Historically, the field of engineering hasreflected the broader societal trends with regard to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)—oftenmirroring the exclusions and disparities prevalent in the social fabric of the times [1]. For muchof its history, engineering has been a profession dominated by a homogenous group, with limitedrepresentation of women, minorities, and other underrepresented groups [2]-[10]. Thisuniformity has, at times, inadvertently influenced the direction of research priorities, the designof systems, and the implementation of technologies, potentially overlooking the needs andperspectives of a diverse population.In recent years, however, there has been

and highly theoretical concepts. Theseconcepts, such as fugacity, can lend themselves to be difficult for not just students but alsoinstructors to conceptualize and explain1. This is due to the fact that many STEM (science,technology, engineering, and mathematics) concepts are not overtly or obviously visual or easy tomodel via experimentation, demonstrations, or traditional hands-on tools. Therefore, visualinstruction is key for all learners, not just those who have a proclivity for more visual modes ofinstruction. Studies have shown that a combination of images and text2,3 has improved students’retention of the information. Thus, an educational tool that incorporates visual elements is atechnique that can be used by instructors, especially
