the software allowsfor open-ended design requirements that enable each team to search for feasible solutions thatmeet design guidelines of the American Association of State Highways and TransportationOfficials (AASHTO) or the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). Differentteams may end up with different design solutions. The students understand through a semester -long project that they are the designers and not the software. They also learn that using thesoftware is a process, which is likely to help them when using other highway design software.Senior students who have used the software in their senior design projects have produced highquality design reports and drawings.This paper describes the process of integrating the LDD

IntroductionThe pursuit of educational equity for students living with disabilities (SLWD) has been atransformative journey, marked by a series of legal and policy milestones that reflect an evolvingunderstanding of what equity should look like in learning environments. Initially, the concept ofeducational equity in the United States emerged from the need to provide accessible education toa diverse population amid industrialization and increased immigration [1], [2]. However, thisearly notion of equity often overlooked the needs of marginalized groups, including the poor,SLWD, indigenous peoples, and African Americans. The Civil

Based on our understanding ofthe human brain, this means that individual and group success will require furtherdevelopment of right-brain capabilities while at least maintaining left-brain capabilities;that is, enhancing left-mode thinking by developing more right-mode thinking.Author and artist Betty Edwards11 says this about the U.S. K-12 and beyond educationalsystem: “Most of our educational system has been designed to cultivate the verbal,rational, on-time left hemisphere, while half of the brain of every student is virtuallyneglected.” She elaborates on her statement noting that while we will find a few art, shop,and creative writing K-12 classes, we are unlikely to find courses about imagination,visualization, perception, creativity

Additionally, a rule was established that webcams must be on when students were workingin Zoom breakout rooms.Post-class Mastery ActivitiesA selection of homework problems from the book was assigned after each class for students to workthrough on their own. These assignments served as the weekly “Academically Related Activities”required by the HyFlex model in

Within our current curricular organization, the topic ofmicrocontroller bus interfacing is not covered in the required course in digital systemdesign. ECE 491 introduces this topic, which is essential for designing the USART-to-microcontroller interface. Also introduced in ECE 491 is the entire topic of transmissionlines, including: a circuit model of a lossless line; derivation of the wave equation and itssolution; a line's step and pulse responses; line reflections and termination.

For this paper, we only analyzed responses from the second activity. In the secondactivity, we presented students with a subset of scenarios to respond to through individual writtenresponse, small group written response and discussion, and facilitated large group discussion. Weprompted them to write down how they thought they would respond to the four scenarios theywere given. The scenarios were one sentence scenarios (e.g. “Your first round of tests did not gowell and your usual studying habits are not working”) that fell into one of six categories:academic performance, faculty and staff interactions
