It’s like we have to make sure women are humbled…You go to the end, you work hard on this project, it’s great, great, great, and someone craps on it. Even if you don’t want to take that to heart, it still hurts, it’s still there.” – JenniferThere was a general sense that older white male design professionals, who were often invited asguest review panelists, did not facilitate a culture that was positive toward women and studentsof color. However, professors held these design professionals in high regard and continued toplatform them as examples that students should look up to.6. DiscussionGrant et al.

Approximately 2000 first- and second-year engineering students enrolled in the“Engineering Problem Solving” course across Fall 2022, Summer 2023, and Fall 2023 completedthe study. Students completed four SIMnet-based Excel modules that were aligned with chaptersfrom Microsoft Excel 365: Complete in Practice [8]. Each module included interactive readingcontent, downloadable assignments, and simulation-based quizzes. These quizzes wereembedded directly within the SIMnet platform and used a simulated Excel interface to assessstudents’ ability to perform spreadsheet tasks in a controlled environment.

Of those, threesections were assigned to the class project using the video analysis method (Fall 2023) with atotal enrollment of 69 students. The other three sections were assigned the motion capture lab-based project (Spring 2024, Fall 2024) and had a total enrollment of 61 students. In both cases,the description of the project requirements was the same except for the method of data capture(motion capture lab or video).

In France, women represented 23% of the engineering studentpopulation, compared to 63% in social sciences and law [5]. Similar underrepresentation wasobserved in the United States and Malaysia in 2019 with engineering being viewed as incompatiblewith women’s identities (personal and professional), and incompatible between family life andwork [6]. This underrepresentation of women was further verified within specific engineeringmajors. A survey conducted on 974 students in Atlanta, United States, revealed that Industrial andChemical Engineering had the highest female enrollment [7].

This section examines current and emerging methodsof assessing AI literacy skills and perceptions. Although discussions of AI literacy have taken ona new sense of urgency in many disciplines since the release of Chat GPT in November 2022, in2021 Ng et al.

pedagogical strategies, curriculum, andassessment adaptations, for example, by leveraging and including cultural diversity and genderdiversity in the classroom (Forbes et al., 2024; Rambo-Hernandez et al., 2019; Yunus, NurulAzhani et al., 2023). Supportive environments can also be created by catering to diverse learningpreferences and cultures (Notaroš et al., 2019; Rice & Mays, 2022). Other approaches includeimplementing more inclusive strategies, such as active learning (Galvis et al., 2019; Theobald etal., 2020). Advocates promote equitable STEM education for diverse demographics, including race,gender, socioeconomics, and disabilities (Holmes et al., 2023).
