the“How well have you improved...” self-assessment questions in the survey, the students withdisability responded significantly (p=0.004 for response of “very well improved” and p=0.048for “extremely well improved”) more positively than the majority. Moreover, the group ofstudents who transferred or the group of students who were international, we found these twogroups of non-majority students also gave more positive responses than the majority. We foundthese three student groups shared a commonality: their common areas are the ability tocommunicate and explore from viewpoints of more than one academic field. Lastly, greaterpercentages of students with disability found “Course(s) outside my major” had the most impacton their improvement than
Trans Survey [6]. This landmarkstudy found systemic marginalization across nearly every institution including highereducation. Additionally, the study found poorer health care access and life outcomesfor TGNC people of color and with disabilities. We can reasonably hypothesize thatthese trends extend into engineering undergraduates’ lives. By studying the way thatthose with experiences of invisibility or marginalization navigate engineering we mayuncover fundamental insight into how gender shapes culture and climate.Art: Art Twink (Long Beach, CA) Poem: “Prayer” by xoài phạm (Brooklyn, NY)[6] James, S., Herman, J., Rankin, S., Keisling, M., Mottet, L., and Anafi, M.

that theonline format has advantages over the in-person format (Question 4). This maybe explainedbased on the fact that the vast majority of students had other online course(s) in the past. Inother words, they may have developed a comfort level for such modality especially if they havework or other time commitments on their daily schedules. Still the students did not think thatonline offered more advantages than in-person (Question 5). This might indicate students’preference to in-person format. When asked if they would consider taking more online coursesin the future, even not in the shadow of a pandemic, most students concurred that they would(Question 6).One of the most important or telling questions is Question 7.

Students’ opinion on the duration of the virtual visitsThese last two results show the necessity presented by the students for activities such as thevirtual construction site visits, that not only encourage them to learn and achieve their academicgoals but to be an emotional support in these difficult times.V.

It´s important thatthe students recognize this and the importance of the opportunity of experiencing these activitiesin challenging times. From the previous results we can state

This project was a success and student commented “I made anembedded systems laser tag system for my senior design project. I was able to apply what Ilearned in my engineering courses to achieve my design goals. I was able to combine suchsubjects as digital design, embedded systems, electronic systems, digital signals processing, andphysics. I also honed practical skills like soldering, putting together breadboards andprogramming in C. My professor helped me maintain a disciplined schedule to make sure Istarted early on prototypes so my final design would meet my goals”.This project was funded by NSF S-STEM Scholarship program at
