Abstract

This proposed special session will include "in their own words", a short video that reflects information gathered in interviews with 24 engineering students and draws on qualitative data to explore themes from transcripts of these student interviews. The video and following analysis of the issues and possible solutions have proved to be powerful learning resources. In addition, two or three students from the new "Case Studies in Inclusive Teaching in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics" will follow. This new resource developed through the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning has received positive reviews in a variety of settings since its debut in May, 2005
