. ● Principle 3 promotes varying activities that increase interest and self-regulation. For example, integrating weekly reflective writing prompts.Studies suggest that incorporating these principles into course design increases learning andengagement for all students [5, 6]. Despite these wide-ranging benefits, research about implementing UDL in science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields primarily focuses on accessibility,including the use of technology accommodations, due to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)and Web Content Accessibility (WCAG) requirements for online learning environments [7].From the ASEE archive, one paper authored by Monemi, Pan, & Varnado (2009) suggested theuse of UDL for course design

Rather, thecanons of these codes more often reflect traditional “universal” moral principles. Since despitetheir limitations, the codes of ethics are important aspirational and normative value statementsfor the profession—and are frequently used to teach engineering ethics—this paper proposes thatthe codes should include canons that reflect the ethic of care.

To offset this possibility, the researchteam should consult with people who are familiar with the language and culture of the researchparticipants and ask them to evaluate data generation protocols as well as early collected data. Insummary, researchers can enact several validation procedures to increase the likelihood that theirdata generation methods are culturally responsive and result in a fit between a social reality andthe research report, rather than a deficit view.

Such perception of the faculty prevented minority students from asking questions inclass or approaching the faculty for help.” (p. 131)Additionally, Redmond’s [8] case study – in which they re-structured Stanford’s computerscience department to become more inclusive – found that one of the largest impacts on a womanmaintaining interest in computer science is how early she took her introductory computingcoursework. Thus, if women and minorities are mandated to take these introductory coursesearlier in their undergraduate curriculum, retention rates would likely increase. This sentimentwas reflected

Results from that summer workshop indicate a range of approaches fornew engineering pathways for pre-service teacher preparation will be required to reflect theparticular culture of the universities. Potential approaches identified include:• The use of a minor in STEM education to complement an existing engineering degree, this reflects additions to existing undergraduate engineering degrees• Post-Baccalaureate degree programs –this minimizes impact to undergraduate engineering degrees• Working with educational technology programs –they tend to have greater flexibility

AbstractBroadly stated, accountability for a regional university is value created versus cost.Value reflects social and economic needs of the community, state, and region. Cost ofcreating value is cost of implementation strategies to achieve institutional goals. The state’shigher education coordinating board, a university board, and faculty senate are proxiesfor engaging community, state, and regional stakeholders in institutional accountability.Complex endogenous and exogenous challenges require an effective means for allocatingresources within the organization, monitoring effectiveness of institutional strategies, and, asnecessary, adapting strategies to ensure institutional accountability.This paper examines these issues and recommends an
