Cultural identities relate to characteristics and knowledgeof a particular group of people, which encompasses language, religion, cuisine, social habits,music, among others [9]. In the era of globalization and diversity, engineering professionals areincreasingly grappling with communication styles due to generational and interculturaldifferences, biases in the workforce, and conflicts due to overlapping

Students always ask for more examples toillustrate the concepts presented in the classroom lectures. Whether their motivation for moreexamples is to just learn the mechanics of the problems without really understanding theprinciples involved or that the examples do reinforce their understanding of those principles, thefact remains, at least for these authors, that there is a need to illustrate numerical examples in theclassroom.Organization of effortAt our university, the College of

The primary objective of the course is to reinforce key fluid mechanics concepts throughpractical and engaging applications. Secondary objectives include emphasizing uncertaintyquantification (both in measured and calculated quantities), and providing students experience indata analysis and experimental design (aligned with ABET Student Outcome #6), and technicalwriting.The paper outlines the evolution of the course over five iterations in a four-year span. Due to thesmall size of the program, the class was developed in a budget-conscious manner. In the most

Thesemarginalizing experiences are characterized by alienating program environments rife withgendered-racism, invisibility, isolation, and the frequent need to prove one’s legitimacy in STEM(Alexander & Hermann, 2016; Bryson & Kowalske, 2022; Johnson, 2011; Wilkins-Yel et al.,2019).
