)IntroductionThe diversity of the U.S. population is changing with predictions indicating that by 2050 therewill be no “majority race.” Already, Latino and Black communities make up 30% of thecountry’s population [1]. However, this current level of diversity is not reflected in the STEMfields. In engineering, there has only been a small increase in Hispanic graduates from 8.5% in2011 to 11.9% in 2019 and almost no increase in Black graduates (4.2% to 4.3%). Over 50% ofthe engineering graduates nationwide continue to be White [2]. Increasing diversity in STEM isrequired to solve important problems faced by society through a wider array of solutions [3].Unfortunately, Black, Latino, and Indigenous youth often close the door to STEM careers earlyin their

between teams. This work is incredibly important for thecompany, but doesn’t count much toward individual career progress. According to productivity logics, this is actually how it is supposed to work. Media studiesscholar Melissa Gregg [1], in her analysis of self-help literature, points out that people seekingcareer success are encouraged to identify the types of work that are most important and eliminatenon-essential tasks or delegate them to others. The small team leader is doing what he knows isnecessary for his own career progress. The central tension in this story, however, arrives whenwe consider those to whom the non-essential tasks are delegated, the ability of those individualsto resist or otherwise exercise agency in response, and

assignments with lower stakes were duethroughout the week: a reading/lecture quiz, a survey to submit questions, and a shortenedhomework assignment. Finally, we changed some content near the end of the course to allowstudents to connect the course to their own career aspirations, which we expect can aid in long-term retention. Specifically, students chose among several possible topics to cover in the finalweeks, covered via typical pre-recorded lectures and reading, and also guest lectures. They wrotean abstract-length reflection on how they could use what they learned in this course later in theircareers. Overall, students remained engaged with the course throughout the semester andprovided favorable comments and evaluations of the course, including

Industry professionals suggested and inputsfrom the board were successfully incorporated.A study by Stelyn (2019) suggested the perception of students played an important role in thestructure for the new course providing a learning experience.

autistic adults often have difficulty joining or remaining in theSTEM workforce [5]. With the goal of creating maker programming to enable autistic youth toengage in the EDP with peers and to prepare autistic youth for future careers, a multidisciplinaryteam created the Inventing, Designing, and Engineering for All Students (IDEAS) MakerProgram. IDEAS brings together experts in maker education, autism inclusion, engineering,co-design, and research to bring interest-driven maker clubs into autism-inclusion public schoolsin New York City. The following paper describes the ways in which IDEAS supports autisticlearners in both in-person and online formats, and how IDEAS teachers responded to adversityby redesigning the curriculum for remote learning

that pairing experienced with new instructors can provide successful mentoring and growthopportunities for both professionals [11],[16],[17].Meanwhile, a non-appreciated tradition in engineering academia is assigning teaching duties to a recentgraduate without any teaching experience. Studies have already shown that graduate students can besuccessful in a co-teaching role, plus they benefit from mentored experience towards a career in academia[8],[17]. As co-teachers, graduate students can potentially relate closer to the students in that classroomgiven how recently they endured through a similar learning experience for those topics.

Internships provide opportunities for professional development (such as the improvement oftechnical and communication skills) as well as a look into what a career in engineering entails[8], [9], [10]. Literature has also established the positive influence of quality mentorship onstudents and how these relationships can help retain students in their respective fields [11], [12].It has also been found that internships can impact the persistence of underrepresented groups inengineering [13], [14].

students areforced to identify the appropriate stakeholders, interview these stakeholders, and analyze theproblem from the stakeholders’ points of view. Another approach was taken by Korach andGargac [8] where they re-vamped first-year curriculum by incorporating active learning exercisesinto the existing curriculum. Korach and Gargac [8] found that both instructors and studentsbenefited from the addition of entrepreneurial mindset activities. Instructors found the activitiesbetter engaged students in the course and generated excitement around the engineering field whilethe students developed beneficial skills for a successful career. There is no one size-fits allapproach to re-vamping and incorporating innovative thinking into curricula, but the
