. Anticipated future improvements include increasing the number of students in theprogram, expanding the graduate student instructor opportunity to other engineering disciplinesand STEM fields, and reaching out to past participants (both students and instructors) to assesscollege and career outcomes. Overall, these improvements would increase the impact of theprogram and better measure outcomes of students and instructors experienced.REFERENCES[1] Real Academy of Engineering, “Engineering and economic growth: a global view,” Sep. 2016.[2] Aerospace Industries Association et al., “STEM and the American workforce.”[3] V.

He recorded the node voltages; however, he did not write his verificationresults. The only sentence he wrote was, “LED does light up,” which was the main result of thelab activity. Michael’s lab write-up did not demonstrate lab data presentation, analysis, andinterpretation. The fill-in-the-blank format of EE 221 might limit Michael from presenting labdata using an appropriate figure/table, describing lab data analysis results, and interpreting labresults using outside sources.(a) A portion of the result section from a CE 212 lab report sample by Jeffery (pseudonym)(b) A
started to raise reflections about: (a) theobjective of the undergraduate program in which Mathematics is being taught; (b) how tomotivate the student of this undergraduate program to learn Mathematics; (c) how to link thisscience with the future profession of the student; (d) how Mathematics can contribute to theintegral formation of the student and, finally, (e) how this science can support thedevelopment of professional competences [16].In TMCC, the concept of competence is understood as “cognitive mobilization of theattributes of a professional to face a problematic situation by making use of the integration ofall their knowledge, skills, attitudes and values” [17].TMCC has a social nature, since it is concerned with teaching Mathematics for

On theother hand, the interview participants had lower levels of career-fit confidence [7], and socialbelonging confidence. Further, they rated their environment as less toxic (discrimination and unequaltreatment [38]), and they were less likely to be motivated to take an ML/AI course based on thepopularity of the subject.

The surveyquestions are available in Appendix B of this paper.This weekly survey instrument allowed us to regularly monitor the students’ experiences, areasof improvement, and recurring challenges faced. We collected short answer responses to thethree questions listed in Appendix B every week. Our goal was to identify all types ofexperiences that students had encountered in this course.In addition to the weekly survey, we deployed a final survey that asked students different closed-ended and open-ended questions. The types of responses to the closed-ended questions includeda 5-point
