The IoT house is expected to be centrally located atTexas A&M or other accessible locations and used remotely via the Internet by multiple groupsof 8-12 grade students. The project is scheduled to be completed by December 2018 withcurriculum to be field tested in the Spring 2019 semester.

The survey comprised 105 students from threemajors: Mechanical Engineering (11.4%), Engineering Management (43.8%), and MechanicalEngineering Technology (44.8%). The participant group was evenly divided between undergraduate(49.5%) and graduate (50.5%) students.The survey featured a combination of multiple-choice and Likert-scale questions focused on four mainareas: first, the survey explored usage patterns and engagement with AI tools with questions focus onhow students interact with AI tools, the various applications of these tools in their studies, and theperceived engagement and efficiency benefits; second

Faculty members’ curricular decisions and pedagogy, including theirinteractions with students, can help create more inclusive climates. Research also reveals that thereflection of students in the curriculum helps create a sense of belonging for them and fostersinclusion [11, 12]. Incorporating DEI in classroom teaching needs a good understanding ofstudents’ and instructors’ perceptions of inclusiveness, such as self-assurance, belonging,empathy, student's voice, trust towards student peers and instructors, as well as
