]. Natural LanguageProcessing (NLP) uses machine learning methods like transformer-based machine learningmodels [7], [8], which can be used through fine-tuning or in-context learning methods. NLP canbe used to train algorithms that can automate the coding of written responses. Only a few studiesfor educational applications have leveraged transformer-based machine learning models, furtherprompting an investigation into its use in STEM education. However, since language analysis ischallenging to automate because of its complexity, NLP has been criticized for increasing thepossibility of perpetuating and amplifying harmful stereotypes and implicit biases [9], [10].This study details preliminary results to plan for using NLP for linguistic justice

The students were from engineering (1biomedical, 1 chemical, and 3 mechanical) and engineering technology majors (1 mechanicalengineering technology and 5 electrical and computer engineering technology). The course isbeing planned to run on a yearly basis.Preliminary FeedbackA mid-semester one-question feedback survey was run asking students what is the mostimportant/valuable thing they have learned in this course so far.

The course started with an introduction to robot basics including sensing, actuation,planning, and control [16]. The course progressed into programming and architectures includingreactive control, deliberative control, and hybrid architectures [17].

She was able tocontribute knowledge directly, and access nursing professionals with more complete knowledge,regarding the use of G-tubes and the appropriate cleaning and storage standards and processes.Originally, the students planned to tackle both the cleaning and drying aspects.

starting to move farther into the DBRwork by planning a round of interviews to check in with those involved.As we engage in these iterations for our local context, we are also looking at how this teaming modelcould be sustainable for others. For example, others would likely have to resolve issues of group size andfinding a time in order to realize this vision. While such contextual features might prevent literalpropagation of the teaming model, a different view is that the current teaming model might inspire newconfigurations in these other contexts, and then such additional configurations could be added to the bodyof work we are starting here.
