A DC motor control system can support many experiments, and therefore is explored and used in this experiment setup [4]. The complete experimental hardware setup is shown in Figure 1. The NI myDAQ connects to the PC equipped with LabVIEW software via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable and to the myDevBoard prototype board via the 20-position screw terminal connector [1]. The designated analog and/or digital physical channels of the myDAQ are wired to the motor interface and driver circuit which is hand-wired on the myDevBoard prototype board.

Individuals in the majority (white staff, faculty, and students) often view these spaces as well integratedor neutral, yet REM people (faculty and students of color) and women approach these spaces with cautionas they often experience discrimination or isolation.

Within the educational model, twokinds of competences are defined: Disciplinary and Transversal. Disciplinary competences referto the specific skills, knowledge and abilities in a particular field of study; while transversalcompetences are skills and knowledge that apply to multiple contents, that is, they are not linkedto a particular field of study, which allow, in general, a personal and professional development ofstudents.

EducationIntroductionTraditionally, Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) have welcomed a homogenous body ofstudents with similar socio-economic, academic, and racial/ethnic backgrounds. Institutionalpolicies have prevented access and full participation of minoritized students leading to lowerretention and graduation. This has spillover effects into the workforce where there is animbalance in the representation of minority groups. As shown in a recent report from the PewResearch Center, Blacks and Hispanics make 27% of all employees but only 17% of the STEMworkforce [1].Despite this history, for the past few decades universities and colleges have seen an increase instudents coming from historically marginalized communities including Black students [2], [3], [4].

In coursesthat utilize ungrading, students are required to develop a portfolio of writing intensive or othertypes of projects in lieu of traditional assignments [2].

The three SCCs located perpendicular toeach other detect angular acceleration with respect to the three axes. For example, the lateral SCC,located horizontally, detects angular rotations of the head turning left or right. The posterior andanterior SCC’s detect left and right head tilts and head movements up and down respectively.
