promote a free and open forum forfocused discussion and thoughtful debate regarding editorial decisions.The Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission (ETAC) of ABET establishes generalcriteria for student outcomes associated with program accreditation [3]. The curriculum ofETAC programs must include “topics related to professional responsibilities, ethicalresponsibilities, respect for diversity, and quality and continuous improvement.” These curricularcomponents are further clarified with the ABET Policy on Diversity [4]. This statementencourages a commitment to “diversity and inclusion through developing and using the talents ofall persons.” With these guidelines in mind, engineering technology educators are encouraged topromote student
. • Experimental Physics and Engineering Lab III : Electricity and Magnetism - The final course is designed to complement a lecture-only physics course on electromagnetism and electromechanical systems and includes laboratory assignments that uses sensing, control and actuation to demonstrate electromagnetic concepts as well as an introduction to microcontrollers. Also included is a continuation of non-technical topics such as ethics and art-in-engineering. These three courses were purposefully designed with several goals in mind includingteaching students critical think skills through the use of programming, supporting students asthey learn highly theoretical concepts in their physics courses, introducing students to

mitigation plans. Safety training is also an integral part of creating a culturethat has safety in mind, first and foremost.Recently, universities have started to place emphasis on safety and incorporate relevant coursesin their degree plans. At the University of Houston-Downtown (UHD), students from the safetymanagement program have the opportunity to work alongside engineering technology studentsduring the design and implementation stages of a senior capstone project. Safety managementstudents benefit from this interaction by getting an opportunity to apply their knowledge andskills to a project that attempts to mimic a “real” life process. Similarly, engineering technologystudents become aware of methods to assess risks and procedures that must

progresses. This places those studentsat a disadvantage relative to their peers, as they have difficulty understanding and masteringadvanced topics. The knowledge gap also often results in the repetition of topics and prolongedlab sessions, as well as more serious issues such as the mishandling of equipment.STEM instruction typically is based on verbal, deductive, reflective, and sequential learningmethods. However, studies show that students in science and engineering programs tend to dowell with visual, inductive, active, and global learning methods. With this information in mind,we developed custom pre-lab videos to address the knowledge gap. The pre-lab videosdemonstrate basic usage and implementation of laboratory equipment, software tools
