A vignette format was chosen because it could beeasily constructed to elicit responses around several different underlying concepts believed to beimportant indicators of an understanding of oppression and privilege.

engineering competencies. Competency-based education (CBE) is an instructional approach that focuses onactionable outcomes rather than traditional knowledge-based outcomes. Competencies arenecessary to effectively perform specific functions and solve contextually-specific problems [4],[5], [6]. Competencies can be described as applying general and occupation-related KSAs tocomplete a task [7]. Specifically, knowledge is the domain-specific knowledge, skills includehigher-order thinking to apply knowledge, and abilities, sometimes conceptualized asdispositions, relate to the attitudes and values of the learner [1]. Additionally, CBE course learning objectives are framed around professional practicesand problem-solving [7]. For

Although students were encouraged to attend,attendance remained very low both semesters.The second year went much better. Instead of PowerPoint presentations, class time was spentwriting notes and working problems on the white board, often with some form of a visual aid orprop. The 6+1 test structure was retained but retakes were offered for each of the 6, 10% tests,resulting in an overall increase in final grade [1]. Instead of pencil and paper homework,homework was completed online using Pearson Mastering.

For more robustestimates, we required that each fold contained at least 5 examples with each label. Values of Lfor which this was violated were excluded from the analysis, leaving only L ≤ 21, which is whywe limited the timing-based features to 21 also. We calculated raw test accuracy (percentage ofcorrectly predicted labels) as well as balanced test accuracy [20], which accounts for the unequalnumber of 0 and 1 labels in the data. We used default hyperparameter settings for the SVC, exceptthat number of training iterations was increased to 20K for cursor-based features and 100K fortiming

Many books have been written on the subject of Probability and Statistics. Mosttextbooks, for example [1], generally jump straight into the mathematics. Other books, thoughusually not textbooks, try to introduce Statistics in a visual way.

project over the past 7years and was used by at least 8 different faculty members.Project DescriptionInitially the project was developed to have students design and build a fully functional small-scale prototype of a renewable energy power plant (producing on the order of 1-100 mW ofelectrical power) for a fictional town. The stated goal was simply to generate as much energy aspossible for as little cost as possible. A platform was built (seen in Figure 1) that contained twolight bulbs that were pointed in different areas to simulate a variable solar intensity, a fan tosimulate wind over the city, and a pump and piping system used to create a waterfall resourcethat could be harnessed. They were given a 1 ft x 1 ft piece of ⅝” thick plywood to
