. Training scholars tothink and work across disciplinary boundaries can enhance disaster preparation and management,which, in turn, can enhance disaster resilience, especially in vulnerable locations and forvulnerable populations. To that end, we have embarked on a cross-university collaboration thatbrings together scholars in engineering and science with expertise in natural hazards modelingand characterization, scholars in urban planning and policy with expertise in the social impactsof disasters (e.g. housing, economy) as well as in community engagement, and scholars inbusiness information technology with expertise in supply chain management that considers howsupplies are allocated and distributed before and after disasters.

This paper evaluates a STEM-oriented summer programdesigned for high school students and examines the effectiveness of its educational instruments,using an opening survey, an end-of-program survey, and an alumni survey. Activities of highimpacts identified by this study can be used by other similar outreach programs that aim toincrease high school students' interests in STEM.

When the results were disaggregated by state, 2015 and 2017 math and science scores forNYS 4th graders decreased from 2009; NYS math and science scores for 8th graders seemedunchanged5.Given these results, there is potential for improvement. The Engineering Ambassadors workedwith students in Grades 6 -12 with the hope that middle and high school students could develop apositive attitude toward math and science, anchors of the STEM program. The Ambassadorsadded the engineering component to math and science learning through hands-on activities andincorporated technological enhancements - for full STEM implementation.The Ambassador program was designed around characteristics of middle

Thus there is an interest for students and engineers to better understandionospheric propagation. A necessary component for increased understanding and insight is bymeans of empirical testing or in today’s education parlance, in order for one to really understandsky wave, one has to experience it.In subsequent sections of this paper, we will first review the basics of sky wave radio propagationincluding basic optic theory and how ionization in the E and F layers will deflect radio signals.We then

electrical and computer engineering (ECE) contexts.Considering this paper’s focus on ECE, Jesiek and Jamieson traced the history of ECE through aseries of historical moments that coincided with many of the social, cultural, and technologicalevolutions since the late 1800s [13]. Citing the recurring fragmentation trend within ECE (e.g.,as technology evolved in society, electrical and computer engineers’ expertise becameincreasingly specialized into siloed sub-fields with little overlap), Jesiek and Jamieson shed lighton recurring issues pertaining to both (1) professional formation and (2) diversity and inclusionin ECE. That is, as a field, ECE promotes “negative stereotypes and masculine cultural dynamicsin…both school and workplace settings” [13, p
