critical step in understanding the results and basis of genderinequities that may otherwise be lost in datasets [2]. This is particularly true for students withnonbinary or transgender identities who are often understudied or overlooked entirely [3], [4]. In thispaper, we present an analysis of gender reporting practices in papers published in the proceedings ofthe American Society for Engineering Education Gulf-Southwest (ASEE GSW) conference to assessour community’s progress toward transparent reporting. MethodsWe downloaded papers from the ASEE PEER website (https://peer.asee.org) from the 2019, 2020,and 2021 ASEE Gulf-Southwest Annual Conference collections.

directly related to student motivation. Students heavily preferredand favored the two hands-on learning assignments. It is concluded that instructors should moveforward with the reimagining of the chemical engineering introductory course by including moreexperiential learning opportunities that reinforce key learning concepts and moving away from theclassic passive learning structure. In the future, the course instructors should seek more opportunitiesto engage with students in the introductory course. This action should lead to achieving DFW ratesseen before Fall 2019.

Themajor difference between GD and the other engineering tools, such as Finite Element Analysis(FEA), is that GD optimizes the shape of the design solution based on the manufacturing processselected by the design engineer. So, the design and shape solution recommended by GD for five-axismachining will be different from a solution developed for the casting process.

When many people gather withinan enclosed space, it will naturally raise the levels of CO2 within the room. In the past, this wouldn’thave been much of a concern. However, the conditions of a room have a lot to do with how easilyillness is transmitted via droplets from our breath.
