The previousworking-class neighborhood saw many evictions, leases taken away, and warehouses built wherethe previous residents lived.

Changes in the first two years occur with modifications onlyin courses, such as Introduction to Engineering, Academic Success Skills, Global and SocialIssues in Engineering. These courses help students see a holistic picture of engineering at anearlier stage of their academic career. Although continuous pedagogical improvements have taken place in mathematics andscience courses over the years, many times, the changes occur without much input from facultyin engineering programs. Often, there is a disconnect between faculty in engineering andmathematics/science colleges. Many engineering professors have an

intersecting identities are salient for themselves [28]. Research in highereducation and STEM education shows that the barriers hidden in systemic racism are not in the past but are presenttoday. These barriers are rooted in the history of denying Black men and women access to opportunities in highereducation as faculty [29] and as students in STEM education that were unable to move into professional careers butwere rather limited to the role of technicians [30]. Kendi’s [31] extensive history of racism in the U.S. clearly showsthe centuries long legacy of White men and women not only devaluing and treating Black bodies and minds asinferior, but how the dynamics of systemic racism function to reproduce inequities and exclusions that remainhidden today

The present worth can then be easily converted to a levelizedannual cost if necessary. The basic formulas developed earlier can be applied to the project costsdescribed in the last section. The costs that are included in typical projects consist of acquisition,replacement, maintenance, salvage and operating costs as well as taxes and depreciation.Because these costs can occur yearly over the complete analysis period, the Present Worth isfound by summing the contributions of each cost component over the total project period: Cost Components: Net Annual

Considerations include the following: • What are the aspects of the learning objective that are necessary for students to learn or develop? What skills do you want them to practice, and in which do you want mastery?Secondly, the instructor should decide on the medium in which they would like to craft the gamewithin. Questions
