(and throughout the world) could be helpful albeitwithout sacrificing technical degree requirements. As a result, inclusion of arts within thecurriculum may aid in counteracting the reduced enrollment trend and broaden participation inengineering [10], [11]. Studies indicate arts inclusion directly impacts recruitment and retentionof females and underrepresented minorities [11]. Without changes to current higher educationengineering curricula, the lackluster innovation trend in many global economies is likely tocontinue. Unfortunately, limited literature exists that showcases best practices for integratinginnovation and entrepreneurship into mid-level engineering coursework from a STEAMperspective.1.2 Current Approaches and Associated

incentives to change also discourage new practices, especially when the course is sharedamong multiple instructors. For these reasons, an optional recitation course offered outside of thetraditional class structure would be the best choice for ease of implementation that does notaffect other professors and their unique teaching styles. A single instructor could create asupplemental course with innovative teaching methods that does not force other faculty membersto practice new methods, spend more time prepping, or revising course outcomes. Recitation isalso easily testable to determine efficacy without potentially harming students who learn bestthrough traditional methods. A recent study by Gannon University has shown that although asimilar

They implemented their group projects, spent time with children, took a field trip to a localcigar factory and a national park with a well-known waterfall, and visited the local university.Some students also visited a local K-12 school. Three faculty members facilitated the activitieson-site and were fully embedded in all activities.2.

In asking this question we contribute a new perspective for understanding how womenconstruct rationales for persistence and exit.Women‟s tokenism in engineering education is structurally and culturally organized.Structurally, women remain a numerically small proportion of their classmates at most majorinstitutions of engineering education.

However, Lino Camprub´ı [2] contends that they “could hardly be calledpolitically neutral technocrats,” pointing to examples of highly regarded scientists and engineerswho were supportive of the surveillance, control, and “purifying” of science. Similarly, JoanneTuck [3] notes that many German engineers struggled after a massive job shortage induced by theGreat Depression at the end of the Weimar Republic. They competed for whatever business theycould find, including in the design and construction of the technologies that enabled ethniccleansing by genocide– and they did so knowingly. As Eric Katz [4

All topics and techniques normally taught in the CADDesign I course were covered in the trial distance learning course. The student workbookscollected at the end of the semester were comparable in content and quality to the local studentgroup as was performance on the final exam. Comparison of the remote student work topreviously taught CAD Design I courses were equally favorable. There was no discernable Page 11.43.7difference between the trial group
