study examined whether the useof LCDLMs promoted similar levels of engagement for male and female students. As brieflydescribed in the introduction, gender differences still exist in educational outcomes, particularlyin STEM classrooms [6]. To reduce the gender gap in STEM, attention should be given toaddressing the contributory cognitive and motivational factors, primarily maximizing the numberof career options women perceive as attainable and compatible with their abilities and goals.Results of this study show no significant differences between the gender groups, which suggeststhat using LCDLMs is beneficial for females as they are for males. This is good because extantliterature shows gender differences in STEM, suggesting that gender gaps

Survey results suggest that such activities can create a support network,particularly for our first-generation students. A project focused on research has the potential toengage first-year students in research at the beginning of their academic career. Programmablemicrocontrollers such as the Arduino Uno offer a platform for simple research projects that canteach students about the research cycle and prompt interest in further undergraduate research. Inthe future, we will continue to refine this course. The purchased kits have a

A vocal minority of faculty members believestrongly that the purpose of a liberal arts education is “to promote the common good” [16],regardless of whether or not that education leads to career.

implement innovative design ideas. This will ensure long-term success in theirprofessional careers. In the literature, there has been much discussion on how to improve designthinking in courses and increase innovation (Melles et al, 2012; Seidel et al, 2020). Four modes ofpedagogy are identified by Seidel et al (2020): experimental, analytical, disciplinary, andinterdisciplinary. They suggest that all four modes be integrated into teaching to ensure innovation,and the methods described here follow that approach. This paper presents approaches that have been successfully used to promote design innovationin course team projects. These methods have been tested by the author over several years in bothgraduate and undergraduate classes. Figure 1
