In this regard, focus group interviews will beutilized to facilitate collective reflection and dialogue by providing students opportunities toopenly discuss their learning experiences with fellow peers.Resultantly, Phase 3 of this long-term project involves developing communication channels withfaculty in the school of engineering who have underrepresented minorities conducting researchunder their supervision in order to assist each other in identifying and recruiting more students.REFERENCES[1] Russell, S.

theirprofession is also reviewed.History of SMET, STEM & STEAMIn 2001, the acronym formally known as SMET turned into STEM (Science, Engineering,Technology, and Mathematics)[2]. However, this grouping has been recognized in educationalreports since the 1980’s [2]. STEM had been developed by the National Science Foundation(NSF) to group together these disciplines based on the common use of critical thinking andproblem-solving skills [2, 3]. The disciplines that make up STEM are distinct but linked, withthose in engineering also studying physics, chemistry and other sciences and math being studiedin all disciplines [4]. Noticeably absent from this group is the arts, which is not recognized to bepart of STEM.In order to compare ET students to their

high need for assessment in change projects is often paired with a low prevalenceof formal assessment activity (Beach et al., 2016). To avoid this, a structured approach toassessment should be used from the very beginning, and conducted as an integral component ofthe entire project. During planning, assessment of “readiness for change” is critical (Reeves,2009; Lehman, Greener, and Simpson, 2002; Combe, 2014; Lynch & Smith, 2016). Movingthrough the project, assessment plans should be mindful of Banta et al.’s (1996) principle ofassessment stating that “Assessment requires attention to outcomes, but also and equally to theexperiences that lead to those outcomes”. To do this, Hall (2013) argues that direct assessment ofthe extent of
enhance the students’ understanding of microcontrollers andmicroprocessors, and (3) add one or two EET251 lab(s) with C programming experiences canhelp student better transition from PIC16F84A to ARM M4 which is covered in EET 418. With the help of this new curriculum and the common hardware platform, CPET studentsat PVAMU had the opportunity to practice embedded system hands-on experiments withoutundue stress in connecting basic peripheral interfacing circuits. The problem that we perceivedwas that it was difficult for students to write C program code for the ARM microcontrollerbecause of the complexity of ARM technology. It will be helpful to introduce simplemicrocontroller, such as PIC16FXXX, in both ASM and C coding in some previous
for example [40]–[43]). This line of research couldbenefit from the use of Faulkner’s and Kendi’s frameworks to investigate specific instances ofindividual and structural racism. To illustrate, we look to Murphy et al.’s assessment of GeorgiaTech’s summer bridge program, the Challenge Program, and its role in the higher likelihood ofgraduation for underrepresented minority students involved [42]. Georgia Tech is aPredominantly White Institution (PWI). Murphy et al. found that there was a significantrelationship between participation in the Challenge Program and increased retention/graduationrate [42]. Quantitatively, they recognized the need for summer bridge programs and theprogram’s importance in retention. What their study was not designed
