For organizational culture, weutilized the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument [6], which consists of 24 items withfour dimensions – clan, adhocracy, market, and hierarchy. For moral values, we utilized the MoralFoundations Questionnaire [8], which consists of 32 items with five dimensions - care, fairness,loyalty, authority, purity.

? How might students, faculty, and institutions best encourage and support the investments and political willpower necessary for inclusive access?  Assessment in online education is challenging. Will multiple-choice tests that reward only a narrow skill-set prevail? How might assessment choices serve to limit learning or privilege some ways of thinking and knowledge over others? How can assessment of online education be improved to better encourage breadth and depth of learning?  Student engagement, sense of belonging, and social needs are difficult to support through online education. How can these aspects be improved to limit disengagement and attrition that may disproportionately affect

In addition to questions about engineering, anumber of questions assessed perceptions of disability. Interestingly, participants who had morefrequent interactions with people with disabilities were, on average, less likely to feel sorry forthem. In response to the statement “I feel sorry for people with disabilities,” the mean score forparticipants that interacted more than once per week with individuals with disabilities was 2.65(SD=1.07) versus 3.37 (SD=0.88) for participants with interaction less than once per week.When tested with a Mann-Whitney U test, this difference was statistically significant (p = 0.26
