From the literature[14, we utilized an inductive coding consisting of three constructs: attributes, professions, andactivities. When coding for attributes, we considered perceived gender, collaboration, andself-identification. For profession, we coded the type of work depicted or described in thedrawing, e.g. designer, builder, train conductor, etc. Coding for activities involved taggingimages or words related to action, e.g. laboratory work, engineering design process, drawings,etc. The following section describes the implementation of the module and the results fromanalyzing the drawings.

To evaluate this curriculum, we also present results of a mixed methods approach tocollect quantitative and qualitative data on the tool and students’ perceptions of engineering as aresult of using the tool. Previous research has shown that new materials in soft robots may fosterrobotics interest for a diverse population of students and expand students’ ideas about whatrobots do and how engineering can be used in human

In order to make these meetings more dynamicand participative, the remote instructor uses CIT resources such as Menti – an interactive platform thatfacilitates the interaction of the students with the remote instructor using students' cellular phones. Inremote locations, the internet bandwidth is limited. Using only ONE computer to implement thesynchronous meeting (instead of each student connected to the videoconference) improvescommunication with the class, and the students' interactions via cell phones have no impact on thebandwidth. The remote instructor has access to the minimum CIT resources at the location where theinstructor lives (cameras, microphones, tablet, board, laboratory equipment, and others) to
