Inaddition, the revisions to ABET criterion 5 (curriculum) now include the need to address DEI [2].To accomplish part of the curricular component, we have been working on hands-on activities thatare scalable from a first-year program to upper level courses in the Fred DeMatteis School ofEngineering and Applied Science (SEAS) at Hofstra University, a midsized, private universitylocated in Hempstead, NY. Hofstra is situated in a region that represents a very diverse communityand the students in our engineering programs mirror this diversity. For example, SEAS boasts a63.7

post-pandemic are overwhelmingly desirous of in-class instruction with no videos. Wefind that our graduate students co-enrolled in senior design electives have been less affected bythe pandemic in terms of acceptance of the flipped format. This gives hope that the effects of thepandemic on the student experience with flipped classrooms will be temporary. However, it is areminder that student acceptance of pedagogical tools does vary in time, and that instructorsshould be nimble in being able to respond to the needs of an individual cohort.References[1] Bishop, J., & Verleger, M.

diverse student audience. Specifically, we have beenbuilding a game-based learning module focused on experiencing the field testing technique cone-penetration testing (CPT). As part of the module, students start a virtual internship at a fictionalengineering company. After being briefed through a lecture on CPT, they enter a 3D (game)environment where they conduct CPTs. Students analyze CPT data extracted from theenvironment and submit a report. To assess student experience of this module, we collectedpre/post surveys, game data (including in-game assessments), and student/faculty interviews. Inthis paper, we report the findings of implementing this CPT module in the initial three years ofthe project (2016-2019) at five institutions. Overall, we
