Introduction Reducing electricity demand is commonly seen as one of the most promising solutions tomitigating global climate change [1]. This is for good reason, since electricity productionconstituted 25% of greenhouse gas emissions in 2019, totaling nearly 1,625 million metric tonsof carbon dioxide in the United States [2]. When electricity consumers run consistently, powergeneration plants can run consistently which leads to their highest efficiency and lowest carbonemissions. To explain, baseload power generation plants typically operate

In addition to thewider use of alternative text (alt text) [1], swell paper printing, braille touch pads, sonification,and other technologies, individual instructors have made strides in using 3D printing to makegraphical engineering content more accessible [2]. Other studies have been done to show theeffectiveness of 3D printing in delivering instruction to students with visual impairments [3]-[4].Ready access to 3D printable media for engineering education remains elusive despite 3Dprinting technology becoming widespread, partially due to cost and partially due tocomplications in transforming flat

Underrepresented Entrepreneurs in Interdisciplinary Engineering TechnologyAbstract:In the realm of unaddressed ethnic disparities in the United States, the issue of venture capitalfunding is often overlooked. Despite their significant presence in the population, Hispanic andBlack entrepreneurs receive only a fraction of venture capital investment, which is a starkcontrast to their demographic representation. A staggering 77% of venture capital recipients areWhite, 9% women, and nearly 2% Latino, leaving just a minuscule 1% for African Americanentrepreneurs (remaining were Asians and Middle Easterners), regardless of their gender oreducational qualifications [1].

While the commitment to JEDI inengineering curriculum is clear, the task of embedding this knowledge into engineering courses,many of which traditionally contain highly technical content, may seem overwhelming.To help engineering and computer science programs tackle this issue, an NSF funded five-year,multi-institutional project was run with the purpose of developing activities to embed intechnical curriculums that both promote inclusive engineering identities within undergraduatestudents and highlight the benefits of diversity in professional environments [3], [4], [5].

Such efforts include different teachingand learning tools, approaches and modalities [1 - 11]. Students’ quality and instructor’steaching skills also play a role.
