innovative solutions.30,31Experimenting has historically been core to engineering and engineering education, as is evidentby ABET’s learning outcome specifying that students should be able to “design and conductexperiments”.32 As a result, laboratory instruction has long been a staple of engineeringeducation. In Crismond and Adams’ (2012) Informed Design Teaching and Learning matrix, theability to conduct valid experiments was identified as a key design ability.33 From theperspective of engineering students, experimenting has been depicted as supplemental to andreinforcing of the general theory learned from lecture or a textbook.34 Therefore, the connectionbetween experimenting and innovation within engineering seems direct and pervasive.The

There were a variety of topics including turning Ferris wheels,crashing vehicles, quiz scores, and steam in a turbine to name a few. To summarize most of thetopics involved academics, geographic relevance, temperature, the use of kitchen items, vehiclefunctions, mechanical systems, laboratory setups or experimentation, food or beverage items,sports or entertainment, balls and boxes in motion or suspended, manufacturing, and actions ofpeople. Seven questions did not contain cultural context. For most of the questions, the teamcomments and observations were similar or identified the same discrepancies in the accessiblelanguage and other

Some studies have indicated institutional barriers to the success of Black and Latino malestudents in engineering and related fields [7]. Long et al., in studying this topic, analyzedinterviews with nearly 50 Black and Latino collegians to better understand barriers that mightnegatively impact their maximization of their success, identifying inadequate advising; poorquality teaching; limited course offerings; and insufficient financial aid as primary barriers. Thepaper further included recommendations for faculty, staff and administrators who are interested
