These exercises include: 1) opening the focus group by having studentstalk about their challenges; 2) transitioning to an index card activity where students write good andbad things they have experienced in their context; 3) shifting the conversation from challenges tohow

context of engineering design, this is a powerful combination. The mindsets andprocesses central to reflection align with those of design, namely, to identify problems, ideatesolutions, develop prototypes, test alternatives, and evaluate outcomes with a mind toward futureimprovements and opportunities. Just as design work is done by teams, reflection best happenswhen situated in community conversations where learning and the growth of all is valued [13].As students engage in community-centered reflection, they practice the skills necessary tobecome lifelong learners and engineers who can create impactful designs that serve society’sneeds [12], [14].In this work, we describe plans to extend our current pilot study [15] to include a set of

For case study, the surveyed literature was used to assessknowledge and understanding, perception, and social communication [12, 23].Implication of the study The scoping review shows that most online lab studies focus on the use of online labs tofacilitate knowledge and understanding. This limits our understanding of how engineering labscan be used to facilitate many of the learning outcomes outlined in Brinson’s framework oflearning outcomes. Future studies may explore how online labs can be used to promote otherlearning outcomes that the KIPPAS suggests. Also, future studies could conduct the reliabilityof the identified assessment tools and other assessment tools such as model design andconstruction, mind and

Instead, theinterventions in this project attempt to change the culture such that it respects and valuesdiversity in all of its forms.Leveraging diversity as a tool for confronting complex and persistent societal problems willtherefore require engineering and computer science educators to be attentive to priming allstudents to work on diverse teams and be committed to addressing matters of equity within theirrespective fields.

to field trips and interacting with fellow students and mentors. While they acknowledge that they’ve learned a lot from participating in the research project, they believe that future projects have opportunities to contribute more to an increased understanding of HPC and engineering. All projects are computational in nature, and some of our students are not comfortable with the amounts of mathematical, engineering or programming background required. Challenges like this take away time for practicing HPC skills. Above all, since the duration of this REU site is only a short 10 weeks, so mentors and site directors must be mindful of what can be reasonably accomplished during the 10 weeks and set the

Some found that it isdifficult to have discussions over Zoom, citing body language as a barrier that remote meetingshave difficulty overcoming. Techniques that were particularly useful for these participants wereintroducing DEI topics in direct relation to the engineering discipline and design considerations,along with integrating important historically diverse engineers related to national heritagemonths throughout the year, e.g., Black History Month or Hispanic Heritage Month.
