society, servingas a conduit for innovation and societal transformation. 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

Attempts before correct provided a valuablemetric to distinguish between problem types with numeric problems taking more attempts thanmultiple choice. Finally, a metric combining both correct and attempts, called the deliberatepractice score, provided another quantitative aggregate measure. Of note, end-of-chapter numericresponse problems had a much larger fraction of problems at higher deliberate practice scoresthan in-chapter, numeric questions.IntroductionInteractive technologies in engineering education are creating big data that can be used tomeasure student engagement and learning.

Throughout this lecture we continually integratedthe concept of the engineering design process starting with identifying the problem followed bydesigning, creating, testing, and improving their technology. This was important because mosthigh school students had no exposure to the design process and this activity served as their firstopportunity to learn about what engineers do daily.
