review investigates the gender disparitieswithin intellectual property (IP) fields and examines how engineering education can addressthese issues. Through a narrative literature review of recent studies, the paper highlights thenecessity of transformative changes in STEM education and IP frameworks to create a moreinclusive innovation ecosystem. The research underscores the importance of diversity ininnovation, noting that diverse teams generate more creative solutions, particularly in areas suchas healthcare and caregiving technologies where women tend to focus. Furthermore, the studyexplores how engineering education influences career trajectories and the role of early exposureto engineering concepts in fostering innovation. Integrating

Additionally, they should promote student involvement inprofessional organizations, access to support services, and recognition of prior learning to ensurealignment with ABET standards.Our ABET report detailed how the CSULB BME program ensures academic preparedness andfosters inclusivity through structured admissions policies and support systems. Pre-majors mustcomplete foundational courses with a minimum grade of “C” and maintain a 2.5 GPA to declarethe major. The report highlighted the seamless integration of transfer students, who enhanceprogram diversity, through

Traditional SBPs primarilyfocus on pre-college preparation, exposing students to the academic rigor of college-level mathand science while improving their preparedness [8, 9]. In contrast, the CURE project’s SBPspecifically targets Statics and Mechanics of Materials—two foundational courses in engineeringeducation that heavily influence retention and long-term success [10].These
