The five-week program consisted of teachers conducting team-based research,weekly meetings with graduate student mentors, reviewing journal articles, attendingprofessional development meetings, and building scientific written and verbal communicationskills. The weekly themes were 1) Orientation, Literature Review and Introduction to Python, 2)Introduction to OpenCV and Basics of Computer Vision, 3) Introduction to Machine Learning,4) Implement the Monitoring, and 5) Analyzing Data, Developing Lessons and ResearchPresentations (see Table 2 for detailed program agenda).Table 2.

The effectiveness of activelearning strategies compared to the traditional lecture approach, when implemented well, has beenempirically validated and documented in engineering education literature. The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to explore engineering faculty’s use of active learning strategies in their teaching in aMidwestern university’s college of engineering context. Data sources included a survey about the facultyknowledge and use of active learning strategies and follow-up semi-structured interviews that aimed togather an in-depth understanding of their implementation of active learning

The project s research questions are: 1. What does marginalization look like within engineering classrooms where teamwork is a primary feature? 2. How is marginalization legible (or not) to instructors at the classroom level? 3. What are the different ways that instructors respond to incidents of peer-to-peer marginalization? 4.

Involving RET’sPrior to the inception of the NSF RET program, the first large scale evaluation of teacherresearch experience programs was initiated as The SWEPT Study [11]. Findings from this studyof eight SWEPT sites showed that participating teachers experienced a gain in science contentknowledge, positive attitudes towards science and interest in engaging in inquiry-basedinstructional practices. Following the SWEPT study, other significant evaluations indicated thatteachers engaged in literature searches and reading about concepts related to the research in theirlaboratory, performed a variety of procedures, experienced and overcame frustration, appliedlogic and creative insight to analyzing their data, presented their research to peers

of bias,increase a sense of agency, and ultimately empower students.1. 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
