The work of Cech [10] examines the role of cul-ture in student engagement and retention, in particular, the culture of disengagement in engineer-ing and how that culture influences students.

Quantifying Belonging We strive to use equity-minded sense making of our data.

In this course, two activities weredesigned to demonstrate the capabilities and limitations of AI tools. First, students were taskedwith recreating an HTML page using AI after first creating their own designs from scratch. Theexercise highlighted how AI can generate functional web pages but lacks the creativity andimagination required for unique designs. This often resulted in simpler, less visually appealingpages or required significant effort in writing detailed prompts to generate acceptable results.

Grading In Introductory Physics Laboratory CoursesAbstract Introductory physics laboratory courses are often among the first few laboratory coursesthat all students in engineering discipline take. The learning objectives of introductory physicslab courses, such as understanding experimental error and measurement uncertainty, are thefoundation to the more sophisticated laboratory oriented courses in the junior and senior levelengineering curriculum. However, as nearly all physics lab instructors can attest, many studentsfail to master certain lab skills that are related to understanding experimental error andmeasurement uncertainty, such as error analysis, linear regression, and reporting measurementsresults with appropriate uncertainty

The non-sequential linkage concept among the variables in a diagram isstraightforward, while the multiple linkages across the paragraphs in an essay are less obvious,especially to community college pre-engineering students studying kinematics. A pedagogy hasbeen developed to emphasize the multi-linkages in liberal arts writing as it relates to kinematicsthinking so as to improve physics lab report writing. The first- score and post- score uponreceiving writing improvement recommendations have been used to assess the pedagogyeffectiveness in terms of correlation and relative gain. The assessment result suggests that themodeling of liberal arts writing in the context of diagrammatic kinematics thinking would helpstudents to improve on their
