private organization, the E. EugeneCarter Foundation, provided an incentive for degree completion, the Carter Opportunity Award,to undergraduate women in the form of a repayment of subsidized student loans upon completionof an engineering degree. No requirements beyond completion of an engineering degree werestipulated. No time limit for degree completion was designated, and recipients were not requiredto work in a specific field or location after completion of their engineering degrees.Student loan repayment is an incentive often used to recruit and retain highly qualifiedprofessionals into lower-paying careers or services for a certain period of time. It has beenwidely used by government agencies such as U.S. Army, National Institute of Health

This project was approved by the authors’ Institutional Review Boardin April of 2015.ConclusionAlthough the specific details of this assignment may be challenging to duplicate at otherinstitutions due to a variety of difference, there exist common themes in courses that engineeringstudents study. The authors believe that creating interactions between courses with overlappingthemes can enhance student learning. As we educate engineers and citizens, it is critical for ourstudents to consider how their careers and personal lives will be impacted by new technologicaladvances.

This program and others like it have led to thedevelopment of a vast supply of resources for teachers interested in increasing engagement andinterest in STEM among their students. But with all these teaching resources available, studentengagement in STEM classroom activities and lessons is still a

Spatial skills are very important for a large variety ofcareers. In 1964 Smith 4) identified at least 84 career areas for which spatial skills are important.Studies have also shown that spatial visualization skills are a strong predictor of the success andconfidence of engineering students (5-9). A 2010 report on the role of women in STEM fieldsidentifies spatial visualization skills as important for the success of women students in STEM-related fields (10). The report also presents findings that women and underrepresented minoritiesin STEM have comparatively lower spatial visualization

Within the engineering field, those with higher spatial ability perform, onaverage, better than other students in the same field of engineering who have lower spatialability1, 3. This better performance in their academic career then translates to their professionalcareer1, 2.
