Weekly homework problems were required to be completed using MathCAD. 5. All projects and exams were required to be completed using MathCAD.To assess the effect of MathCAD on students' learning experience, a survey was distributed to 25students enrolled in the course. A total of 20 students completed the survey. The survey includedboth quantitative and qualitative questions, focusing on various aspects of student learning, suchas time saved, ease of use, and improvements in conceptual understanding.

Minorities in Engineering Division(MIND)

identitiesIntroductionIntroductionDespite the steady increase of minoritized populations in the United States in the past few years[1], the field of engineering continues to struggle with a lack of diversity among bothpractitioners and students [2, 3]. This homogeneity has resulted in significantunderrepresentation in thought and epistemology within engineering practice [4].Because engineering has traditionally prioritized problem-solving, without critical awareness ofits possible consequences, engineering solutions often continue to fail to adequately meet theneeds of underrepresented populations and create projects that disproportionately and negativelyimpact marginalized communities [5-7]. For example, the design of pulse oximeters has notworked as well in people with darker

In my observation, theclass families approach helped the students manage their academic stress better and provided areliable support system, ultimately contributing to student retention and academic success. Thepaper also includes the results of a student survey on their perceptions of the class familiesapproach. It further discusses some of the challenges associated with this approach.

This consistency allowed for uniform grading and facilitated astraightforward comparison between sections implementing the modified structure and thosefollowing the original format.A secondary goal was to minimize the additional workload for instructors adopting the revisedcourse structure.
