To address this, we introduced tasks in mini-projects wherestudents could begin exploring numerical methods, such as learning and solving differentialequations in an engineering application context. We made sure to provide sufficient guidance andsimplified the code implementation process in these tasks. We informed students that numericalmethods are covered in subsequent courses.

Finally, the ideology ofmeritocracy perpetuates the notion that success in engineering is determined solely by individualability, ignoring systemic inequities that shape access to resources and opportunities.
