Additionally, all participants completed targeted online peermentor or mentee training (based on their assigned roles), engaged in a mentoring relationship,and were provided the opportunity to attend STEM webinars featuring UMWs with careers inSTEM. Of the 34 program participants, twenty-two

Topics include generating and solving first orderordinary differential equations (ODEs); generating and solving second order linear ODEs; Eulerintegration of first and higher order ODEs; boundary value problems (BVPs); Fourier series; andintroduction to partial differential equations (PDEs) through the heat equation, wave equation,and Laplace equation.During the semester of this study there were two lecture sections with a combined enrollment of509. The course staff consisted of two instructors, a head teaching assistant (TA), and sevenadditional graduate student TAs. Teaching technology use included: Canvas as the learningmanagement software (LMS), used for posting documents, assignments, and announcements

assessment. Speech quality and intelligibility assessment has become atopic of increasing importance in research literature [4][5][6] due to the rapid development oftelephony systems of various kinds of technology, VoIP being one of the fastest growing. “Audioand speech signal processing”, or similar courses such as “digital speech processing”, “automaticspeech processing”, are widely offered in modern electrical engineering curriculum. However,most of these courses focus on traditional topics, such as speech coding, speech synthesis, andspeech recognition for their course projects [7][8][9]. Few has made speech quality andintelligibility assessment as the focus of a major project, even though this topic is becomingincreasingly important both in
