with the title, “Technology Innovation: Engineering, Economics, PublicRelations.” The class was composed of twenty-one students, where twelve students were majoring inengineering disciplines, seven students in strategic communications, and two in economics. Forcomparison purposes, the research team selected two traditional civil engineering courses, where thehypothesis was that the engineering students of HEPE course would gather higher levels of learning onnon-technical professional skills compared to traditional groups of engineering students.Comparisons between the HEPE and traditional groups were investigated by applying a Cross-Disciplinary Team Learning (CDTL) framework. The CDTL framework was developed by Lei [2], whichhas three
[1], [2]. Among students who initiallyentered science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, research found that 48percent of students had left within the six-year period of study [3]. To remain competitive in theglobal economy, the US must meet the increasing demand of STEM jobs [4]. The majority ofSTEM jobs are filled by white males and if minoritized populations were represented similarlywith regards to initial interest, the shortage of STEM talent supply would be satiated [5]. Within engineering, this gap furthers economic inequality and hinders our ability to meetindustry demand for diverse engineering talent [6]. Student retention researchers suggested weexamine teaching methods, financial supports, and

At the end of the semester, each student team prepared a written designexperience report and presented its findings in a group presentation.The students in the chemical and natural gas engineering section of the GEEN 1201 indicatedthat they enjoyed working through the design challenge, and that the hands-on testing of variousprocess ideas was seminally helpful in understanding the variabilities inherent in performancetesting based on chemical properties. The students also displayed a high level of teamwork, asless than 10% of the students demonstrated issues or problems with contributing to the share

Although there has beena significant push for entrepreneurship and innovation, there is still a lack of representation ofracially minoritized populations (i.e., African Americans or Black people, Hispanics/Latinx, andNative Americans/Alaskan Natives) in entrepreneurship, innovation, and science technology,engineering, and math (STEM) fields. In 2012, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)Office of Advocacy found that racially minoritized business owners accounted for only 22.9% ofall U.S. business owners. This representation is even lower within STEM entrepreneurship (i.e.,individuals in STEM disciplines who practice entrepreneurship or innovation as business ownersor by starting a new venture
