, all four teams ordered the parts and started working onthe projects in the second and third weeks of July. Since the MTSU campus was closed and theCOVID-19 cases surged in the summer, the students collaborated remotely using slack, Zoom,text messages, Discord, etc. Because the project involved writing code, some students also set upGitHub repositories in order to collaborate and perform version control. The faculty mentorshelped the students along the way by holding regularly status meetings and answering theirquestions.4. Project OutcomesAll four teams completed their projects by the end of July, and the last week was mostly used totinker and dabble.

Furthermore, several studiesfound that collaboration improves students’ performance by developing higher order-thinkingwhen students discuss their ideas in the group (Chung, 1998; S. D. Johnson & Chung, 1999;Mergendoller, Bellisimo, & Maxwell, 2000). Students will more engaged in learning when theyfeel they are an accepted group member (Willms, 2003). For example, girls have positiveperceptions about team processes when they are in a group comprised of other girls. As shown inprior research on SEEK, girls felt less positive about their team processes and were less engagedwhen they were in a co-ed team (Beauchamp, Edwards, Knight, & Lee, 2019). Thus, in additionto focusing on the outcomes (i.e

engineering comprise one thread of currentresearch. Originating from Mead and Metraux’s 1957 study of high school student images ofscientists [10], more recent research has focused on comparing K-12 student drawings ofscientists and engineers [11-14].The Fralick et al.’s 2009 [13] study is of interest to our work in progress because it developed arobust taxonomy for comparing drawings of scientists (DAS) and engineers (DAE) by middleschool level students (see Appendix A). They developed three general categories: species;objects; and inferred actions. We employ the Fralick et al. taxonomy to identify intersectionsbetween the descriptions of engineers and engineering we collected from our citizen scienceparticipants and images produce by K-12

understanding of each method's physics byconnecting the physical principles to the applications; compare various plausible NDEtechniques for common industrial applications; given an application, identify one or moreappropriate NDE technique(s) by providing convincing scientific reasoning and justification. Teaching ‘Nondestructive Evaluation of Flaws’, an all-around course in NDE, using thetraditional lecture-based methods is challenging because: (1) each NDE method is based on adifferent physical principle; it is difficult for the students to grasp all the different principles andmethods one after the other within the short 15-week timeframe of one semester, and (2) theclass is highly heterogenous; the students have very different backgrounds

An example ofgiving students a voice is the letter they wrote to the EE and CPE chairs asking them to sign apublic letter condemning a local racist event. An example of educating faculty and students areour guest speakers on, for example, Title IX changes and our conversations between students andfaculty on things that the other don’t realize.

Another interesting thing is the fact that for different centralities the network can be represented by a vector, matrix or tensor this is mostly because a particular characteristic of the network can be a function of the node, the links or the relationship between the node and the links.
