Majors Jose Villalobos, Uday Nair, Lisa MasAbstractThis study seeks to understand whether race and gender identities influence commitment toSTEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) majors. The research was conducted at theUniversity of Central Florida. The participants in this study are undergraduate students in theCareer Advancement Mentoring Program for Young Entrepreneurs and Scholars (CAMP-YES)Program. All students were invited to participate in an online survey study. Out of the 124students, 32 participated in the study yielding a response rate of 25.8%, and 27 with completeresponses. The survey was comprised of three constructs adapted from previously validatedsurveys measuring a) social identity on the
innovation and promote interest in students to become entrepreneurs.Through this education, students gain the skills and perspective necessary to start their ownbusinesses. These commercialization ventures have high growth potential and programs thatfoster these companies tend to mimic technology incubators [4] in an effort to kick-start thefounding of companies.These concepts of engineering entrepreneurship not only lead to the founding of new businessventures, but also provide significant benefits to student learning in their own right [5], [6]. Thisis evident in the alignment of entrepreneurship exercises with ABET student outcomes [7], as theproduct development process provides the broader societal context often lacking from
focus on identifying, assessing, and developing key skills, knowledge, attitudes, and other intrinsic and extrinsic factors required for engineers to effectively lead others, particularly other engineers and across cultures.Prof. Andrew Michael Erdman, Pennsylvania State University, University Park Andrew M. ”Mike” Erdman received his B.S. in Engineering Science from Penn State and his M.S. from USC.

The scaffolding of this module and theconcepts/skills that the students used to design and the analyze the prototypes is discussed. The KernEntrepreneurial Engineering Network’s (KEEN) framework used to assess the module along withother Likert scale assessments showed that students acquired the creative confidence to seekopportunities which could lead to technological breakthrough.

However, the lack of women and underrepresented persons in the industry is indicative of alarger problem within the aviation industry and questions remain as to why these particular kinds ofindividuals are not pursuing these careers. Aviation is not unique in this way from other Science,Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields, where the struggle to attract and retainunderrepresented individuals is ongoing. While the industry itself has made some strides in trying tocreate a more diverse and inclusive workforce, the evidence indicates that there is still a gap that isnot being filled. The response

The pace of evolution of the technology toadditive manufacturing is noteworthy caused mainly by quality and value addition which Additivemanufacturing proposes in the product development process: shorter lead times, less waste, andcompetitive products. With the emergence and proliferation of the technology, there is an increaseddemand of workforce which can understand principles of Additive manufacturing processes andoptimally apply it to solve real life world problems.This paper investigates existing efforts in Additive manufacturing education and its implicationsin engineering education research.
