By knowing that, we could perform modifications and improvementsat the beginning of the course to adjust our initial planning for the reality of the course andstudent needs. During the workshop, we planned the following goals: (a) getting familiar with localfacilitators, managers, and infrastructure; (b) introducing the main ideas and motivating students;(c) establishing a face-to-face connection with all students; (d) providing technical training aboutelectronic tools used in the technology; and (e) establishing guidelines and internal policies withstudents to be followed throughout the course.

For example, several studies have looked at theeffects of a non-inclusive culture in engineering and how to make students, especially those fromunderrepresented groups, more resilient in this “chilly” environment 1-3. Additionally, researchsuggests that the degree to which the individual’s personality aligns with the dominant values ofthe environment they are in, such as an engineering program, the higher their likelihood forsatisfaction and success in that environment4. Some recent studies have begun to look at the engineering culture itself to see if, insteadof programs to help make students more resilient, there might be ways to
