remains a dominantideology in public opinion, professional practice, academic policy, and law in the U. S. today [1].The legal definition of disability in the U. S. exemplifies the medical model. Section 3 of theAmericans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and its 2008 amendment defines disability, with respectto an individual, as “(A) a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more ofthe major life activities of such individual; (B) a record of such an impairment; or (C) beingregarded as having such an impairment” [34]. The second model, called the social model ofdisability, emerged in the late 20th century [15] and has quickly become a widespreadepistemology in disability studies [35]. The social model posits disability as a

The research describes the current status of theaffirmative sustainable support for scholars in energy technologies (ASSSET) program andexplores its potential impact on the graduate and retention of engineering students. This NSF S-STEM funded project provides scholarships and educational support to low-income,academically talented students entering and pursuing engineering studies at the University ofLouisiana at Lafayette. Its main objective is to increase the retention and graduation in fieldsrelated to energy technology. It supports students in the chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical,industrial technology and petroleum engineering. The ASSSET program was developed with theplan of incorporating evidenced

measures the degreeto which a lesson integrates technology and helps students reach the learning goal(s). Theframework is based on three main components: (1) Engagement in learning goals (2)Enhancement of learning goals, and (3) Extension of learning goals. The key concept of thisframework which is relevant to this study is its emphasis on the importance of the instructionalstrategy, which goes hand-in-hand with the use of any technology for learning.In this project, the Triple E Evaluation framework will be utilized as a lens to assess whether thetechnology choices made for teaching and learning leads to student engagement in learninggoals, enhancement of learning goals, and whether technology use helps the learners extend theiracademic learning

A singular data point would not fully capture the story ofchanging interests and choices, rather we utilize focus group data from participants’ first sixsemesters in an undergraduate engineering program.

Self-selecting software remains the course standard as long as the software was within the resourcesavailable to the AE program. Over the years and amongst teams, selected software varied in typeand number of platforms relative to how teams wanted to customize their experience.Considerations for software were based on perceived benefits that the software could aid theteam towards meeting the capstone goal of designing integrated engineered system(s) solutions.Faculty observations found that software could be grouped into two overarching categories:  Design documentation software that students use to convey solutions to a
