four 4-year HBCU institutionsexperienced a resignation or termination at the highest level. Additionally, research shows thatpresidents and chancellors at HBCUs have significantly shorter tenures, with an average of 3.3years than those of other four-year institutions, with an average tenure of 7 years. These changeshave been deemed a “crisis” and an added challenge to the ongoing recovery efforts of manyHBCUs disproportionately impacted by the global pandemic.Two areas that are critical for higher education institutions related to science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education are (1) the role they play in broadening theparticipation of historically excluded individuals and (2) research activity, particularly

However, disconcerting trends have been observed, which is a considerablefraction of engineering graduates show a reluctance to remain in their field during jobsearches, risking an outflow of expertise from the sector. Influenced by self-interest,utilitarian values, and entrenched gender stereotypes, these students’ career decisionspoint to the urgency for empirical studies that examine the synergy between universityeducation and individual student motivations.

Thisnecessitates a deeper understanding and application of empathy and knowledge of globalcomplexities. It emphasizes flexible thinking to anticipate and access the ethical, economic,political, and health impacts of the proposed designs, technology, and solutions that students willengineer. These implications also encompass the broader health and addiction impacts oftechnology, as well as its effects on the social and the ecological fabric [10].The challenges confronting engineering include

Hence, there is a growing recognition of theneed for more engaging teaching strategies and learning environments to inspire and engage abroader range of students in engineering disciplines. Innovative learning technologies, such asdigital game-based learning environments, are integral to addressing this need by inspiring interestthrough intellectual engagement among the young generation of students. Moreover, engineeringundergraduate students must graduate from their programs with technical knowledge, criticalthinking, and problem-solving skills to succeed in today’s rapidly advancing and highlycompetitive STEM fields.
