuals accounting for 26% of science and engineeringbachelor’s degrees in 2020, and individuals that identify as female remaining underrepresentedin a variety of STEM majors [4]. These disparities largely originate in pre-college learning, withmany URM students not being guided to STEM focused pathways [5]. To combat this, URMstudents must be encouraged to follow these pathways, provided with more impactful learningopportunities, and given access to necessary tools and

. IntroductionNative Americans are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).Despite comprising nearly 2.9% of the population (United States Census, 2020), they represent only0.25% of all engineering bachelor's degree recipients, 0.3% of the U.S. engineering workforce, and 0.07%of all engineering faculty [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Various barriers may contribute to this underrepresentation,including limited access to quality STEM education, lack of role models, and socioeconomic challenges[6, 7, 8].NTU engineering faculty have also observed that students from local school districts entering engineeringprograms are often ill-equipped for engineering education. Engineering requires deep learning supportedby critical thinking and self
