The teams were composed of students from threecolleges: Engineering, Earth and Mineral Sciences, and Information Sciences and Technology andwere interdisciplinary in composition. Ninety-eight percent of the project teams containedstudents from multiple departments from these colleges, while sixty percent of the teams consistedof students from three or more departments.The capstone design projects were facilitated over the course of a semester through regular classmeetings supervised by engineering faculty members across the College of Engineering. As partof the course, students were prepared to communicate their final projects at a public end-of-semester showcase event, where design teams presented

This is intended to provide a seamless transition from Wright to 4-year institutions.In the first year of the Project, Wright was able to solidify new partnerships with The ArmourCollege of Engineering at Illinois Tech (IIT) and Southern Illinois University (SIU), and aconversation is ongoing with the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). The AppliedEngineering Pathway, collaboration with SIU, is a dual admission program in which students cancomplete an Associate in Science (AS) at Wright College and transfer into BS in ElectricalEngineering Technology at SIU
. IntroductionNative Americans are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).Despite comprising nearly 2.9% of the population (United States Census, 2020), they represent only0.25% of all engineering bachelor's degree recipients, 0.3% of the U.S. engineering workforce, and 0.07%of all engineering faculty [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Various barriers may contribute to this underrepresentation,including limited access to quality STEM education, lack of role models, and socioeconomic challenges[6, 7, 8].NTU engineering faculty have also observed that students from local school districts entering engineeringprograms are often ill-equipped for engineering education. Engineering requires deep learning supportedby critical thinking and self

Improving SVskills has been shown to increase graduation rates and academic accomplishment [Sorby 2012].Research has indicated that women on average have lower spatial visualization scores, possiblydue to lower level of building activity at a young age, but that this skill is teachable andespecially beneficial for female students as highlighted in the report “Why so few? Women inscience, technology, engineering, and mathematics” [Hill et al. 2010] which lists SV training as away to level the playing field between male and female STEM students. Reilly et al. [2017]underscore the significance of spatial ability in STEM education and the potential for targetedinterventions to mitigate gender disparities in this area

more learner-centered and focusedon formative feedback rather than summative evaluation [1].As the world of technology continues to advance, a shift and embracement of new assessmentmethods is appropriate and necessary. For example, as of early 2022, the New York Timesreported that universities are now having to change the way they are teaching and assessingstudents because of the widespread availability of A.I. Chatbots such as ChatGPT [12]. WithinIE at Minnesota State University, Mankato, differential methods of assessment have beenemployed for over a decade and we want to share our experiences with oral exams to supportothers in embracing the changing world, better preparing engineering students for their futurepositions.Overview of
