Because of this, manyprofessionals must work at home where electricity or internet connectivity issues may be moreprevalent than at their typical office. To address the need for a resilient power source for at-homeoffices, the team developed the atto-grid – a resilient power system that uses distributed powersources to safely and effectively power a typical at-home office load.The team designed the atto-grid for a senior design capstone project that complied withrequirements set by faculty, as well as

Also, candidates may prefer explaining problems with a pencil on thepaper or on a computer using an integrated development environment. Next, they suggested usingproblems actually encountered at the company, since many puzzles are not reflective of real-worldsituations. Such tasks are seen as giving an unfair advantage to candidates just out of school.Finally, they propose problem solving “as colleagues, not as examiners” a recommendation whichhighlights that rather than an intense interrogation the process should be balanced, and shouldinvolve working together to solve issues, and that this could even be accomplished with other“potential teammates.”In addition to the two

in shifting student bias towards inclusion in the three interventions. The mostpromising approach is student-led, where senior students worked to change the student culturedirectly.Introduction and BackgroundImproving diversity in STEM fields is an important goal and has been widely studied. It is well-known that students and professionals in STEM careers in the USA do not reflect the generalpopulation of the country [1]. For example, white men make up 31.6% of the general populationwhile they make up 51% of scientists and engineers. Black men make up 6% of the populationand 3% of the STEM workforce. The percentage of non-white and non-Asian people in the USAis 31.3% while the percentage of this sub-population working in STEM is just 12%. In

Thecountry’s UICs did not develop as rapidly as those of the U.S. and other European countries,possibly due to the lack of funding for small firms with R&D energy [13]-[14]. Since smallfirms usually face resource constraints [15], innovation initiatives constantly monitor theirperformance to provide the necessary support [16].

In the middle years’ courses, students engage in signaturelearning experiences that foster their entrepreneurial mindset and encourage them to integratewhat they are learning with some of their prior extra- and co-curricular experiences.

The stakeholders whobenefit from a self-reflective engineering force will live comfortably and sustainably, so longas engineers are equipped to recognize all the abstract constraints they face in the design oftheir processes and products.Frameworks like Engineering for One Planet help offset the simple unfathomability ofchallenges on time scales incomprehensible to engineers and their stakeholders today.

And why some students who are more confident oftheir intended major at the start of the semester end up changing their intended major. Theprimary question being asked is: What can the 1st-year engineering program do to better aid students in their choice of major?An estimated 40% of entering 1st-year engineering students are uncertain about their choice ofmajor [1].
