We wish to expose our students to engineering problems that will help them relate thematerial taught in class with their own major. The primary enabling technology is statisticalprogramming with Python. The case studies are introduced as group assignments and aremotivated in class or discussion sessions. Students select their own groups and in the end of eachcase study, they do a peer-evaluation in order to assess the degree of in-group collaboration. Inthis way, students build valuable

Additionally, those who are consideredunderrepresented ethnic minorities (URMs) in engineering account for 23% of the total U.S. population, but onlycomprise of 6% of the engineering workforce [6]. These discrepancies are compounded when an individualbelongs to multiple minority groups, i.e. only 0.6% of Black and 0.4% of Hispanic women are represented in thescience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce [6].Of the female and URM students who do pursue engineering degrees, many prefer to enroll in certain engineeringmajors more than others.
