Computer Applications) and afollow-on course, ME 106 Fundamentals of Mechatronics, from C to Python. Both courses makeextensive use of a microcontroller to teach the fundamentals in both subjects, and heretoforehave used the C language and the Arduino platform, but now both courses have moved to Pythonand to the Adafruit Feather M4 Express board, which can run Python natively on its associatedmicrocontroller. Prior to the transition to Python, ME 30 had a relatively high failure ratebetween about 10 - 35%. Since transitioning to Python, the failure rate dropped dramatically toabout 3% in the fall of 2019. The paper will outline the previous structure of the courses, explainthe motivation for transitioning from C to Python, and discuss the pros and

Written justifications better prepare students for discussions with peers and in thewhole class and can also improve students’ answer choices (Koretsky et al., 2016a, 2016b). Inaddition to their use as a tool to foster learning, written explanations can also provide valuableinformation to concurrently assess that learning (Koretsky and Magana, 2019). However, inpractice, there has been limited deployment of written

show that BIPOC students had an immediate increase in their withdraw rates during COVID, depicted in Figure 1, while White students had a decrease in their withdraw rates, depicted in Figure 2. This trend is particularly alarming because historically before COVID, BIPOC withdraw rates were lower than White students withdraw rates. However, during COVID, BIPOC students withdraw rates were higher than White students. Further investigation revealed that when comparing withdrawn students by race, student classification, and residential status pre-COVID (Spring 2017-Fall 2019) and during COVID (Spring 2020-Spring 2022), BIPOC Sophomores and BIPOC residential student populations saw large proportional increases in total number of withdrawn
