threeunexcused absences. While these policies are not unreasonable, they tend to motivate students toparticipate in these activities. We recommend similar policies adapted to your courses toincentivize students (e.g., those who benefit from more guiding structure or who are tempted toprocrastinate) to stay engaged and not fall behind.Observations and Tips: This is a very different grading structure that many students are notfamiliar with, so it is helpful to review the grading structure and the retesting process more thanonce (e.g., after the first testing session when they may have more motivation to understand thestructure than on the first day of class when the syllabus was presented). In the end, we didn’timpose grade deductions if a student gave a

inadvertentlyadvantaged students of their own background [6]. Some schools have developed programs thatattempt to increase the feeling of belonging for historically marginalized groups, but most ofthese interactions occur outside the classroom [3]. The purpose of this study is to quantify andevaluate the efficacy of a clinical observations and needs-finding course on historicallymarginalized groups, to create a more welcoming and equal learning environment.Methods:To measure students’ perceptions before and after completing the course, a Qualtrics survey wascreated with Likert scale questions and open-response questions that directly aligned with thecourse objectives as stated in the syllabus. The survey was administered to all 75 junior-levelundergraduate

lectures for health reasons or other circumstances. The students also had theopportunity to attend lectures online if they were feeling unwell or traveling. Through activelearning strategies, group discussions, and meaningful group projects, we promoted various meansof expression and engagement. The exams were part of the course, but they were not the only wayof assessing learning. As all students might not feel comfortable speaking up during the class, dueto being an introvert, being afraid to be wrong, or coming from a culture where assertiveness isnot the norm, we used online polling and online discussion boards to engage all students. Thegroup projects had oral and written components, which allowed the students to demonstrate theirverbal and

human-centered design approach, (2) the intersection of socialjustice and design thinking, and (3) the implications of design choices on historicallymarginalized groups. Course artifacts, student reflections, and instructional team reflections areused to understand the growth in mindset of the students and instructor through this course.Additionally, these resources are used to present key learnings for future implementation.This project focused on examining systems. Groups historically excluded from engineering,including people of color, disabled, LGBTQ+, and women, were recentered through the humancentered design process. Students evaluated engineering systems for exclusion and ideated on thesource of these design flaws. In doing so, they

reproduce if we do notimplement inclusive practices with a critical lens.In relation to looking at barriers to inclusion, studying the phenomenon of power in thesociological sense has also gained traction in engineering education. Moving in this direction iscritical as we seek to understand barriers to diversity, equity, and inclusion. In this paper, we usethe Oxford Dictionary definition of power: the capacity or ability to direct or influence thebehavior of others or the course of events. Power as a phenomenon has become particularlyimportant in understanding structural systems of oppression that prevent major change to happenin diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. This paper looks to explore Patricia Hill Collins’framework of domains of

, I took liberties to construct excitingopportunities that would allow me to learn and grow.To do so, I had to change advisors to find the right person to support my path, write essays tovalidate my efforts, and meet with administrators to get approval for unconventional approachesand opportunities. Most of my PhD professors approved requests to modify projects targetedtoward faculty preparation to be more entrepreneurial. For example, for the anchor course,Content Assessment and Pedagogy, instead of developing a detailed course syllabus (which wasthe assignment), I pitched an idea to my client to write new curricula that would go on to be myfirst product in a ~million-dollar portfolio for them. That's right! I got paid to do a
