The Urban STEM project wasdesigned to address challenges faced at the three urban institutions collaborating for the project,and in particular the need for many of the engineering students to work a significant number ofhours each week, resulting in them taking fewer course hours each semester and beingdisconnected from their peers, faculty, and campus. These factors are especially concerning forstudents who are underrepresented in engineering majors, as they already leave engineeringmajors and careers at higher rates.

A major recommendation was the adoption of a new two-course sequence for first-year students. This sequence will replace the current one-unit introductory seminar course forfirst-year engineering and computer science students.A backward design process — that began with student learning outcomes and produced contentand assignments that would support these outcomes — was used by a subsequent summerworking group to develop plans for the two-course sequence.

]. Outside ofthe classroom however, this becomes an issue as engineering students have significantexperience with the mathematical and scientific side of problem solving and little to noexperience developing critical design thinking skills that can be applied to any range ofproblems. This lack of experience in design thinking can lead students to doubt their abilities andprofessional place in their industry [4, 5]. The problems presented to engineers in industry often cannot be solved using the familiarpath taught in lecture. Thus, recently graduated engineering students who have learned solelythrough lecture based courses are underprepared for a career in engineering that utilizes creativedesign thinking on a day to day basis [4].

Fostering this additionalform of mentorship can act as a safety net for students with insufficient institutionalizedmentorship (e.g. research advisor) which can reduce feelings of isolation.

, sustainability courses were notintegrated into prescribed undergraduate or graduate engineering curricula, and in some cases this mayhave been due to a lack of resources. Rather, students independently sought ‘special topics’ to supporttheir interest in sustainability. This lack of emphasis on sustainability contrasts the descriptions ofin-person exposure to sustainable technology which ultimately steered those individuals towardsustainable engineering careers. The instructor’s sentiment that “people are willing to learn but you needto show them why it’s important,” echoes McCormick et al.'s work from 2015 [21].
