Compared to socioculturalaspects, the importance of considering learners’ political identity while designing STEM learningactivities has not been well-investigated. One can be a STEM educator, scientist, or engineer andat the same time be a community activist advocating for legislative reforms. He/she may use theirtechnical knowledge and understanding to imagine and design new technologies that resistoppression and empower marginalized groups in society.

Animation basedlectures were introduced by the author to increase student enthusiasm in learning course material in an onlineformat. The animations videos were chosen similar to display models used in face-to-face class.

In fact, a simple search using “open ended example problems” as the search topic on theASEE (American Society for Engineering Education) PEER website reveals 12668 results. Aneffective way to implement such open-ended problems is through either problem – or project –based learning. A similar search, using the “PBL engineering” as the search topic, reveals 1457articles on the ASEE PEER, but only 292 articles when the “engineering technology” is used as asearch topic, such as [7] - [13].

These labs are very inexpensive and complement thePLC equipment presently in most automation labs. The labs will demonstrate the basic conceptsof PID and the concept of loop-in-loop control. These labs are currently under development andwill be shared in their early state complete with PLC program and HMI screen. They areextremely low cost and can be used to augment other labs using feedback control.DC Motor Position

A 16-channel EEG cap with 19Ag/AgCl coated electrodes will record brainwave data for a user performing a set of tasks requiringactive or passive engagement. The EEG signals will be preprocessed using filters to removeartifacts and confounding events from the data. The data will then be analyzed using Fast FourierTransform (FFT) to abstract features of the EEG signals associated with active and passive tasks.After these initial calibrations, an external device will be created to alert the user when they enteror exit a focused state.
