inclusivepractices in STEM classrooms. We were generally impressed with the range in the categories ofresponses that we received from students, which demonstrates that students in engineering areconsidering many facets of inequity in design. As Odumosu et al. (2018) saw, having students beactive knowledge producers in the classroom was a useful pedagogical tool. A major takeaway from the project was that while our intentions were to work within anasset-based model, what we were asking students to do was inherently focused on deficits. Whenwe asked students to find a product design that they would deem a failure, we elicited responsesin which students would look for deficits in engineering designs, and then subsequently askedthem how they would ‘fix

Stigmas are usually identifiable by twomain components, the recognition of difference and devaluation (Pryor & Reeder., 2013). Pryorand Reeder (2013) go on to further explain the purpose of stigmas with one of the key functionsbeing exploitation and domination. Where they describe how stigmas are used by those in powerto maintain the inequality between those with less so they will stigmatize them. Now in mostcases when one

Educational animations provide one suchplatform to explain, present, and scaffold learning as “chunks” of new material to learn [4, 5].Animations have been recognized as a promising tool to bring visual and textual informationtogether to present instructional material [6]. On one hand, computer-generated animations usedfor online gaming, films, cartoons, and broadcast media have emerged primarily forentertainment. On the other hand, educational animation create projections of phenomena forlearning [7]. While some early research in animation instruction failed to provide positiveevidence for their use [8, 9], further research applying cognitive load theory to educationalanimations resulted in positive learning gains with

In particular, if students work in group projects as part of their coursework, theyare highly likely to interact with those students for group work, and also on other academicmatters.Lack of interaction with campus events, student support, and advisorsOne of the major investments that many universities are currently making is in support staff andstructures for students. These include student support services, advising support, and evencoaching. Findings from our study show that NTSE students rarely use these services and theavailability of these services, especially if they are on campus, are not necessarily beneficial tothis student population.Negative outcomes with faculty membersIn terms of the quality of interactions

persistence. It is possible that students’ interest dropped because they learned moreabout engineering and were no longer interested, but it is also possible that the lower interest wasa result due to their underachievement. Other parts of the SEVT framework also help to identifylikelihood of persistence. One interesting factor to consider in future research is the perceivedcosts of engineering school. It is possible that a different intervention timeline be used for studentswho receive a C in math, that could occur in the second semester.

Therefore, we chose a web-based platform toensure our final solution could reach a broader number of users.
