The resultsfrom Likert-scale questions (Table 1) fromthe pre- and post-surveys are shown in Fig.3. In 2019, even though students liked themodule, survey participation was low. Thiscould be attributed to lack of communication regarding the importance of the survey to thestudents.

A survey instrument measured the students’ attitudes toward professionalconnectedness (PC), a sense that engineers should apply their skills to help others, using 19 itemswith a 7-point Likert-type response scale. A key methodological inconsistency in the dataset washow students were allowed to report their race/ethnicity in the demographic question at the endof the survey: 1088 students selected a single race/ethnicity category, while 2305 students couldidentify multiple racial/ethnic categories. The results show that constraining students to select asingle race/ethnicity likely fails to accurately reflect the multiracial identities of many students.For example, the percentage of students who responded to the

With the development of modern technology,universities are changing from face-to-face education to remote web-based learning. However, itis a challenge to bring hands-on labs online due to the complexity of the labs, which includevarious equipment, materials, and resources.

engineering major's significancein other countries.Theoretical-based coursework is one of the contributing factors of large numbers of first-year E/CSleaving the engineering field [10]. Such coursework makes relating concepts taught in class toreal-world scenarios quite difficult and creates a negative feeling of engineering concepts amongE/CS students. Students tend to enjoy their coursework if they can see the benefits in real-worldapplications and the flexibility to solve real-world problems. E/CS curriculum should be updatedaccordingly to reflect technological advancement in the field. Teaching students, especially first-year students, outdated technologies and innovation could discourage students from continuing intheir majors. Students might

Oftentimes though the purpose of learning of a design process, and in particular,the discrete steps and associated values, takes a secondary role to the creation and delivery of afunctional system. There is less time than might be desired for reflection (Turns et.al, 2014),especially within the design process, in seeking feedback and actually doing iterative design.Iterative physical prototyping to learn and refine concepts further (Buxton, 2007) may suffer dueto time constraints.Future Time HorizonStudents’ futures thinking has been explored, though not within the

Other strategies for gender-focused inclusion can revolve around assigning personal reflections for students to helpunderrepresented engineering students feel a stronger sense of belonging [4]. While thesestrategies may prove useful for building inclusive class-based environments, these strategies mayfall flat when students are utilizing technology as part of their instructional practice.Technology is a critical part of instructional design; however, the types and implementation oftechnology can affect the success and motivation of students.
