During this process, they investigate a holisticrange of factors that contribute to the project’s development and impact (e.g., stakeholders,existing solutions, market opportunity, intellectual property, regulations, and reimbursement).Much of the learning in capstone design courses occurs outside the classroom environmentthrough hands-on and typically on-site experiences, which are forms of active and student-centered learning [3], [4].

This is recognized and enhanced by an increased representation of womenespecially women of color. This change will result in a positive outcome by bringing more diverse waysof thinking and innovation to the classroom as well as companies that employ them.Literature shows that there are many different reasons for lower recruitment and retention rates forwomen in Engineering and Technology which include preconceived notions on the nature of work andgender stereotypes in these fields.

Also, introducing descriptive digital tags intoassessment material is a useful method to effectively organize and analyze both group andindividual student performance information for such visualizations.We added digital tags to create tag-organized assessments for an undergraduate bioengineeringcourse. The assessments prompted students to self-evaluate after each question. When studentswere weekly presented with tag-enhanced OLMs, one visualizing their calibration and other theirrelative performance to class, there was an overall improvement in calibration accuracy movingfrom Exam 1 to Exam 3, both for low and high performers.Keywords: Calibration

For convenience, they were encouraged to meet with their groupsbefore each milestone was due to serve as technical and project management mentors.

The individual pulse-checks asked students: to rate their team on a 1-10 scale foreffectiveness, enjoyment, and equity; to comment on these ratings; and an option to raise a “redflag,” which would prompt an instructor to reach out to that student for a confidential check-in.In the new TA program, three students—who had taken the course the prior year—were eachassigned a set of teams with which to hold regular check-ins.

Likewise, with the proliferation of artifitial intelligence (AI) in all aspect of technological innovations, computer vision, a subset of AI, emerges as a key player. The importance of computer vision in multimedia, robotics, autonomious driving, medicine, and education, to name a few industries, is well established [1].

The use of this systemcan lead to more robust construction and structures and provide a lower-cost and precise solutionthan conventional NDT.

positive, both in terms of student feedback and perceived effect on studentperformance.IntroductionCapstone projects are a common way to culminate an undergraduate engineering education andin fact are required for accreditation. As outlined by ABET (Accrediting Board for Engineeringand Technology) in General Criterion 5: Curriculum, students should have “a culminating majorengineering design experience that 1) incorporates appropriate engineering standards andmultiple constraints, and 2) is based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work”(ABET, 2021). Capstone Projects have many advantages, but they can get off track for a varietyof reasons. This can fuel disparate results, both technically and in terms of students
