addition to ECE courses. Currently the ECE department hasapproximately 100 students distributed evenly across all four years of the curriculum.Approximately 60% of the students are in the EE program and 40% are in the CPE program. Thedepartment also offers a Masters degree in EE. PALACE, as a predominantly undergraduateinstitution, does not offer any Doctoral degrees. The lack of graduate students is a constraint onprogram development and new offerings since the work burden falls predominantly on thefaculty.The ECE Department itself is composed of ten tenure track faculty with two support staff; oneoffice staff member and one lab staff member. Of the ten faculty, seven have backgrounds in EEand three have backgrounds in CPE; there was some faculty

force totalmastery but to also separate components of a statistical problem into individual areas that couldbe mastered in pieces towards a goal of overall mastery. We perceived some level ofdiscretization between the pieces that enabled a greater focus on what was and was not incorrect.For the rubric, we divided each statistical problem into three stages - setup, calculation, andinterpretation. The rubric appears in Table 1. Our perception was that these three stages couldeach be performed correctly or incorrectly. An initial test involved treating each stageindependently. We quickly revised that approach after finding students would skip the setupsection and perform arbitrary statistical calculations in an attempt to earn points. This

Of the six female participantsmaking up 43 percent of the sample, two-thirds were BIPOC, and 50% were members of anunder-represented minority group.3.4 Data GatheringFocus groups were conducted by two Masters’ students in non-STEM programs at SeattleUniversity. One student was a female-identifying student of color, and the other was a male-identifying white student. Both students were closer in age to participants, allowing for a morecomfortable environment for discussion.Interviews and focus groups were analyzed using thematic analysis [27] [35] [36] [37] in order tobetter understand participants’ experience in the program.

She statedthe following: [In Kenya] they expect that you master everything that you see and you can remember. Versus here [in the U.S.], I think it’s, like, can you, like, not memorize, but can you just understand this concept, get tested at it, and then, you know, you’re not going to need to apply it in your later courses, or it’s integrated, but it’s never really, you know, tested again.As with Titan, Maria’s remarks also underscored the importance of international examinations inher home country
