The integration of research, education, diversity, outreach, andindustrial collaboration positions ERCs to outlast the 10-year funding lifetime, making themchange agents in academic engineering programs, engineering practice, and industry. NSFcurrently supports 14 active ERCs in advanced manufacturing; energy and environment; health;and infrastructure [1].NSF continues to refine the goals and purpose of the ERC program to meet societal and industryneeds. The ERC program’s current goal is to create a culture of technological innovation throughpartnerships with relevant stakeholders through team-based convergent research on critical andcomplex societal problems [3].

research paper is to explore advantages and disadvantages of conducting anengineering experience for blind and low vision (BLV) participants in a virtual/onlineenvironment. This experience was designed to expose BLV high school students to engineeringcontent and enhance their spatial ability. Spatial ability is an intelligence generally defined as theability to generate, retain, retrieve, and transform well-structured visual images [1] and isparticularly important to fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). A varietyof spatial ability constructs have been identified, a few of which include mental rotation, spatialorientation, and spatial visualization [2], [3]. This paper refers to spatial ability as aquantification of

championing change andsustainable solutions, whether as entrepreneurs or intrapreneurs [8]. However, many questionsremain in understanding when and how engineers perceive such societal influences andopportunities.One lens through which to examine societal factors and their linkages to engineering innovationefforts is the PESTEL-framework, which has traditionally been used as a strategic planning toolto analyze political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal opportunities andthreats in business environments. The framework draws from Aguilar’s concept of an ETPS(economic, technical, political, and social) analysis [9], and was expanded to STEPE, and laterPESTEL [10,11].

, collaborative communication led to an increased sense ofrelatedness among different disciplines, which may be useful for effective public researchcommunication about interdisciplinary engineering projects.IntroductionThere is a general understanding that engineering solves problems, but it is often hard tounderstand the direct context or implications of what engineers do without substantialscaffolding. Meanwhile, STEM is a familiar term within contemporary American educationalsystems, but it does not reflect a monolithic domain unto itself, and it is not always clear howengineering relates to science, technology, or math within this framing. While engineering aloneis a rich area of exploration, contextualizing it with other disciplines can highlight
