Whether this takes form as an expansion of recruiting efforts at diverseinstitutions and organizations, more awareness is needed around ensuring content and delivery isculturally relevant and inclusive of racially diverse populations. Future work includes aninvestigation on how unequal domains of power impact the experiences of racially minoritizedpopulations in STEM entrepreneurship.

The instructor plans to introduce Verilogand VHDL coding later in the course after increasing confidence in CAD-based design andcircuit fundamentals. This will ideally allow students to see a greater relationship between theschematic and text-based approach. Finally, the instructor is considering increasing rigor ofcourse material and projects, as more topics can be covered in less time.

That is, we consider youth in their cultural, social,linguistic, and institutional contexts. As youth interact with peers, learning communities, andmore-knowledgeable others to engage in authentic engineering work and discourse, they developdisciplinary knowledge and practices [12–14]. Engaging in engineering design activitiesincluding brainstorming, planning, constructing, testing, analyzing, and iterating affords youthopportunities to develop facility with the types of activity and discourse (speaking, gesturing,writing, representing) that constitute engineering [15, 16].

However, these themes are in mostcases closely related to known stressors in the general workplace stress literature and in studiesof academic culture and postsecondary student stress. To highlight these themes, we brieflyreport these stressors below.Travel-related stressors for international students. International students often spoke of stressorsrelated to being unable to travel to or from home, either due to travel bans or restrictions,difficulty getting flights, visa problems, and/or COVID-19 outbreaks. Both the uncertainty offuture plans and homesickness related to being unable to be in person with family were noted asmajor stressors for many

Due to this neglect, many engineering studentscomplete their engineering courses with the ability to solve complex engineering problems but nodesire to further explore the topics they have learned. In fact, in some cases STEM students leavetheir classes feeling that the topics that they learn about are unrelated to the real world andfrivolous. Because of this emotional response it is becoming common to see students graduatingfrom university with degrees in STEM but no plans to pursue a career in a STEM field[1].Although the Mechanical Engineering curriculum at the University of Colorado has a significantemphasis on design, all the formal design

This is after the instructor presents a briefoverview of the concepts students first learned about by watching the pre-lecture videos. Theoverview is a reminder and a lead to help students use that early knowledge to solve a problem.In phase 2 (problem solving), students arrive to a computationally assisted solution throughcareful reading of the problem, discussion with their teammates and experimentation thatinvolves learning iteratively by erring, reasoning about where they erred and why, and finallycorrecting and arriving to the solution.

The oral examinations maintained the same format, coveringthe same topics with comparable levels of difficulty. In the second class, we added the videoassignments to each weekly homework. All oral exams were conducted over Zoom.The average oral exam scores in the cohort without video assignments (n = 31) was 7.23±1.71and in the cohort with video assignments (n = 24) was 8.79±1.28.
