These initiatives can also help bridge the educational gap by providing additionalopportunities in elective subject areas with limited classroom engagement [3], [4].Outside-of-school programs provide opportunities not only to students, but also programfacilitators, such as teachers and undergraduate mentors, to develop new skills in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education through inquiry and engineeringdesign [4], [5]. These programs give students and facilitators the opportunity to increase theirSTEM literacy by engaging in activities that are set in real-world scenarios.

) recentlyintroduced similar programs called Innovation Corps (I-Corps), which are designed to lead smallteams through customer discovery and business model validation during a seven- to eight-weekbootcamp. Both programs are widely recognized as effective training camps that “preparescientists and engineers to extend their focus beyond the university laboratory” andcommercialize new technology faster [7]. These programs are primarily intended for graduatestudents and start-up business leaders, yet there is a need to engage students in entrepreneurialactivities sooner in their education [8]. One study by Pellicane and Blaho [8] adapted the I-Corpsmodel to an undergraduate course and found that students who participated had significantlyincreased collaboration

Remarkably,engineering education culture has remained somewhat stable in the face of this pressure [30] andthe institutional priority of research over teaching continues to be a challenge [16], [22],nonetheless, program changes are occurring as sustainability issues are addressed at the courseand program level. The workload remains a problem as there is a hesitancy to remove materialfrom courses and programs even as new material is added, nonetheless, the examination ofworkload is occurring [31].

Like other organizations, institutions of higher learning reflect and normalize disconnectsbetween the presumed role expectations of faculty members depending on their social culturalidentity [68, 69]. The presumed role expectations and measures of adequacy are often inequitableand oppositional to challenging or transforming the paradigms that exacerbate the role strains ofwomen and in particular intersectional women [31, 68, 69] who are in disciplines within science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).Research Questions For this paper, the

experience varies across majors,the one feature that is consistent across all capstone offerings is the emphasis on a team-basedapproach that mimics the industry work environment. While the intent of these capstone coursesis to provide students with a means of applying and integrating core concepts within theirdiscipline to a complex problem, the importance of using these courses as a “training ground” forintroducing, practicing, and refining team-centric, professional skills that will be critical forstudents’ future career success can not be understated. In fact, the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) specifically identifies the need to emphasize these “soft”skills within the engineering curriculum as part of its Criterion 3.3

In the United States, the STEM job-growth rateoverall is more than twice the average rate for the total workforce [1, p. 201], with most jobopenings in computer science and engineering (CS&E) [2]. The limited representation ofwomen in these fields is apparent: Women comprise just 28 percent of workers in science andengineering fields overall, and even less in CS&E fields [3].These labor-force dynamics also reflect trends in U.S. higher education: Although women’spostsecondary attainment rates exceed men’s, women remain

Much of the conceptual material sits squarelywithin the discipline of computer engineering, but recent trends in computer architecture [5][6]and limited exposure to the topic within both our engineering and computing curricula creates anopportunity to develop interdisciplinary competencies.
