domestic and international addresses were expected. After orientation,postage was provided, and the letters were posted on the students’ behalf. The letter was formattedto allow for space for the student to handwrite a personalized message to the recipient. Both Englishand Spanish versions of the letter were available to the students. In addition, students were offeredstickers to include with the letter. The stickers consisted of an official and widely recognized logo ofthe university along with the word “family” in either English, Spanish, Chinese, or Korean. Asshort-term measures of this project, we collected data on the number of letters sent, the geographicdistribution of recipients, the rate of usage of the English vs Spanish versions of the

experiences expose students toaerospace research projects and help them build a supportive community of peers and mentors,which is critical for their persistence in graduate programs and/or careers. The impact of suchprograms extends beyond skill development, as they also play a crucial role in fostering self-efficacyand sense of belonging in the aerospace engineering community. This is particularly important giventhat URM students often face additional challenges, including imposter syndrome and a lack ofrepresentation among faculty and industry professionals [1]. Furthermore, the intersectionality ofmarginalization based on ethnicity and social class compounds the challenges faced by URMstudents, making it essential to consider multiple dimensions

material testing data using programming skills and AI techniques to rapidlyestimate and better learn how different properties of materials influence their strengths. IntroductionThe construction industry is undergoing a progressive shift toward data-driven decision-making,propelled by advances in technology and the increasing volume of information that can be collectedon jobsites (Hashim et al., 2024). From project scheduling to material selection and quality control,construction professionals are expected to leverage large datasets to optimize processes, reducecosts, and ensure safety (Rane, 2023). One crucial technological driver of this shift is artificialintelligence (AI), a field that enables

AbstractThis paper demonstrates the design and implementation of an innovative gamified softwareapplication for learning human-spoken languages. The game serves as an interactive and enjoyablesupplement to aid the learning process of different languages for elementary-aged children. At its core,the application uses a translation Application Programming Interface (API) to process text and outputtranslations in the target language chosen by the learner. Additionally, it is AI-enabled, allowing theutilization of APIs such as OpenAIs’s ChatGPT to enhance the translation capabilities. Provided is abasic proof of concept that was developed as part of the Final Pi Project in the Intermediate ComputerProgramming (COSC 1352) course. The gamified program was
