Some of the notablediscussions and efforts in this area are presented under this section.Braham, J., “Where are the Leaders?” Machine Design, October 10, 1991, Page 58-62. JenniferChalsma, Staff Editor at Machine Design, after interviewing some practicing engineers fromFortune 500 companies, concludes that “Readers call for more practical, “real world” coursesand less theory.” Suggestions for improving engineering and technological curricula include: theuse of Co-ops and Internships, and increasing the number of laboratory courses and projects.Hiles, K.

degrees in 2012, but earned only 19% of the totalengineering degrees1. This disparity continues for graduate degrees2 and women hold less than25% of all STEM positions in the workplace3 and only 14% of the engineering positions4.Women are clearly missing from engineering-related fields in both higher education and theworkforce.In order to increase the gender diversity of these fields, we must make engineering attractive togirls from a young age. Too few girls who are bright, ambitious, and motivated to contribute tothe betterment of the world are aware of how rewarding Science, Technology, Engineering andMath (STEM) careers can be5.

. Thismodel consists of a network of STEM-focused charter schools in urban locations across the statethat have been developed in partnership with the state’s flagship research-intensive university,purposely with its engineering technology college. The uniqueness of this model is that it hasbeen created with a goal of cultivating an environment of academic excellence and collegereadiness, specifically for minoritized youth, through experiential learning where students learnby attempting to solve authentic problems through industry-sponsored design challenges andprojects. This innovative university-school collaborative model has been implemented sinceAugust 2016, and has expanded to include 3 urban school locations as of 2021.To date, however, little
design work at the graduate level is minimal. However, it is ourhypothesis that these intensive hands-on types of experience may not be as critical to the types ofnon-traditional students who have significant exposure to engineering in their professionalcareers, such that these students already “know what engineering is”. (By comparison, we feelthat it is unlikely that a fully online program would be optimal for the traditional college-ageundergraduate student who lacks such exposure to engineering; such students would likely needthe benefits, supports, and interactions best provided by the traditional undergraduateexperience.) Obviously this hypothesis warrants detailed assessment and evaluation as the onlineprogram is developed.Specifically
