University Dr. Marjorie Shavers is an assistant professor and the Director of Graduate Studies in Counseling at Hei- delberg University. She has a Ph.D. in Counselor Education from Ohio State University and is currently licensed as a professional school and professional clinical counselor with supervision designation. Dr. Shavers’s research agenda focuses on exploring how educational systems and professionals impact the experiences and overall mental health of students, particularly Black women. Dr. Shavers’s most recent work focuses particularly on the experiences of Black women pursuing doctorates and post–doctorates in computer science and engineering. In addition to her research, her teaching and clinical practice is

Suchmath-intensive courses would benefit greatly by incorporating many of the widely availablemodel-based simulation tools (e.g., Matlab's Simulink) that can be used to simulate continuous-time and discrete-time systems. Therefore, the use of simulation tools for reflection is notlimited to the case study presented in this paper. Rather, this method can be used in other ECEcourses as well as in other engineering disciplines that rely on simulation.ReferencesAdams, R., Turns, J., & Atman, C. (2003).
