very difficult for these awarded degrees to make an impact within the state. Thisis especially true given that masters degrees have been projected to make up an increasing needwithin STEM fields [10, 11]. SIIRE attempts to improve on this situation by mitigating financialbarriers to students completing undergraduate and graduate degrees in engineering and bycreating an environment that helps engineering students perceive advanced graduate studies as apotential career option.A premise behind SIIRE is that financial barriers not only make it difficult for someundergraduate students to complete an undergraduate degree in engineering but also impact theirperception of continuing within graduate school. Thus, first and foremost, SIIRE is a

play an increasingly important role in different STEM majors. Each session is designed to introduce to the Scholars fundamental concepts in coding, common applications in everyday problems, and what college-level programming classes may entail. CAD and 3-D Printing: Through the use of 3-D modeling software and rapid prototyping, this workshop emphasizes the importance of visualization skills in STEM career. The Scholars work on simple design projects where ideas can quickly be materialized into a prototype. Like coding, CAD is a conceptual and a procedural skill that takes time to master. This workshop, therefore, aims spark interest among the Scholars by previewing the power and usefulness

]. Perceived self-efficacy or confidencein students is defined as the students’ beliefs in themselves to regulate their own learning, level ofmotivation, and master academic activities, which lead to academic accomplishments [13]. Self-efficacy theory is used in this study to help students develop STEM-confidence and is illustratedin the conceptual framework below. From the prior research conducted on STEM-confidence, thevariables of STEM-confidence are student views of teachers, comparison to peers among classsize, and perceptions of the field as rewarding [14] – [17]. These three variables will be used toanswer the research question. Conceptual Framework Presented below is the conceptual framework, which

Similarly, the EclecticTech Carnival, a recurring feminist hacker meeting that convened in Bologna, Italy in October2018, began the meeting with a hands-on activity that involved taking apart desktop computingtowers. While the exercise was intended to gain knowledge of how black-boxed computertechnology works, it also involved examining the politics and power built into material systems,such as the designation of “master” and “slave” connector ports. By pointing out that suchlanguage around computing has been normalized (and was never problematized to the point ofbeing erased), the activity demonstrated how deeply embedded dominant white, masculinist, andcolonialist framings create exclusionary
