Multilingual Board GameIntroductionSerious games are a category of games that are often used in education to provide access tocomplex systems. In past research and curriculum development, engineering teachers haveimplemented curriculum around STEM-focused games [1], such as for urban planning [2],transportation engineering [1], chemistry education [3] and computational thinking [4]. Due tothe increased interactive engagement of games compared to lecture [5], [6], [7], engineeringeducators have utilized games to positively impact students' learning. However, theseeducational games are often only available in English. Students whose first language (L1) is notEnglish may be limited in how they present their ideas to peers in these playful spaces

In comparison, researchers in a field likemedicine with a faster publication cycle have need for current, recently published information,while an older book or paper can remain useful to mathematicians. This phenomenon may in partaccount for why print collections continue to be prioritized for mathematics.Anderson writes, “Mathematicians who use the library can be characterized as very critical yetappreciative of library services, generally dismayed by the inadequacies of online catalogs (duein part to what they perceive as not very friendly interfaces) and very proud of the

Students must use acceptable technical writing templates for their paper and should rely on an adequate number and type of references to ensure a balanced and credible coverage of the subject. In the Fall 2021 course offering, students followed the IEEE conference paper template.

It has been observed that along with fostering creativity, using robotics in thesecourses increases student success [4, 5]. In general, introductory engineering courses haveincorporated robots with a goal to increase problem solving skills [6] and overall programretention [7]. However, robots are often a source of frustration to students.

As such, the labs were re-designed to be completed by individuals. At the end of the semester, we adapted and deployed a survey (based on earlier work byRecktenwald and Hall [2]) to collect students’ feedback and response to the new format of teaching.The main objective of this paper is to summarize the novel teaching setting and provide an overviewof the feedback we received from the students.

Through the1980s, writers such as Audre Lorde and Patricia Hill Collins highlighted the multitude of waysthat intersecting identities gave rise to unique, interlocking, and intersectional forms ofoppression [14], [15]. These writings brought intersectionality to the center of activist thought,challenging the previously single-issue politics of groups such as the civil rights movement, thegay/lesbian liberation movement, and second-wave feminism. Since its roots in activist politics and articulation by Crenshaw, intersectionality has madeits way into a wide array of disciplines. Packaged as a tenet in
