Our expectedoutcome is a stronger sense of community among the students and faculty in the department.IntroductionLearning is a socially situated process optimized when students construct their knowledgetogether [1], [2], [3]. As communities of practice, college learning communities facilitate thedevelopment of collaborative and academic support relationships through ongoing peerinteraction [1]. College students’ sense of community has been directly linked to theirpersistence [4], satisfaction with the university, motivation, and perception of course value [5].Literature also shows that first-year college students with positive changes in universitybelonging have corresponding positive changes in self-perceptions (e.g., academic competence

neurodevelopmental disorders, as well as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia, whichhave been categorized as specific learning disabilities (SLDs) [1, 2]. Historically, research hasfocused on the deficits related to these neurological variations. However, recent research hasreflected a growing interest in understanding the strengths associated with neurodiversity. Agrowing body of literature suggests that neurodivergent individuals may possess traits such asdivergent thinking, risk-taking, creativity, or spatial visualization skills [3-7] that may be assetsin STEM fields. Despite the potential of neurodivergent students to leverage these strengths tocontribute to innovation in their fields, they face a multitude of barriers and difficulties whilenavigating

However, URMs still represent only about 14% ofbaccalaureate degrees conferred in engineering, and this percentage has remained relativelyunchanged since 2010 [2]. To enhance the US engineering workforce, it is crucial to promotediversity and inclusion by encouraging and retaining students from URM groups in engineeringmajors.

While there is significant evidence to suggest student learning of process controlconcepts is enhanced through hands-on experiences [2], [3], the majority of process controlcourses do not integrate hands-on labs, perhaps due to limited access to process controlequipment.

Engineering curriculum at our university.1 SignificanceNeed for this course was felt in the department because several research faculty memberswanted to integrate VLSI chips using MCU-based systems. To integrate custom VLSIchips into a system using MCU based control, one method is to build custom printedcircuit board (PCB) to integrate components like opamp and buffers to read outputs from achip. To send inputs to the chip, different pulse generator chips and voltage regulatorscould be integrated on the same PCB. To build a system out of several chips, MCU can beused to calculate inputs to the next chip based on outputs from the previous chip andalgorithm designed in C on the MCU. Therefore, to achieve the requirements of ourdepartment, the course

Studies show that although there has been an increase in women earning PhDs incomputer science and engineering, the percentage of female faculty members has notincreased as much [2]. One possible reason could be that demands to publish and teachstudents have created challenges for female faculty of STEM to balance between work andfamily [3]. If such assumption is true, this reality indirectly but undoubtably have pushedback boundaries of the traditional ideology regarding women’s family and work roles andresponsibilities [4] and
