Retired astronaut John B. Herrington [15] conducted research on themotivation and engagement of Native American students in a NASA-sponsored summerSTEM program on the Duck Creek Indian Reservation in the high desert of Idaho andNevada. Commander Herrington found indigenous students were more enthusiastic whenpresented information on traditional tools and techniques used by their ancestors longbefore the introduction of western STEM disciplines [14].A final area of research is studying civic engagement among STEM students who havecompleted history of technology

This course was held inSpring 2020, where students started the course fully in-person and shifted to synchronous virtualinstruction shortly after the mid-semester survey. The course was at the introductory level, and itwas the first major-specific course in the curriculum. The course is typically taken in the springsemester of the second year, so students may know each other and have some experience withcollege level instruction.The other cohort (Cohort B) started the course in Fall 2020 with synchronous virtual instructionwith plans for partial in-person instruction. Cohort B students completed a one-question

The results show thatthe module was effective in (a) teaching students the fundamental principles of diffusion, (b)fostering peer-to-peer teaching and learning, and (c) emphasizing the importance of teamworkand problem-solving across disciplines. The results also indicate that students developed abroader view regarding the applicability of their knowledge beyond their own disciplinaryboundaries. Given its universality, this materials-focused teaching module has the potential toserve as an effective model to foster interdisciplinary teaching and learning between

B. Hybrid/blended format in Fall 2020/Spring 2021: In Fall 2020, new challenges were introduced. Since the students' survey indicated their in-person instruction preferences, the instruction delivery moved to a blended model of zoom lectureand in-person LABs. The major challenge was to meet the 6-feet requirement for social distancingduring the LAB setup. Our LABS are generally equipped with 24 workstations for each student.During Fall 2020 and continuing in Spring 2021, the class was divided into two groups, and
