Ignorance anda lack of education, political orientation, and homophobia further induce a climate of ignoranceand silence about LGBTQ+ topics, terminology, and knowledge, compounding the discomfortfelt by many [32]. The general lack of knowledge to further understand the needs of LGBTQ+students. There seems to still be active homophobia between peers and educators who are ill-prepared to support diverse learner needs. Additionally, a lack of policies exists to informdecision-making [32], considering the unique needs of LGBTQ+ people. It comes as no surprisethat the best practices for creating inclusive engineering classrooms and laboratories forLGBTQ+ STEM practitioners involve increasing understanding, support

to a useful outcome or purpose, orto engaging students in hands-on work such as laboratories. The school officially opened in1878. This original school had a broader mandate than strictly engineering, as it offered twoother diplomas in addition to engineering: Assaying and Mining Geology, and Analytical andApplied Chemistry. The signs of success of the college were seen in the late 1880s, asenrolments increased, and the graduates were finding positions in industry. The ProvincialSchool of Practical Science was formally affiliated with the University of Toronto in the fall of1889.Similar to early research carried out at American engineering schools, the research in theProvincial School of Practical Science initially focused on how things

adopted by each program for selecting andmanaging their projects. Programs that rely to some degree on in-house projects developed byfaculty face the challenge of safely utilizing departmental laboratory and workshop resources forimplementation and testing. The less formal scheduling of these activities requires a differentlevel of planning and coordination to ensure appropriate social distancing and preparation ofthese spaces for safe use. On the other hand, programs that rely heavily on industrial sponsoredprojects must adapt to the changes implemented by each potential sponsor. Restrictions on visitsfor requirements gathering and design reviews, and for fabrication and testing must be observedand incorporated into the project planning.Here we

have also been many studies that explore engineering instructors’ teaching beliefs,and what factors and contexts influence their course decision-making. In a study that involvedten engineering instructors, Huang et al. (2007) found the importance of time as a factor thatinfluences teaching decisions. These instructors used creative ways to address the teachingchallenges, such as considering the students’ needs and being selective in terms of curriculumcontent. A literature review explored instructor decisions to integrate laboratory components intoengineering education, showing that instructor decisions were shaped by factors such asinstitutional context and policies, the role of society, and stakeholders such as students andaccreditation

In our implementation of a flipped class, traditional lectures are replaced with20~40 minute instructional videos that incorporate course content, laboratory demonstrations,and how-to tutorials. Students view and take notes on these materials outside of class, and takean online “Prep Quiz” that provides feedback on their basic understanding before coming toclass.

The focus of this paperis to examine student attitudes and perspectives during their time abroad through an analysis ofblog entries.In Summer 2021, six engineering undergraduates—three women and three men—participated inthe inaugural program session. Over the course of the ten-week program, the students completedblog posts in response to four prompts related to their experiences, observations, and challenges.In this paper, we present a qualitative analysis of the student blogs using a hybrid deductive andinductive thematic analysis approach.
