baccalaureate engineeringprogram must include “an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences” [1]. Therequirements for accrediting baccalaureate engineering technology programs assert that graduatestudents must have “an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadlydefined technical and non-technical environments” as well as “an ability to function effectively asa member and a leader on technical teams” [1]. Specifically, in aviation programs, according tothe Aviation Accreditation Board International (AABI), both baccalaureate and graduate degreesmust demonstrate that graduates are able to “work effectively on multi-disciplinary and diverseteams” and “communicate effectively, using written and oral

ourstudents when learning from their homes with the present limitations. These activities allowstudents to explore phenomena through “remote” labs (not simulations), project generation usinga supply of pre-existing materials (constraints that any project has at any time), and in particular,the development of projects based in easy to find at home materials.In this paper, the Author will present three strategies to promote STEM education throughremote learning: 1) Laboratory activities for college-level students 2) Hands-on activities forhigh-school students through informal education settings, and 3) Activities for the public at largethrough social media (Facebook liv and YouTube) and sponsored by public institutions. TheAuthor implemented these

female population based on the 2019 census [1]. Engineering and technology havealways had an important role in addressing the needs of society, it is now gaining recognition foraddressing societal problems. This is recognized and enhanced by an increased representation of womenespecially women of color. This change will result in a positive outcome by bringing more diverse waysof thinking and innovation to the classroom as well as companies that employ them.Literature shows that there are many different reasons for lower recruitment and retention rates forwomen in Engineering and Technology which include preconceived notions on the nature of work andgender stereotypes in these fields. Additionally, there is a lack of access to women role models

. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2022 2022 ASEE Illinois-Indiana Section Conference Proceedings | Paper ID 36140IntroductionWhile the United States has in the past been a pioneer in the development of technological marvelsand engineering breakthroughs, in today’s day and age, there is a shortfall of qualifiedprofessionals taking up careers in the Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM)professions. According to the 2009 report from the National Assessment of Educational Progress[1], the proportion of students who are proficient in Science drops from 32% in 4th grade to 21%in 12th grade, leading to a lesser than desired proportion of students planning to pursue STEMmajors in college. This number further dwindles

product.To implement the peer mentorship model applied in this study, junior and senior levelengineering students were hired to serve as peer mentors. They were each assigned 1-2freshman design groups, and expected to meet with these students 3-4 times throughout thesemester. Each peer mentor met in-person with their groups, but this could likely be conductedover video conferencing. For convenience, they were encouraged to meet with their groupsbefore each milestone was due to serve as technical and project management mentors. Peermentors were expected to review project documentation, design process progress, and be aresource for the completion of the project. At the beginning of the semester, a short, 1 hourmeeting was held between peer mentors and
