promotesafer driving.The purpose of this project is to develop a warning system that utilizes data collected fromelectroencephalography (EEG) technology to evaluate user focus. A 16-channel EEG cap with 19Ag/AgCl coated electrodes will record brainwave data for a user performing a set of tasks requiringactive or passive engagement. The EEG signals will be preprocessed using filters to removeartifacts and confounding events from the data. The data will then be analyzed using Fast FourierTransform (FFT) to abstract features of the EEG signals associated with active and passive tasks.After these initial calibrations, an external device will be created to alert the user when they enteror exit a focused state. Lastly, a machine learning algorithm will be
by white men [5]. Given that white males have maintained a position ofdominance in STEM, they can use this privilege and power in addressing the concerns statedabove. In particular, white men can recognize, and act against inequity both in their classes, aswell as overall systemic inequity in STEM departments [4]. However, disruption of privilegecannot occur without continuous reflection on their whiteness, and significant engagement withpeers and students of color [17], [18]. There is a paucity of research reporting on the structuralinequity in STEM fields [5]. The goal of this paper is to explore how collaboration between aBlack and white scholar on an equity-focused research project can inform racial allyship in whitemen within the

learning. The outcomes-based approach requires ashift from a teacher centered pedagogical approach to a student-centered approach. Evenso, this slow adoption of active learning is apparent despite a dramatic increase in ourcapabilities and capacity to leverage instructional technologies, and that as project-baseddesign education has become common in engineering programs. Active learningpedagogies challenge the more traditional teacher-centered pedagogies such as lectures,which are the dominant form of delivery. This slow adoption is apparent notwithstandingthe large body of evidence demonstrating the efficacy of student-centered approaches.This resistance to active learning can also be noted in both engineering educators andengineering students

It is highly imperative for teachers to promote open educational resources and infusegood learning practices. To promote OER, the faculty members need to be aware of the same.Hence sensitization workshop was conducted through online lectures (pre-recorded) anddelivered to more than 7000 learners. To measure the learning outcome, a change project isprovided to study their effective utilization of OER.In this research paper, the observation was made from the questionnaire survey administeredto 1633 faculty members about their awareness and adoption pattern of open educationalresources. The study was carried out in two phases during the month of
course for 43 chemical engineering students. One of theauthors (Visco) was the sole instructor for the course.In this course, students were placed in teams of four (one group had only three students) at thebeginning of the semester using default settings from CATME. [9] These teams sat together inclass (at tables of four) and worked together on course projects, group-specific homeworkproblems and in-class problems. The course had three in-class exams as well as a final exam.Data was collected over the first two exams only due to project time constraints.Data CollectionThe University of Akron Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved the use of questionnairesfor this study. Students were able to opt out of answering any of the questionnaires used

continuing research project focused on engineering graduate student stressand coping mechanisms. The first part of this research project [27] investigated the interactionsbetween various stressors and coping mechanisms from a quantitative perspective. This workbuilds on the previous by utilizing responses to open-ended questions posed in the initial survey,constructed through Qualtrics, which gathered data regarding perceived stress levels, stressors,and coping mechanisms used by engineering graduate students. The survey was distributed to allengineering graduate students at a mid-sized Mid-Atlantic University.The survey collected basic demographic information (engineering discipline, degree program,age, race, ethnicity, gender identity, disability

The course was piloted over four semesters, whichallowed the instructional team to perfect the approaches that were most successful for studentsuccess. The leadership course integrated two primary approaches: 1) a relational model ofleadership used to examine complexities that arise when technology professionals encountermultiple perspectives and diverse ideas; and 2) cooperative learning approaches, includingconstructive academic controversy model, used to develop leadership skills whilecontextualizing the role of ethics in computing. The course culminated in an academiccontroversy exercise where student teams examined the Facebook /Whistleblower

The studyhighlighted that the interdisciplinary assessment project (IAP) offered at KU Leuven, Belgiumhelped students acquire knowledge about practical applications of circular economy andimproved their soft skills to manage circular economy-based goods and services.

However, multiracial as aracial category is often left out of research relating to STEM [8], thus the reason for centeringmultiracial engineering students in this project. Lastly, this paper refers to multiracial identity inthe United States (US) context; however, multiracial identity also is abundant outside of the US.CRT as Foundation for Exploring Multiracial IdentityMultiracial identity has been explored in various social science fields such as Ethnic Studies,Education, Higher Education, Legal Studies, Psychology, and Sociology, particularly by Root,who explored the intersections of multiracial

A smallsampling of those articles is provided in Table Two and it can easily be filled in with morecurrent work.The course was only offered once and with a small enrollment, so it is difficult to provide muchin the way of assessment data or even suggestions for the next course offering as the graduateprogram was closed. One student in the course did take the course paper and expand it into amaster’s thesis topic looking at the role of altruism and its motivations. He conducted qualitativeresearch with interviews and analyses of motivations for alumni giving in higher education andconsidered what of those drives might be significant for future general AI.
