the USA,women represent only 19.7% of engineering graduates and 18.7% of computer sciencegraduates, lagging behind the 35.5% of women in all STEM fields [2]. The goal of this projectwas to understand student thinking about diversity and inclusion with the long-term aim ofimproving culture for females and under-represented groups. The engineering workforce andengineered products, infrastructure, and services can certainly benefit from designs created bydiverse teams. Prior researchers have linked diversity to increased creativity in teams andwork-groups [3, 4].Building an inclusive culture is challenging but very important.

minimized due to the adjustment.However, the core material was maintained with the breadth of the course still covered. As thiscourse serves as a core prerequisite, the removal of topics would impact follow-on courses and thefoundation for practice in engineering. The intent of reduced course material is to humanize thecourse by acknowledging that students do not comprehend the material online in the same waythey do in-person. However, this is countered by the requirements for students to have exposureto certain topics and skills. There is no right or wrong answer to this issue as both sides are equallysupported.

At the end of each semester, students complete a survey to evaluate the condition of thelab, curriculum, and equipment, what they felt worked well and not so well, and to note any testsor materials that were not done which they would have liked to do. This evaluation was thensummarized and used to guide further development of the lab space and the curriculum. The useof the surveys together with significant equipment upgrades and purchases has led to asubstantial improvement in the lab experience for the students.Introduction As a “practical” profession, it can be argued that engineering is intrinsically hands-on,but at the undergraduate engineering education level, a solid laboratory

Students mayperuse the views and orbit the model in 3D to understand the nature of the problem. This type ofengagement, inquiry, and discovery is typically not possible in traditional paper exams.Additionally, by modeling the context in 3D, the exam designer is forced to fully develop theproblem in a way that is not typically done for an on-paper exam.
