Complete methodological detailscan be found in (Figard et al., 2023).Research Design The primary data sources for our study are ten semi-structured interviews with disabledengineering students. These interviews were conducted at a single site by the first author in Fall2022. Interview transcripts were analyzed in two rounds by using thematic analysis with acritical lens.

This questionwas fundamentally different when directed at each group since the engineering students have nochoice but the work on the project next semester, whereas the product design students wouldneed to take an additional independent study course to work on the project in the comingsemester as it is not part of their curriculum. So, the biomedical engineering students wereanswering the question of whether they would be better off with their product design studentcontinuing to help them or not, which was overall an 85% yes, and the product design studentswere answering the question of whether they would continue to work on an optional project ornot, which was 50

The rationale is that teachers will bring the knowl-edge and skills they acquired back into their science and mathematics classes and curriculum. Our overall goalwas to equip teachers with an awareness of the importance and use of AI/ML to solve practical problems ofsocietal values. Thus, they can be positioned to motivate their students about the importance of AI.

Inclusive environments are environments where anindividual believes that those around them respect and value their background and training becauseit provides a unique and creative perspective that leads to better solutions. Research experienceswith well-defined projects and high-quality research experiences are also key to maintainingstudent interest and persistence towards research as a career [11].

that it is worthwhile to use this concept in his classroom and to test itsadvantages. The course of choice for this study was ET 3610, Introduction to Electricity andElectronics. The reasons for choosing this course are:• The course is intended for “non-major” students who generally find the course very challenging and any tool to aid students during their learning experience is usually welcomed by both students and faculty.• These students come from a wide range of cross-disciplinary majors including many non- science majors such as the Recording Industry. The cross-disciplinary nature of students will add another dimension to the study and will give a better picture on how students will perceive the new concept.• Since

Work by Crawford et al. denotes students also face constraints inparticipating in leisurely activities. Their work poses that students’ choice of leisurely activitymay be influenced by interpersonal (e.g., not finding partners), intrapersonal (e.g., work tensionor unskilled), and structural (e.g., excessive cost, lack of availability) factors [34].

Engineering, Villanova University, Villanova, PA, USA * Corresponding author: zuyi.huang@villanova.eduAbstract: As an engineering technical software, MATLAB has become an immensely populartool in both academia and industry. It is widely used as a software supplement to many coursesin the College of Engineering at Villanova University. On the other hand, instructors of differentcourses have to spend time introducing MATLAB repeatedly. And instructors are usually left to avery fragmental teaching of MATLAB tools needed for a specific project in a course. Moreover,being focused on the fundamentals of the course, the instructors usually do not have much time toexplain the details of MATLAB. This leaves students frustrated and unaware where to seek
