The observed lack of positive shifts in the Perception of Design courseindicates that the significant positive shifts seen in the Flow Visualization course are only partly explained bythis elective factor.Introduction Efforts to bridge the cultural divide between science and art have gained momentum in recent years.One such effort at the University of Colorado, Boulder, is a course on the physics and art of flow visualization.First offered in 2003, the course brings together engineering majors with students from a range of otherdisciplines; mostly

Our studyfocuses on discrimination by looking at different forms of sexism, gender biases, andmicroaggressions that contribute to the hostile environment described by women in engineeringprograms. Forms of sexism contributing to this chilly climate include overt and covert sexism [5].Overt sexism is experienced less frequently by female students than covert sexism in engineeringeducation

However, while resources have been spent on increasing access for minoritized1students in engineering, these resources have been at odds with the values held in theengineering discipline that result in the continued exclusion of these students (Slaton, 2015;Rohde et al., 2020; Riley, 2017).

The students in bothsubject and control groups were told to assume that they were working for a design company andthat their client has asked them to design a next-generation alarm clock. Both groups of studentsused the modified 6-3-5 method to generate concepts for the next-generation alarm clock, afterinteracting with two standard alarm clocks. The control groups simply interacted with the alarmclocks freely. The subject groups were introduced to a defixating technique called ExtremeExperience Design (EED).

Keshvarz points out that one of severalshortcomings of total online education includes the lack of discipline and inefficient time usage3,which compliments Malesic’s viewpoint on the development of bad habits.

The students were asked to grade their ownassessments using a rubric (the same one used by the grader) and comparing their work to theinstructor’s solution. To motivate accurate assessment, students are granted engagement points forobjectives where their grade matches the instructor’s grade. Thus, the best strategy is to seekalignment with the instructor and not to inflate or deflate their self-measure of success. Thisinformation is fed back to the students through the semester, giving them the opportunity to refinetheir self-assessment strategy. The scores that students have provided are compared to theinstructor’s grade to assess the accuracy of self-assessment. We have found that the
