This hindsight led to the development of a questionnaire that could be used in thefuture.1.IntroductionWhetton [1] rightly states that most important professing of a professor, involves histhoughtful choice of reading materials, assignments, activities and most of all learningobjectives. This is even more pronounced when the instructor has to choose few experimentsand a project from a wide variety of mechanical engineering applications. The choice has tobe further developed to meet the learning outcomes called the student outcomes defined byABET [2]. Outcomes are descriptions of the end product of

Ultimately, such changes may correct previously exclusive signals, both subtle andexplicit, that impact student belonging and thus make it more likely that minoritized groups willpersist within STEM [8]–[10].However, less of this critical examination of higher educational practice has focused on thegrading itself and the choice of scoring mechanisms that instructors use to describe theperformance of their students. Generally, the benchmark by which instructors may judge theefficacy of inclusive teaching practice has been an increase in exam scores or final grades.Essentially, an
