This Work-in-Progress paper willoutline the development and implementation of a Culture of Inclusion (COI) survey instrument thatwas designed to evaluate the inclusivity of ERCs and other large multi-institutional organizationsthat are education focused.The COI survey differs from a wealth of other inclusion-related surveys because of this focus, aswell as its reliance on social psychological constructs

The robots, using limited sensing capabilities, are required to navigatea previously unknown obstacle course. This obstacle course is designed to include pathfollowing, landmark recognition, hitting a target, obstacle detection, obstacle avoidance, and pathreacquisition. Students work in teams of two or three and the teams are evaluated based on theability of that team’s robot to accomplish the assigned tasks of the obstacle course independentof human intervention.

The reasonscould be: all students took Statics in Fall 2018, and some students took Statics in spring 2018 andFall 2017 have not completed Mechanics of Materials yet; some students who took Statics havewithdrawn from engineering programs so they did not take Mechanics of materials.
