Adding a new curriculum iscritical to adjust the students attending year after year as well as remaining innovative.Furthermore, adding activities, there are plans to translate lessons from Coding Academy intoSaturday workshops. These short courses would help refresh students on material and/or buildupon previous lessons from the summer curriculum. By supplying students with these extralessons Coding Academy cultivates the learner and offers accessibility for students for whomsummer classes, and or weekday lessons are not possible.One question asked in the Coding Academy survey was if the students planned on learning othercoding languages.

These issues were compounded by increased food and housing insecurities and mentalhealth struggles due to the stress of the pandemic [12]. Despite some support from institutions andorganizations, such as ScholarMatch, many students lacked sufficient resources and assistance,exacerbating educational inequalities, and underscoring the need for targeted support to ensuretheir academic success [13], [14]. A study by Lee et al found that students from low socioeconomicbackgrounds greatly valued the ability to study at their own pace, citing it as the primary benefitof online learning

Previous research has indicated that participation in undergraduate researchopportunities significantly increases the chance of individuals pursuing graduate school [23].With the desire to increase representation and diversity in graduate school programs, we soughtto understand if participation in undergraduate research impacts career plans differently from NDto NT individuals. Both ND and NT participants had similar low percentages for disagreeing andstrongly disagreeing that they received quality
push researchers andeducational practitioners to reformulate and package non-scientific ideas in a scientific andpositivist way to be able to achieve their goals (e.g., research funding, new course design). Toprevent such efforts and gain a better picture of different world views, we may utilize AIprograms as artificial assessors, reviewing proposals and plans primarily through textual andnatural language processing methods. However, we again need to set rule-based conditions andexceptions for AI programs on what to consider Scientific and Non-scientific and whereIndigenous ways of knowing fall into that spectrum. So for either AI or human decision-makers,choices need to be made on the chain of logic and reasoning employed to appropriately

A pilotexperiment is under way, and we will have partial results available during the conference.Our long-term goal is to show that selecting a professional role model and analyzing it from thestudents’ own perspective will increase student identification with the domain of study, theirmotivation and engagement and will contribute to

In thefinal class discussions, students reported having a greater appreciation for the impact ofengineering design choices on populations and noticing exclusionary designs in many aspects oftheir day-to-day life.3.2 Instructional Team ReflectionAs described in Section 2.1, the instructional team was made up of a mechanical engineeringfaculty member and an instructional designer trained in secondary education. The makeup of thisteam is of note as the faculty member was encouraged to use pedagogical strategies in this coursebeyond the active, problem-based approach she has previously used. This often-created frictionwithin the instructional team as discussion heavy and fluid class session planning was outside ofthe comfort

Inthis way, we will create social justice action from the applied research effort we report at ASEE.Some possible mechanisms for creating dialog with faculty in computing at the universityinclude a) sharing current counternarratives with faculty with opportunity for discussion in afaculty meeting, b) proposing communications changes to departmental staff and leadership toclarify opportunities in the CS department, and c) developing student climate survey instrumentsthat relate to concerns demonstrated in counternarratives.

She also comments on how long ‘active learning’ hasbeen part of engineering education transformation, but questions how pervasive or wellimplemented such approaches are on a large scale. Students are not responsive to ‘old’methods. We must learn how to teach using the tools and methods we are challenging students tolearn. She uses the VLOOKUP function in Excel as an example.

A single-factorANOVA analysis was done on the pre-survey (2022) to compare the constructs and assess meandifferences. A post hoc analysis was done further using a Tukey HSD test to check forstatistically significant differences between the frameworks. These comparisons were performedto determine which constructs students were experiencing at the start of the course. The sameanalyses were done on the pre
