The statistical analysis methods of means, materiality, and Cronbach’salpha will be used to assess the value of the survey. One of the challenges faced by the authors isfinding sufficient data to perform a statistical analysis. It may, in fact, take multiple academicyears to have statistically significant data. The survey itself will allow the authors to examine theimpact of the flipped classroom and the utilization of multiple faculty members in such a class.ConclusionsIn this Work-In-Progress paper, the authors have outlined the current research into the flippedclassroom, discussed the

Moreover, by converting text-based lessons andtechnical documentation into audio formats, AI can support students with disabilities, such asvisual impairments or dyslexia. We recognize that there are ethical considerations in the use ofAI-generated content–such as ensuring that it does not perpetuate biases or misinformation orinclude nonconsensual usage of faces and voices–that need to be carefully

The resultsdraw attention to important issues in the hopes of inspiring interest, attention to best practices,and cautions.IntroductionAs the interest and application of community engaged research (CER) is increasing inengineering, it is becoming clear that there is a lack of consensus on best practices and a generalunderappreciation of ethical challenges. This research aims to help address these shortcomings,by amplifying the voices of academic women of color who have engaged in CER in STEMfields. This paper begins by providing background information on CER, then moves to theresearch methods, and concludes with the findings.At its most basic, CER brings together two ideas: research and community

educational practices and professional outcomes. The integration of empathyinto engineering education and practice enhances the ability of engineers to design solutions thatare not only technically sound but also socially responsible and user-centered. Empathy helpsengineers understand and address the diverse needs of users, leading to more inclusive andeffective design solutions. This perspective is supported by various studies that highlight the roleof empathy in engineering education and practice [2], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. Empathy is considered a necessary interpersonal skill for modern engineers, supportingcreativity, ethical decision-making, and collaboration. However, perceptions of its importance inpedagogy vary among instructors

However, AI may be most effective in fields where students arerequired to complete more ill-defined tasks such as writing lab reports or creative writing [1],[8]. Similarly, AI has been used in marketing and other business fields for content creation, salesoptimization, and for customer service chatbots [12-13]. In science education, the use of AI hasbeen shown to can boost students’ motivation and participation in learning exercises, but it haslimitations regarding complex subjects, and can

All of the participants (22 participants that have been followed longitudinally for thepast 4 years) in this study reported feeling marginalized within their engineering programs,where they were frequently viewed through the lens of academic “deficits” communicated tothem through verbal and non-verbal microaggressions [5]. These students often faced subtle yetpervasive stereotypes, including assumptions about their academic abilities, work ethic, andcommitment to completing their degrees.
