usingindex cards.The exit tickets integrated into Brightspace included an additional true/false prompt: “I attendedand participated in class today.” This served as the sole graded portion of the assignment onBrightspace. These exit tickets were implemented using the Quizzes tool which as of this writingdoes not support a grade by completion option. Quizzes were used as opposed to the BrightspaceSurvey tool so that they could be directly linked to a classwork grade item.2.3 Analysis MethodsThese exit ticket responses provide a rich set of qualitative data. While it is straightforward toscan responses after a class, study of the results is less so. Below, several of the outcomes of theexit tickets are discussed qualitatively.The interesting question

’ the deficit. A more asset-based approach to this intervention mighthave been to ask them why these designs were implemented with potentially dangerousoversights. In this way it would better indicate to students that these design oversights have abasis in human bias or error (whether implicit or explicit), rather than being inherently based onindividuals. An even further step towards an asset-based approach to the intervention would beto ask students to also find products that serve a specific group, or a product that is designed tohave accessibility features. In this way we can bring a focus to the human side of engineeringwhile still covering a technical curriculum. We, like other scholars (Tolbert Smith cited in Bluin 2021), want to

Many faculty, staff, and students hadobserved that the transition to a virtual teaching modality had highlighted for them a number of issuesof accessibility that were either improved or worsened in a virtual classroom setting. Ableism in STEMwas discussed in depth, specifically ways in which community attitudes and norms perpetuate ableismand what elements of curriculum and university infrastructure could be challenged to make STEM spacesmore inclusive.

A first-year compositioncourse is a valuable piece of a well-rounded engineering curriculum. However, the courses oftenend up teaching the writing norms from literary studies and not necessarily the structureengineering students will use in other courses and their career [9]. Adding WID to a curriculumwith a first-year composition course teaches students a wider range of writing norms andstrengthens their ability to write for different audiences [9] [10], and WID is an effective way toincrease student learning of

The NCEES Model Law starts the definition of the Practice of Engineering as “any serviceor creative work” [5]. Despite this, while ABET defines engineering design as “an iterative,creative, decision-making process” [6] and Criterion 5 requires engineering programs to includea culminating engineering design experience in their programs, it has yet to explicitly requiredemonstration of creativity or innovation as a student outcome.

An instructor must try to tie the problems together and show the connection between theories and practical aspects learnt from two or more courses. Approach: Working along these lines we invited one of the GIS instructors on the second day of class to informally discuss DBMS and its relevance to GIS. Prior to this class presentation, the two instructors discussed a number of topics. The database instructor posed to the GIS colleague an almost identical set of questions as those to the local businesses. This enables the DBMS instructor to compare industry expectations with GIS related database concepts in the curriculum. Outcome: We received positive
