university, and one that is admittedly privileged inmany respects. For example, the respondents indicated few if any issues of economic insecurityor technology access. Nor were the respondents likely to be academically precarious. Thestringent standards for continued enrollment in the engineering program might have put somestudents at risk for being asked to leave the program, but even in those cases, the student wouldtypically not be close to flunking out of college. These conditions of privilege are likely to havehad a significant effect on how these students chose to spend their time, as evinced by emergingstudies of the disproportionate effects of quarantine and other COVID-related conditions onwomen, adult students, LGBTQA+ students, and

IntroductionGiven clear evidence of disparities in educational attainment, much importance has been placedon increasing use of inclusive teaching to help close this so-called achievement gap [1]–[4]. Inscience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines, deliberate inclusive practicemay reduce the “leaving” phenomenon where those underrepresented amongst STEM majorssuch as women and minoritized racial groups would otherwise fail to complete their STEMdegree program [5]–[7]. For example, active learning has been shown to improve learning gainsand reduce failure rates especially among underrepresented minority (URM) students [2].Similarly, current recommendations

signals. Capon, like Delay-and-Sum,depends on array geometry, as well as Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). The Capon method is alsoknown as the Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR). It, however, has the majordrawback of significant signal cancellation due to coherence of multiple signals present at thesensors. The other technique aside from beamforming is subspace-based methods. One of themost popular of these methods is MUSIC. MUSIC has greater resolution than Capon and has theability to find multiple signals present without cancellation2-7.Problem StatementToday, with so much advancement in computer technology resulting in much faster dataprocessing, engineers more often perform primarily simulation work before any actual “pen andpaper

From the testing that was complete, the switching could only be completedover the range of approximately 100 feet. The Xbee pro that was used has a range of 300’ indoors, sowe believe that the limiting factor for the range is the Xstick. This particular component had nodatasheet, as the device is relatively new, so therefore the advertised range cannot be determined. For the software portion, initially the team wanted to be certain that this brand new technology ofXstick would work with the recommended software X-CTU and successfully switch the desiredMOSFETs in the circuit.
