Team 3 first turned their attention to the physical construction materials they had beengiven to build the model of their microshelter. They measured these components and discussedhow these measurements could represent the size of the real structures. That is, they wereconcerned right away with the scale and scale factor of the model they would build. They noticedthe even dimensions—2in, 4in, 6in, and 8in—of the materials and then compared these to thedimensions of the supplies in the supply sheet. Although they focused initially on the two-dimensional space available for the floor (the“footprint” of the shelter), they were also very concerned about the interior height

Planned improvements include (1) provide explanatory information about why thewiring needs to be a certain way; (2) adding a sequence number to each wire; (3) showing theinterface steps in a to do list; (4) eliminating each step as it is completed, (5) adding a videoshowing an someone interfacing a physical module, sensors, and relay, and (6) adding real-lifevideo of the

For veryyoung students to complete the activity independently, some modifications were necessary. Thethreading task proved to be the most difficult part of the activity as the small holes requiredstudents to use greater force for threading. To eliminate this bottleneck, we plan to create largerthreading holes for the students.

NLP canbe used to train algorithms that can automate the coding of written responses. Only a few studiesfor educational applications have leveraged transformer-based machine learning models, furtherprompting an investigation into its use in STEM education. However, since language analysis ischallenging to automate because of its complexity, NLP has been criticized for increasing thepossibility of perpetuating and amplifying harmful stereotypes and implicit biases [9], [10].This study details preliminary results to plan for using NLP for linguistic justice

This socialcapital deficit can appear for undergraduate engineering students in the following ways: (a) lackof access to social supports for career planning, (b) lack of awareness or comfortability withseeking support from university resources including faculty and career centers, and (c) lack offamilial emotional support for their career path (Martin, Millers & Simmons, 2014).
