The existence of this review led theauthors of this paper to lessen emphasis on literature that was older than about seven years.Within the past seven years (i.e. after the review documented in [10]), videos were successfullyused during the COVID-19 pandemic. Two examples are [11] and [12]. Therein, implementationof video modules into classrooms has shown students responded favorably and were engaging andcomprehensive as they aided course content understanding. Also, these references showed videoassignments being effectively implemented into laboratories. During this same time frame, [13]showed videos were helpful for peer learning.Based on the

].STEM academic positions often require substantial needs for laboratory space andinstrumentation, along with startup funding that often comes with timeline constraints, all ofwhich can pose particular challenges when disabilities are not considered in the design andimplementation of the workplaces. Furthermore, despite decades of research that has addressedincreasing diversity among STEM faculty, very little work has addressed accessibility and equityfor disabled faculty. Conference participation poses challenges for some faculty with disabilitiesranging from access to spaces, accessible technology, sign language interpreters, extra travelexpenses, and appropriate food [27].

value of writing as a tool for uncovering a student’s misconceptionshas been noted in other disciplines such as the medical field [21]. Unfortunately, grading andproviding feedback to students on their written work is time consuming. This burden on instructortime may be a factor why, beyond common written works such as laboratory reports, courses suchas electric circuit analysis or statics and dynamics are almost exclusively computation based. Theauthors of this paper do not suggest eliminating computation problems in gateway STEM courses,but rather to complement such problems with conceptual writing exercises as such exercises maybe the key to effecting conceptual change particularly in the case of robust misconceptions.The remainder of this

Inthat work, the application of the Foundry to the transformation of the computational teachingapproach for engineering students from a static, antiquated and fixed laboratory to a flexible,mobile model (i.e., MoLE-SI), was illustrated [4].

Energy’s first reportcontained a great deal of anecdotal information, and the results of conversations with individuals,but little data other than the gender composition of the cohort of graduate students and faculty.The department’s second report did contain more actual data, but still skewed toward reliance onanecdotal reporting. Thus, although Energy found the institutions in compliance with the law, thelack of data and the overall content of the reports makes it difficult to determine the bases forthese findings of compliance. It appears that Energy based its findings
