[18] conducted a broader systematic literature exploringthe impact of AI and new technologies on inclusive education for underrepresented and minoritystudents at the sociocultural level. The review identifies the advantages of using AI and newtechnologies, such as improving student performance, encouraging student interest in STEM, andenhancing student engagement. It also proposes solutions to address pedagogical, technological,and sociocultural challenges, offering guidance for instructors, practitioners, and policymakers

For example, if technology education, addressing the evolving needs of students in a CNC machining course only learned how students and the demands of modern industry. By to write G-code without ever seeing how the machine immersing students in real world challenges, PBL executes it, their understanding of CNC mechanisms enables them to design, implement, and evaluate solutions while developing critical technical and

The student’s specific feedback andlearning outcomes will be discussed in detail in the subsequent discussion section. The broadersignificance of this work lies in demonstrating the potential of adaptive learning strategies inengineering education, particularly for students with hearing impairments. It highlights thecritical role of inclusivity in technical disciplines and sets a foundation for creating moreaccessible and diverse educational environments.IntroductionAdvancements in educational technology have

- time (FT) faculty and 50 part-time (PT) faculty. In a recent study by Ran and Xu [1], less than one- third of all faculty in four-year colleges were hired in tenure-track positions. Similar to these ratios, in Spring 2023, 33.3% of the gatekeeper course sections were taught by FT faculty and 66.7% were taught by PT faculty. As higher education is increasingly relying on adjunct faculty, it is crucial that the effects are examined in depth. However, challenges pertaining to part-time faculty are complex due to their limited access to professional development, administrative and technology support, office space, accommodations for meeting with students, and low pay, to name a few [2]. Thus, the authors acknowledge that supporting part

Products like Math Quest are intended to bridge thisgap and help the students and staff from underfunded schools.Our ApproachMath Quest was designed with three principles in mind: affordability, engagement, and familiarity in theclassroom. Traditional educational technology often utilizes touchscreens or complex interfaces that canbe both expensive to produce and difficult for young students to understand. By mimicking the familiargame controller design, Math Quest leverages existing mental models that children already possess,reducing the learning curve to use Math Quest significantly. The chosen
