proposed project.Opportunity Gaps and DFW DisparitiesCritical-path courses typically have very high fail rates, contributing to significantly highattrition rates in Science, Engineering, Technology, Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Forvarious reasons, Hispanic students and students of color in STEM have higher DFW and collegedrop-out rates than their white peers [5]. These disparities are representative of the nationwidetrends [5]. DFW disparity for students of color conflicts with the nation’s urgent need for adiverse and well-prepared STEM workforce.Table 1 shows the average GPA gaps of selected critical path courses at Sacramento Statebetween Fall 2012 and Fall 2022. The average GPA gaps are shown for first-generation (FirstGen), Under

engaged with course content.IntroductionAssessment is a cornerstone of the educational process, deriving from defined learning objectivesthat outline how students should engage with course material. The importance of assessment tolearning is underscored by the recognition that it serves as a guiding force for both educators andstudents. The clear definition of learning objectives, as discussed in the literature [1-2], aidsinstructors in selecting appropriate course content, planning lectures, designing assignments, andwriting tests. The relevance of assessment to engineering education is further highlighted by therole of accreditation, particularly through the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET). ABET, as detailed in the
EducationAbstractThe vast scope of digital design and the cost associated with purchasing and maintainingspecialized lab equipment can pose a significant obstacle for pre-college students. This challengeis particularly significant for students from low-income and underrepresented minoritybackgrounds who often begin their higher education journey in community college programswith limited funding and access to engineering hardware. BEADLE, a project designed topromote equity in access to educational technologies, seeks to address this issue by providing anaffordable platform that allows students to remotely access industry-grade hardware to learn anddevelop their skills in digital design as a step towards pursuing advanced digital designcoursework in a

Overall, I had a pretty good experience. • The Project has left a big impact on me because it was very interesting talking to the engineers from the company back in January. It also left a big impact on me personally because it allowed me to land a job at the NSWC in CA. • This project has exposed me to the sensor technology used in unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and this hands-on experience can be transferable to other sensor feedback systems. I learned about the limitations of sensors and other equipment first-hand and the difficulties of getting a system running. A principal engineer is not only skilled in their field but can understand

Support for Blind or Low-Vision (BLV) Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) LearnersAbstractThere is a growing, yet relatively limited body of research exploring the experiences of learnerswith disabilities in introductory electrical and computer engineering (ECE) education. With theproven importance of introductory ECE education in influencing students’ undergraduateinterests and future career prospects in technology, the inaccessibility of the field to learners withdisabilities poses an inequitable access barrier that further marginalizes these learners, oftenpreventing them from exploring the field in the first place. In particular, as ECE largely relies onvisual cues for designing, building, testing, and debugging
