thetraining and support necessary to effectively implement these practices in their classrooms. Ourstudy addresses this gap through a pioneering year-long inclusive excellence facultydevelopment program designed to enhance engineering faculty members' understanding andapplication of inclusive and equitable pedagogical approaches.The year-long program consists of two phases. In the first phase, the faculty participate in asynchronous, weekly training during the spring term. The training curriculum integrates acomprehensive array of topics presented by experts. Curriculum topics include critical pedagogy,structural racism in engineering, inclusive teaching practices, and strategies for advocating fordiversity, equity, and inclusion within the current

critical thinking abilities they needto responsibly navigate and contribute to an AI-driven world.1. IntroductionArtificial Intelligence (AI) has become a transformative force across industries, redefining theworkforce and global problem-solving approaches, from healthcare innovations to environmentalsustainability efforts [1], [2]. Just like integrating computer science understanding and skills intothe curriculum has gained momentum in recent years, so is true for AI. Students need to betterunderstand how the technology works and how to use it properly. Despite the need for studentsto understand how AI works, disparities in Kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12) AI educationpersist. This leaves many students unprepared to navigate an AI

The MAE department at the University of Texas Arlington(UTA) offers multiple sections of Engineering Statics each semester with an average passing rate ofaround 70% in the past several years. In spring 2024, UTA Division of Student Success introducedPLTL to this course with a professor from the MAE department serving as the faculty liaison. Themain task of the faculty liaison was to develop the weekly PLTL packages, which typically consist ofa set of problems that the peer leaders (PLs) would guide the students to solve. In

Brightspace, and Moodle throughstandard Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) protocols.There are a number of advantages to integrating MOM into an LMS platform. At our institution,Canvas is used as the LMS. It is a relatively simple procedure to integrate MOM into a Canvascourse and it only has to be done once per semester per course. Once integrated, Canvas exportsthe student list to MOM and can be seen in the MOM gradebook. The integration can be set upso that homework deadlines are set up in Canvas and exported to MOM. One benefit of theintegration is that MOM exports the grades to the Canvas gradebook. Therefore, students andinstructors can see the grades in Canvas. While only the grades are exported to Canvas,instructors can see student answers

But if they learn it through mentors and champions in their role, people that take a liking to them and share the secret handbook with them as they go, right? And so for me, that was dumb.

While the influence of language on educationalexperiences has been the subject of several scholarly papers, no research have looked explicitlyat language use patterns in the field of engineering education or the possible negative effects ofbiased language.In light of this, the present study integrates two conceptual frameworks: implicit bias theory andacademic literacy theory. This approach allows for a detailed investigation into biased languageuse trends within engineering education research, as well as an understanding of how thesetrends diverge from the field’s goals of diversity and inclusion. Implicit bias theory examinesunconscious attitudes and stereotypes that subtly but significantly influence language use

The reform was driven by professional satisfaction, andwillingness to take risks and these factors empowered these teachers to pursue and sustain theefforts of reforms (Balgopal, 2020). However, the extent to which this influence appears varies because of the demographiccharacteristics of study participants and the structure of the education sector in the country. Thereexists a gap in the previously published research studies regarding longitudinal studies to find thelong-term impacts of automation, robots, and coding clubs on deciding careers in STEM fields.(Tran, 2018).
