Educate Yourself - Before attempting to analyze and transform our curricula, we shouldeducate ourselves first on gender equity and multicultural issues. Educating ourselves requireskeeping an open mind and giving ourselves the time to learn and examine the relevant issues. We Page 2.56.1can educate ourselves by attending institutes and seminars offered nowadays at most universitiesand at conferences such as ASEE, acquiring and reading the literature from journals such asASEE Prism and the Journal of Engineering Education

Consequently, the search string was modified by adding peer review, literaturereview, and systematic review terms.The query string was then executed to perform the search procedure using scientificdatabases, including Scopus, ERIC, and Engineering Village. The motive for using suchdatabases was because the topic of this study had an intersection between the education andcomputer engineering areas. According to Zakharov [15], Scopus offers peer-reviewedresearch literature that supports research needs in various disciplines. ERIC indexes articlesin the education area. In addition, Engineering Village provides access to COMPENDEX andINSPEC, which offer a considerable amount of literature in engineering and informationtechnology (IT

In addition, we created an inclusive learning environment by learning students’ names,providing active learning opportunities, incorporating technology, and creating environmentswhere students feel comfortable voicing questions and concerns.Communicating with students: There are multiple dimensions to this sub-theme

IntroductionEmotion plays an important role in communications, conveying essential information beyondwords. This is particularly evident in enhancing Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and SpeechEmotion Recognition (SER). The latter is a specialized area within Automatic SpeechRecognition (ASR) and focuses on identifying human emotions, which is crucial to advancingHCI. Recognizing emotions in speech, such as anger or joy, allows AI systems to interpret andrespond more effectively to human expressions.Emotion recognition technology can be integrated into engineering

As might be expected, the students performing the best on the in-class testsconsistently completed their assignments within a few days while the other students usually tookmore than a week.
