the most recent executionin fall 2019, a preliminary study was conducted via student surveys to determine if studentsconsidered the module a valuable addition to the course. These preliminary findings aimed at notonly determining if the module should be continued in the future, but also at evaluating if themodule resulted in: (1) increased student engagement and interest in thermal fluids, (2) increasedlearning effectiveness compared to traditional teaching methods, and (3) increased understandingof how topics within thermal fluids are connected. Exam scores between course sections thatcompleted the module and those that did not were also compared to provide quantitative dataregarding increased learning effectiveness. Preliminary findings

early 2000s.At the University of Rochester, the number of women and students from historicallymarginalized populations has increased from 2010 through 2019 in the incoming first-yearundergraduate population. However, studies in higher education have shown that despiteequivalent preparation and test scores (GPA, AP, IB, SAT, and ACT) from pre-college studybetween first-year undergraduate men and women, twice as many men are likely to receive A’sin their STEM subjects as women [5-7]. Men are twice as likely as women to repeat classes theyhave failed [5], while women show a loss in the self-confidence possesed as they enter collegethat results in lower class participation, lower performance, and lower grades—as early as theirfirst year at college
