work is to to understand factors that inhibit full participation of students who identify with historically marginalized groups and investigate evidence-based strategies for mitigating these inequities. In addition, she is interested in technology and how specific affordances can change the ways we collaborate, learn, read, and write. Teaching engineering communication allows her to apply this work as she coaches students through collaboration, design thinking, and design communication. She is part of a team of faculty innovators who originated Tandem (tandem.ai.umich.edu), a tool designed to help facilitate equitable and inclusive teamwork environments.Rebecca L Matz, University of Michigan Becky Matz is a Research

, students incomputing fields that intend to become software developers should be exposed to and,ideally, have practical experience with modern software processes. This paper describesexperiences in a software capstone course which teaches students the activities associatedwith two popular industry processes: XP and RUP. In particular, the course uses studentprojects to create applications used within the university. The unique aspect of the coursethat differentiates it from other software engineering capstone experiences is theemphasis on agile processes (primarily XP) and the use of software development tools(e.g. configuration management, automated testing, modeling) commonly used inindustry.Four university projects have been created to date.

computational models of invisible processes in physical systems (e.g., [8]). As argued by Gupta and colleagues [9], a more complete engineering education alsodemands a deeper focus on the “macroethics” of engineering, including the social, ethical, andpolitical impacts of engineers’ scientific and technological pursuits. However, children and manyadults rarely conceptualize their interactions with machines in ways that are consistent with thecomplex and dynamic nature of machine learning systems [4], [5]. While mechanistic reasoningis often used to account for thinking about the behavior within systems, we also apply amechanistic lens to think about ethical dimensions of the sociopolitical contexts in whichmachine learning systems operate.

Michelle’s previous research covered numerous topics including the effects of temperature on soil moisture probes, middle school students’ perceptions on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and natural gas leak detection methods. Her current research is on how contaminant perception of artisanal and small-scale mining at different spatial scales influences environmental response and how engineers can work with that information to co-develop socio-technical responses to environmental pollution.Nathaniel Leander Steadman Nathaniel Steadman is an M.S. student at the University of Texas at Arlington studying
majors, including Electrical and Computer Engineering students. Multiple factors contribute to retention issues, such as poor teaching and advising, the difficulty of the engineering curriculum, and lack of motivation resulting from poor connections to the engineering community. Statistics indicate a large drop in the continuation rate between the first and third years among Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) students. As students encounter increasing course difficulty in the early stages of their programs, they often lack motivation to persist because they have weak connections to their majors and potential careers in STEM.
