Teaching Computational Math and Introducing Machine Learning to Electrical Engineering Students at an Emerging Hispanic Serving Institution

Computational math & machine learning are rapidly becoming critical skills for electrical engineers. Teaching these skills can be difficult, especially at an Emerging Hispanic Serving Institution where over half of our engineering students come from underrepresented minority groups in addition to other underrepresented groups. This work in progress reports on successful and unsuccessful strategies and lessons learned since rolling out significant computational math and machine learning changes in the Electrical Engineering program in the Fall 2021 semester.
