programmatic requirements currently in place. Another obstacle is that any changes tothe curriculum that require significant effort from faculty or staff would be difficult to sell andwould not be adopted widely. In the proposed framework, the DEEP modules serve as thesupplementary materials to existing STEM courses. In other words, the basic concepts andfundamental principles to be learned remain the same and are taught in the same way as in atraditional STEM class. The DEEP modules can be used to replace/supplement some of thetextbook examples and homework problems. Therefore, the proposed DEEP module approachcan effectively address the above-mentioned obstacles.Since its introduction, Jupyter Notebook has become an excellent interactive training

Given the importance of heat transfer, it is most troubling that recent research shows thatstudents have a limited understanding of heat transfer principles even after the completion of oneor more heat transfer courses1. Specifically, students have shown (i) a significant lack ofconceptual understanding of heat transfer principles, (ii) an inability to transfer knowledge tosubsequent courses and out-of-context problems, and (iii) an insufficient transformation fromnovice to “competent practitioner.” Despite completing several courses in thermal and transport sciences, a significantnumber of

Best practicessuggest that more effective efforts should be designed to (1) maintain and expand situationalinterest, and (2) integrate with individual and community values. Challenges to broadening participation in engineering are further complicated as researchindicates that factors such as outcome expectations are more important than interest alone in thecareer choices of underrepresented groups [3-6]. In particular, for Appalachian youth, pastresearch from members of our team showed that a desire for consistent local employment andaligning one’s future in accordance with family values and pressures were important factors incareer choice.
