Innovative Intervention to Infuse Diversity and Inclusion in a Statics CourseAbstractEngineering educators strive to prepare their students for success in the engineering workforce.Increasingly, many career paths will require engineering graduates to work in multidisciplinaryteams with individuals possessing a diversity of skill sets, backgrounds, and identities. Therefore,it is important not only for future engineers to have the opportunity to work in teams as students,but also to have specific instruction that teaches them about teamwork skills and the valuediversity and inclusion bring to engineering practice. Furthermore, it is important that thisinstruction occurs throughout their engineering coursework, giving

habitual. Assigning marks to participationcomponents will be a necessary extrinsic motivator as long as the problems are “textbook-style”or “exam-type” problems. Students must practice the fundamentals, and this is best done withclosed-ended problems of manageable scope. However, students may not perceive that suchproblems are deeply meaningful or inspirational, even if effort is made to relate the problem toindustry. The author is optimistic that student engagement in unstructured active problem-solving sessions would be higher in a course where the instructional team acted as coaches forlarger, open-ended, societally impactful problems (ideally sourced by the students)[11].When generating the videos for the first iteration of the course, the

and learning styles, and (2) technology use ineducation.1. Learning stylesLearning styles is a well-researched topic in the field of education. It is well-established thatstudents have different preferred learning styles that directly impact the assimilation and retentionof course content, and thus overall student achievement. There are many benefits for either astudent or an instructor to understand learning styles, as instructors can develop teaching strategiesto cover differents mode of input, while students could be more effective learners by adjustingtheir study habits and the way they take notes to accommodate their modality preferences. Thesefacts lead to challenging implications on the instructors in terms of awareness of the
