Gait analysis has traditionally relied on laborious and lab-based methods. Data from wearable sensors, such as Inertial Measurement Units (IMU), can be analyzed with machine learning to perform gait in real-world environments. This database provides data thirty participants (fifteen males fifteen females, 23.5 ± 4.2 years, 169.3 21.5 cm, 70.9 13.9 kg) who wore six IMUs while walking nine outdoor surfaces self-selected speed (16.4 seconds per trial). is the first publicly available focused...
As video conferencing (VC) has become increasingly necessary for many aspects of daily life, d/Deaf and hard hearing people, particularly those who communicate via sign language (signers), face distinct accessibility barriers. To better understand the unique requirements participating in VC using a visual-gestural language, such as ASL, to identify practical design considerations signer-inclusive videoconferencing, we conducted 12 interviews four co-design sessions with total eight signers...
This work examines the variability in how different anesthesia providers approach patient care to provide insight into source and necessity of variations practice, implications individual preferences, subsequent consequences on approaches safety that emphasize standardization. Vignette-based interviews were performed with 18 elicit cognitive processes strategies they utilize as progress through a case. A qualitative data analysis transcripts was illuminate their managing Participants...
Abstract Recent scholarship on grading suggests that can be a site of pedagogical innovation (e.g., Feldman, 2018), and ungrading is an example such (Kohn Blum, 2020). According to the Lafayette Center for Teaching Learning, understood as "an umbrella term any assessment decenters action instructor assigning summary grade student work." A full program research around would include how students experience ungrading, way operates in different disciplinary contexts, support DEI goals, kinds...
Abstract Assessing Teachers’ Experiences with STEM and Perceived Barriers to Teaching EngineeringThe next generation science standards (NGSS) call for all K-12 students participate inengineering experiences, which will be a new subject area many schools in the U.S. Teachersreceive training teaching math, but most elementary middle school teachershave not received engineering or technology. As push incorporatingmore into increases, it is important understand teachers’ attitudes about...
The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in courses transitioning to fully remote learning, or considering hybrid models. Such models demonstrated great potential, making an argument for consideration even beyond the pandemic. In this paper, co-instructors of a synchronous design studio course present their experience such and recommendations future courses. Through instructor reflections student surveys/interviews, we successes failures several aspects course, as pre-recorded content, technology...
Abstract Engineering pedagogical content is often highly visual, consisting of formulae and diagrams shown in textbooks taught through lecture slides writing on whiteboards. Such courses dependent visual presents a significant access barrier for students who are blind or low vision (BLV), severely restricts their opportunities to equitably participate be successful class. While methods such as creating image descriptions using tactile graphics have been used classrooms across other...
Abstract As a result of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Hyflex learning (i.e. mix synchronous in-person and virtual attendance) has become more common in schools universities across world. However, popularity is steadily decreasing with an increasing number institutions returning to primarily learning. In this paper, we argue for continuation modes instruction, demonstrating both its effectiveness robustness accommodating variety circumstances that would have otherwise been detrimental...
Traditional and currently-prevalent pedagogies of design perpetuate ableist exclusionary notions what it means to be a designer. In this paper, we trace such historically norms education, highlight modern-day instances from our own experiences as educators in epistemologies. Towards imagining more inclusive sustainable future present three case studies experience redesigning course for blind low-vision (BLV), deaf hard-of-hearing (DHH) students, students with other disabilities. documenting...

This study examined the effects of 4 micro-travel keyboards on forearm muscle activity, typing force, performance, and self-reported discomfort difficulty. A total 20 participants completed tasks commercially available devices with different key switch characteristics (dome, scissors, butterfly) travels (0.55, 1.3, 1.6 mm). The device short-travel (0.55 mm) a dome-type mechanism was associated higher activities (6%-8%, P < .01), force (12%, slower speeds (8%, twice as much (P .05), compared...
Medication errors and error-related scenarios in anesthesia remain an important area of research. Interventions best practice recommendations are often based the work-as-imagined healthcare system, remaining under-used due to a range unforeseen complexities work-as- done. In order design adaptable medication delivery systems, better understanding clinical cognition within context work is needed. Fourteen interviews probing providers’ decision making were performed. The results revealed three...
Pediatric trauma cases involve multiple healthcare workers and a complicated coordination of care. The differing roles changing hospital schedules means that teams are constantly each case may new team. Trust in these dynamic, high stakes environment is important for team performance. A survey on trust, psychological safety, learning behavior was circulated by email to all respond the highest level at large, Midatlantic, 1 pediatric center. Seventy-seven participants responded represented...

Mobile computing devices are often designed with a one-size-fits-all approach, and consumers purchase based off of technical specifications rather than whether the fit them. Female gender is associated higher risks upper extremity repetitive injury, which may be caused by generally smaller anthropometry women (Cote, 2011; Won, Johnson, Punnett, & Dennerlein, 2009). This paper explores two mobile technologies’ effects on forearm muscle activity, performance, self-reported experience...
Mayor Will Wynn announced Friday that he wants a bond election in 2006 so the city can buy open space and make infrastructure improvements.
One anesthesia provider is often responsible for prescribing, formulating, dispensing, administering, and documenting medications in the operating room. Unlike other hospital units, there are few safety interventions. Systems engineering approaches can provide important insights into improving patient during medication delivery processes (Kaplan et al., 2013; Reid 2005). This study observed 20 anesthetic cases OR interviewed 10 providers a large midatlantic academic using Engineering...
