The first survey distribution was the very first dayof the course, before a diagnostic test (which is not part of the final grade). The final survey wasdistributed the last day of the course, right before the final test. Twenty items from a validatedmath anxiety survey, the 30-item Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (MARS 30-item)9, wereselected based on relevance to the context in the Mexican university. The survey was structuredaround math problems that students were likely to encounter in school or daily life, whichstudents then had to rate in terms of

These resources are all very popular and have helped to promotethese aspects of engineering as exciting components of the discipline. Research on programs and inter-ventions that use these tools has shown that they positively impact K-12 students’ achievement scores [1],conceptual learning, and attitudes toward STEM [2, 3]. Science education researchers have also exploredstudents’ ideas about heat and temperature [4] and basic ideas about how water and flow work [5].

Moreover, theprocesses of implementing these new practices, and of transferring reforms between institutions,merit further study.

Therefore, students need to learn how to design for customized andcomplex products for the future applications of the additive manufacturing.

Utilizing a stretch sensing material, the onset of a loop during an endoscopic procedure was accurately determined. The effectiveness of each configuration in detecting the formation of a loop is studied. This loop detecting device was designed in a way that it can be attached to an endoscope without significantly increasing the diameter of the endoscopic tubing. Once a loop is formed, the device will send a warning signal so the doctor who performs the endoscopic procedure can adjust his or her operation to avoid harming the patient.

While single-axis trackers do illustratehow tracking can boost efficiency [1], they offer less educational value compared to dual-axissystems. Dual-axis technology not only delivers a more comprehensive learning experiencebut also encompasses the essential knowledge needed for building simpler trackingimplementations like single-axis. Consequently, mastering a dual-axis setup inherently equipsstudents with the skills to explore new concepts of tracking systems. On the other hand, fixedsolar panel installations are even easier to set up, making them cost-effective and accessible[2].

Rather than treating“underrepresentation” as the result of an inherent deficit in people of color, this project exploresthe ways the invisible and normalized nature of Whiteness in engineering has led to systemicbarriers for students and faculty of color. We find that these barriers are consistently ignored,making it difficult to identify, challenge, and (re)imagine racial equity in engineering. In order tochallenge the hegemonic discourse of Whiteness, engineering faculty must develop the ability tosee and name these invisible forces. Our milestones for achieving this goal include: 1

To addressthis proposition, we use a “multiple perspectives methodology” featuring essays from seveneducators about their experiences of being interviewed about a reflection activity they have donewith students. The educators’ essays suggest that the interviews were experienced as(1) a reflection opportunity, (2) a chance to reflect on the activity that was the focus of theinterview, (3) a chance to reflect on reflection as an educational activity, and (4) a chance tobridge reflection and other points of personal interest.
