This was toclarify the context of data that was presented in the interview—presented values arise frommultiple independent specimens, rather than repeated measurements on a single specimen. Thiswas to ensure the possibility of real variability in the data, without directly naming the concept.Figure 3.

study found that being able to test the use of the robotsin actual homes versus in a laboratory setting gave useful feedback, both in areas that needimprovement and in what ways people really used the robots to assist with their ADL. For those people with lower-limb mobility issues that use power wheelchairs, one issuefacing that needs to be addressed is charging the wheelchairs’ batteries. This activity sometimesrequires manual dexterity that the disabled person does not have. Work has been done to create awireless power transfer pad that a wheelchair could simply be parked on to charge it, rather thanrequiring the wheelchair to be plugged in. This technology would increase the self-reliance ofpowered wheelchair users and make it easier
school students participated in a week-long summer camp thatfocused on electrical and computer engineering (ECE) concepts and practices. The five-daysummer camp consisted of hands-on activities, tours of different laboratories in ECE disciplines,and a group project that spanned the whole week where students built circuits using theSparkFun Inventor’s kit. During the group activity, the students were organized into eightgroups, and each group was mentored by an undergraduate mentor who facilitated thecollaborative hands-on activities. The middle school students completed validated and reliablepre and post-surveys adapted from the Student Attitudes Toward STEM (S-STEM) Survey andthe Group Work Skills Questionnaire Manual.

' access to CSEdmay be unevenly distributed across different types of schools and districts. When students dohave access to courses, there may be disparities in enrollment rates between different studentsubgroups. When students do enroll in CS courses, there still may be inequities in terms of whichstudents feel included and which students ultimately benefit from participating in those courses.The relationships between the four components of CAPE and examples of equity issues toaddress within each component are represented in Figure 1. In our work, we utilized CAPE asour framework for understanding how to measure and address equity in CSEd.Figure 1: CAPE FrameworkThe Expanding Computing Education Pathways Alliance as a Laboratory for DataThe

These choices are often protected by academic freedompolicies [3].In particular, science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medical sciences (STEM)courses may rely heavily on IM, such as textbooks, to augment lecture and laboratory learningactivities and lectures. Textbooks are often content-rich and may have substantial onlineresources to assist learners and support instruction [2].

to guidelines set forth by ABET aswell as an active advisory board composed of alumni and mining industry leaders. Both of theseentities emphasize the need for mining engineers to communicate technical information to a varietyof audiences, including both technically-trained supervisors and subordinates as well as non-technical members of the work force and the general public. Given the number of technical coursesin the curriculum, students have ample opportunities to develop effective communication skillsthrough laboratory reports, design and feasibility projects, and technical presentations. However,creating opportunities to develop communication skills aimed at non-technical audiences has notalways been feasible or achievable.Content &

week for a formal project meeting.Before each weekly meeting, the lead engineer for the week sends out an agenda. The agenda isbased on a standardized template (see Appendix 2) developed by the course coordinator. As a team,the students are held accountable to develop an agenda, run the meeting and complete a writtenrecord (meeting minutes) of what was discussed. This process forces the team to reflect on theirsuccess and struggles for the week while also ensuring that they remain productive and on pace tocomplete the project on time.Field-and place-based Learning: Mandatory Site VisitLearning can take place anywhere, not only in a classroom or laboratory.

racial identity (i.e., visibility ofPOC) was often equated with inability and stereotypes in engineering [40]. Thus, claiming thatcolor-neutral attitudes exist in engineering negates the lived experiences of POC and thehypervisibility they are constantly exposed to in classroom, laboratories, or team activities.Colorblindness, and the idea that attitudes and behaviors in engineering are race-neutral, alsolead to issues of “otherness,” racialization, and cultural dissonance [41], [42], all of which havedetrimental effects on students of color. Moreover, colorblindness institutionalizes racism without asking for accountability whenracist acts occur. For instance, McGee argued that racism in STEM continues to exist becauseracially hostile
