research programs as a means of attracting undergraduate studentsinto graduate education and research. Through research experiences for undergraduates (REU)programs, NSF supports U.S. citizens and permanent resident students from institutions that maynot have graduate programs in an area to immerse them into research environment at a hostresearch university. Therefore, REU programs are aimed to increase participants’ awareness andinterest in graduate school in computing, science, technology, engineering, and math (C-STEM)fields.However, the recent data showed the continuing lack of diversity in engineering graduateprograms [1]. From 2007 to 2017, there was a 5.1% increase in total graduate enrollment ofwomen in engineering, but Figure 1 shows that

They are told that skills on this list mustconstantly be honed and adjusted as technology and client needs change. The humility of beinga lifelong learner who can always improve their skill is emphasized.The following week, an official communications lecture is presented with an emphasis on thethree pillars and the expectations for quality in the Cornerstone of Engineering class. Therelevance of each of the pillars to the assignments on the syllabus are also pointed out.Specifically, students are told that they will be weaving their communication skills into a course-long project to design a product.

Society for Engineering Education, 2019AbstractIn recent years, makerspaces have become an increasingly common feature in the engineeringbuildings of academic institutions. Through the creation and continued funding of these spaces,access to rapid prototyping technology has allowed for fast, straightforward project developmentacross the engineering disciplines. While many hypothesize that students’ participation withinthese facilities has a positive impact on their educational experiences and outcomes, there is littleempirical data that describes how and to what extent individuals are impacted by exposure to amakerspace.In this paper, we seek to understand how the use of a university makerspace in a course projectimpacts students’ engineering

Course on Undergraduate Students (RTP)AbstractExposure to pre-college Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) activitiesand undergraduate service learning have been linked to increased interest and participation inSTEM careers. However, few studies have linked these two activities to increased interest andparticipation in teaching careers related to STEM. Due to changing national standards anddemographics, the next generation of K-12 teachers will be required to integrate STEM into theirclassrooms while dealing with students of diverse backgrounds that may differ significantly fromtheir own. Of concern are the elementary or K-6 teachers who will be expected to include STEMin their lessons but do not
