roughly ten thousand years, human ingenuity has been a source of innovation that has led to increasesin quality of life. But it’s also been a dominating factor in events and trends that have threatened qualityof life. Advances from agriculture, energy-harnessing and civic infrastructure, through to syntheticchemistry, biotechnology, solid state engineering, bioengineering, and computer science, have positivelytransformed the world we inhabit. Yet with each wave of innovation there has been a backwash ofconsequences that have, in turn, required further innovation to overcome. As a result, nearly everysignificant challenge we currently face as a society, from climate change and global pollution, to theprevalence and spread of diseases and social

During the same period,the ratio of URM to non-URM students enrolled in STEM majors at TAMUCC increased morerapidly than the same ratio in non-STEM majors, despite the fact that the representation of URMstudents remains higher in non-STEM fields.At PVAMU and TAMU, the LSAMP project supported and encouraged persistence and degreeattainment for many STEM students who would otherwise not have demonstrated resilience andachievement.

This endeavor requires peoplewho have a broad set of skills, including technical knowledge, creativity, resilience, anunderstanding of the design process, entrepreneurial thinking, and strong communication skills1.Just as importantly, innovators need to be able to effectively collaborate and work in teams tosolve problems—all talents grouped under the umbrella term “21st Century Skills” 2.There are numerous reasons why proportional participation by all parts of the nation’s workforcein creative innovation is important. Research has shown that diverse workforces outperformthose with less gender and ethnic diversity, and that diverse design teams produce more radicallyinnovative solutions3, 4

The various steps require different amounts of time (i.e., wheatgrows faster than corn), and the value of the various products reflects typical market values (i.e.,one piece of bacon is worth more than one egg and the creation of a “breakfast meal” requiresfour eggs and two pieces of bacon).

fact that students will not always be successful in their job search butthat their approach to resiliency can greatly impact their eventual success. Dweck and herresearch colleagues have also found that the messages students receive from teachers frompreschool through college impact their mindsets, their goal orientation, and, consequently, theiracademic achievement.[12]Our practice has shown that other important traits employers are looking for are engagement andintegrity. Thus, the course also utilizes Ellen Langer’s book, The Power of Mindful Learning, asanother text. By trying to help the students learn the value to being present and more mindful inall they do we hope to foster engagement. New lessons in the co-op course also

Tara noted that people who hold individualistic mindsetsmight be less receptive to seeing problems related to social justice and macroethics. “sometimes the attitude of the people in [this city] is a lot more individualistic, but they don’t understand the impact of the society on their life. So the privilege of living in a developed country, having your roads always working, your police not taking bribes, your systems always being in place, your infrastructure always being there, has made you not understand the impact of having people who can actually do these things in the future.” (p. 8)Individualism is also reflected in the culture Tara observed at the
