individual course topics corresponding to the concept map. The first approachincluded the development of sub-questions on the standard exams, but which: a) assessed a levelof understanding that could be considered as being on the borderline of Application-to-AnalysisBloom’s level [14] mastery of a concept (rather than the full exam question which spannedAnalysis-to-Synthesis boundary); and b) had clear correct or incorrect answers leading to a binaryresult for the sub-question. These sub-questions are referred to as ‘binary questions’ and weredesigned such that they addressed one of the steps required to complete the full exam problem,but focused solely on the concept map topic being assessed.

Will one student be working on character design as two students are creating the game environment, and the other two students are working on the game’s turn-based algorithm? How long will a particular task take — 2 hours or 10 hours? Will the team be working in sprints or in iterations? • 40–45 minutes: Brainstorm other design pieces relevant to each team’s project. For instance, a traditional system might lead to a class diagram of the backend or an entity-relationship diagram of the database. Games projects might lead to discussions about art assets or a state diagram of the gameplay loop. • 45–50 minutes: Look ahead to testing. Teams

Example prototypes are shown in Figure 1.3) Students will learn how technologies transition from the research laboratory to the marketplace. a) b) c)Figure 1: Subset of student project prototypes showing a) colorimetric detection of trace lead indrinking water, b) antennas to tag space junk for detection, and c) colorimetric food
equity-orientedengineering education has been through the creation of DEI-focused CoPs (Castillo-Montoya,Bolitzer. & Sotto-Santiago, 2023; Sanford, Paige, Parker, & Valdes Vasquez, 2023). CoPs, in thespirit of Lave’s theoretical design (1991), bring like-minded faculty together around a centralgoal or problem to address (Wenger-Trayner, E., & Wenger-Trayner, B., 2015). Throughcollectively identified norms and distributed leadership, members of these CoPs work together tolearn and to grow as equity-oriented engineering educators. Central to the success of these effortsare routine gatherings, focused dialogue, deliberate action in the classroom, subsequentreflection, and consideration for future practice. CoPs readily support the

Post semester survey – Students completed a survey with a combination of multiple answer questions (where students could select all that apply) and text responses (see appendix B). While the text responses were reviewed for themes, to develop a more detailed evaluation of assignments for future semesters, this work focuses on the multiple answer questions. Of the 390 students completing the course, 288 responded to the survey.Instructor observations included: ▪ Student engagement in workshop exercises. These exercises worked well enough, that more of the workshop content has been moved to hands on work, that is then reviewed in the workshops. ▪ Student
