activities that explore spatialreasoning, such as mapping exercises, geometry projects, or community walks that allowstudents to analyze and visualize mathematical concepts in their surroundings. Wood’s [24]research highlighted the effectiveness of collaborative discourse in the classroom based onreal-world problems to move their mental effort from contextual understanding to a moreabstract or formal understanding of math itself. Besides contextual discourse, Brizuela andStrachota [20] encouraged the use of visual tools showing real-world scenarios, allowingstudents to explore ideas with joy and curiosity, making learning more meaningful andapplicable to their lives. Resnick’s [21] shifted the idea from visual tools towards the focuson mental models

project.4.1 Introductory SurveysEach student was given an introductory survey during the first week of the class. This surveyasked for demographic information (gender, prior programming experience (PPE), year in school,GPA, and major), general information (if the student was also taking the lab associated with thiscourse and how many hours of prior programming experience they had), as well as what grade theyexpected to receive in the course by the end of the semester. Students were given a drop-down menuof achievable grades in the class and asked to choose which grade option they expected themselvesto receive. Finally, the students were asked questions about their perceptions of programming andlearning preferences. For each question, five

After interviewing associatedeans and faculty members for a different aspect of a broader project focused on nonacademiccareer pathways of graduate students in engineering, we requested that they recommend alumniin industry or government who could offer insights about how graduate education prepared themfor their current work. Some of the participants who agreed to this interview were recent alumniacross engineering disciplines, and others were senior executives within structural engineering.Snowball sampling was further employed during the interview process, as participants wereasked to recommend colleagues who might also contribute

This distinction is perhaps explained by somestudents’ inexperience with industry teaming structures. However, I believe more is going on.Perhaps, the particulars of the Dramatists’ system is flexible enough so as to encourage effectiveteamwork, whereas hierarchies on

An undergraduate computer sciencemajor was hired at $10 per hour and spent about 25 hours working on developing the program.The hours include the time the student needed to learn the basics of Python.Python was chosen since a student group as part of a class project had recently used thislanguage to create what was called a “deficiency” report. This project allowed for reports onstudents who, for example, failed courses more than the allowed amount, or had a low grade pointaverage for too many semesters in a row, etc. Python is relatively easy to learn, and it is veryreadable so it is easy to maintain the program.

This technology is valuable for teaching complex manufacturing tasks such as assemblyprocedures, design validation, and collaborative production planning. It allows educators toprovide their learners with advanced training environments that mirror the complexities ofmodern manufacturing, preparing them for future industry-specific roles.Therefore, the features of both VR and MR offer significant advantages over AR, particularly formanufacturing training. Both technologies provide a higher level of immersion compared to AR,which has been proven to enhance information retention and skill acquisition [33

And I think that's kind of always a constant thing,getting an effect of more people looking at me or a kid who's never met a Black persongets put in a group with me in an engineering project and doesn't know, like he thinks I'ma different species or something. I have never felt any malicious intent towards me at thisinstitution purely because I am Black, but I have had experiences where I’ve had to dealwith ignorance from my white peers. And I know that it happened just because they havenever met a Black person before. So there's always this feeling that just knowing that theway I've maybe talked to someone in my family, I can't talk to a peer about like acomplex engineering process. I can't necessarily just
