in the list correspond to hierarchically lower categories and provide a foundation to build upon to reach and achieve higher categories. In addition, the taxonomy has a dimension exploring four types of knowledge: factual, conceptual, procedural, and metacognitive. This taxonomy can greatly aid educators in clearly defining course goals to achieve desired learning outcomes, and it also helps align the expectations of students and educators for the learning experience in a course. Thus, Bloom’s taxonomy can also inform the assessment techniques that educators might use to evaluate whether students have truly grasped the planned learning goals. In fact, Bloom’s taxonomy has been applied in an ECE education context. Meda and

Thus, it isimperative that we assess and evaluate any accounts of blind ECE learners to critically redesignECE pedagogy to meet their preferences and needs and prioritize their inclusion. TheChallenging and Rewarding Experiences (CARE) methodology is a recent framework thatpromotes an in-depth assessment of student-centric perspectives on ECE course offerings, withthe intention of informing instructors of necessary change to be introduced to the courseofferings to improve students’ experiences and align their expectations with the planned courseobjectives.

students' perceptions of their experiences with customPCBAs, rather than directly measuring their learning outcomes. We acknowledge this as alimitation. However, we believe that custom PCBAs indirectly enhance student learning. Byeliminating the time-consuming breadboarding process, students can spend more time engagingwith the material and applying what they've learned. This efficient use of class time allows for adeeper exploration of topics and more in-class activities. Additionally, by reducing the need fortroubleshooting common issues associated with breadboarding, students can concentrate more onthe core learning objectives. In future studies, we plan to directly measure the impact of customPCBAs on student learning to provide a more

Although both cohortsare not yet expected to have graduated, the majority of students (12 out of 18) are on track to doso within the next year or shortly thereafter, which conforms to a 4- to 5-year time to graduation.In fact, three students have graduated early (within 3.5 years), which already gives a resultinggraduation rate of 33% for the first cohort.

Objective and MotivationIn 2018, the National Science and Technology Council Committee on STEM Education releasedAmerica’s strategic plan to lay out a vision for future STEM education with three goals: buildingstrong foundations for STEM literacy, increasing DEI in STEM, and preparing the STEMworkforce for the future [1]. Specifically, the second goal, increasing DEI in STEM, is key toachieving the other two goals. Following the guidance of this strategic plan, colleges, anduniversities have implemented various practices, including recruiting a more diverse faculty andstudent body for better diversity and inclusion on campus, improving outreach and recruitment toa diverse array of students, providing support services for students, and creating an

Our recommendation foraddressing the STEM pipeline leak is to create a system to track students that fall out of formalSTEM pipelines.

In this interview, instructors not only in Electromagneticsbut also in other courses usually experience a lack of time to cover all the planned topics.Specially, the U.S. Air Force has a specialized curriculum to achieve both academic and militarystandards in its education, and the total in-class and out-of-class time seems limited compared toother universities.

The first adjustment is to include a more extensive review oftopics from computing, particularly the use of computational models. The second adjustment isto shift much of the prerequisite review to offline learning modules that students can completeindependently.

Self-efficacy refers to the strength of an individual’s belief in their capabilities to complete tasks andachieve a planned outcome (Bandura, 1997).
