]. Natural LanguageProcessing (NLP) uses machine learning methods like transformer-based machine learningmodels [7], [8], which can be used through fine-tuning or in-context learning methods. 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

. One prevalentobstacle is their social capital deficit. According to Lin, social capital is defined as “theinvestment in social relations with expected returns in the marketplace” (p.19, 2001). 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). This socialcapital deficit can result in degree completion failure, underemployment, and lower lifetimeearnings. Providing the students with explicit instruction on

The exercises ranged from writing simple MATLAB programs thatperform computations and graph results to more complex and practical applications. Feedbackfrom students indicate that the exercises were successful in achieving the course objectives butthere is room for improvement. Future plans include expanding the simulation exercises toinclude induction motors and the smart grid.

They want clear objectives and expectations at the beginning of a course and inadvance of activities, such as in an explicit and detailed syllabus.

it atry.I felt a sense of culture shock becoming a new assistant professor at an R1 university as a 26-year old. I was burnt out from my PhD, having defended and finalized by dissertation in Augustimmediately before coming to Ux. The department didn’t seem very welcoming. From thefaculty search that hired me, two people were hired - myself and a Hispanic male. Thedepartment got an extra faculty line since perhaps we both qualified as ‘diversity hires.’ Somefaculty in the department seemed to resent that. And the resources planned for the position (labspace, funds) were simply cut in half. I felt somewhat alone, and a message of ‘sink or swim’was conveyed by the department chair and many faculty. I certainly didn’t feel that I belonged. Ifelt
