Rather than assuming to employ peripheraltactics that include popular culturally relevant themes (such as music, language, or token symbols),we utilize a deeply committed approach and a pedagogy and research methodology based oncritical race theory in education with the components posited by Solórzano and Yosso (2000): 1)the centrality and intersectionality of race and racism, 2) the challenge to dominant ideology ofcolor-blindness and objectivity, 3) commitment to social justice, 4) value and centrality ofexperiential knowledge, and 5) use of interdisciplinary perspectives.Overview of STEM Career Engagement ApproachesThroughout the last decade, researchers have recommended that career exploration and awarenessbegin before high school

Tounderstand how grading biases propagated throughout the exam questions, each of the professorsre-graded the questions from all three universities at the conclusion of the course after thestudent identifiers were removed. A comparative study was then performed to determine if therewere patterns in the grading results from each professor.Background and Literature ReviewSynthesis Providing feedback on engineering exams is an important phase of the learning processfor both the professor and student [1]. For the student, this leads to grades and a permanentrecord of achievement, which influences their attitude toward the course and even profession [2],[3]. For professors, student

Of the 108,969 bachelor’s degrees inengineering awarded in 2013-2014, 20,031 (18.4%) were awarded to women [4]. Between 2000and 2013, the proportion of science and engineering bachelor’s degrees in all fields awarded towomen remained mostly flat with declines in computer science (10%), mathematics and statistics(5%), physics (3%), and engineering (1%) [5].

Starting in 2002,CISE has organized REU PI meetings to share best practices among PIs to raise the quality ofimplementation across all sites.

In this process, it is important toconsider the background of users such as their culture, gender, education, or socio-economicclass. Many project-based engineering design courses have been developed over the years toexplicitly address user needs.

A 2014 study on faculty workload at Boise State University found that faculty across allranks typically work a total of 60 hours a week, and that 11% of that time, or approximately 6hours a week on average, was spent on grading [8].

Educating students to become engineering writers, however, cannot happen in anyone course.

It is especially difficult for students seeing the material for the firsttime to imagine motion with static illustrations. As was noted in [1], “…dynamics is the study ofmotion, but textbooks and chalkboards, the traditional classroom teaching tools cannot show thatmotion.” Furthermore, those traditional large lecture style teaching methods (i.e. note taking,book problem solving, etc.) typically only passively engage students with the material.Active learning, on the other hand, has been shown to be an effective technique to positivelyaffect the quality of education across a number of STEM
