use of the massive amounts of data beingrevealed to them via social media every time they unlock their phone. Though these results weregathered in 2017, these are the most recent measures on U.S. adult digital literacy until the secondcycle of the PIAAC is completed in future years.Regardless, our world is continuously advancing and evolving. In large part, this is thanks toadvances made in STEM. Our government leaders and advisors openly acknowledge this fact.The bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 is a key example of this as it allocates historicallylarge investments to be given to U.S. workers, communities, and businesses with the goal ofensuring that the United States is a leader in the “industries of tomorrow”. 8 The NSTC’s 2018STEM

the case from the appropriate divisional committee. Therefore,any faculty member for whom there is a question of satisfactory performance will have their casesent to the divisional committee for evaluation. Records of how many cases considered by thedivisional committees are kept and are available in their annual reports to the UWM FacultySenate. [14]Review of the annual reports indicate that the divisional committees have received a total of 4cases to consider over the six academic years for which the policy has been implemented(2017/18 – 2022/23). One case was reviewed by the Division of the Natural Sciences in2017/18, two cases were reviewed by the Division of the Professions in 2018/19, and one casewas reviewed by the Division of the Arts

issues (Hyunet al., 2006; Lipson et al., 2016). Research also shows that engineering students from marginalizedgroups may face greater incidences of mental health disorders. For example, one U.S. survey foundthat women engineering students were more likely to screen positive for major depressive order(by a factor of 2.3), panic disorder (by a factor of 4.4), other anxiety disorders (by a factor of 2.2),and PTSD (by a factor of 1.9) than their men peers (Danowitz & Beddoes, 2022). The same studyfound that engineering students who identify as Hispanic or Latinx were more likely to screenpositive for major depressive disorder (by a factor of 3.2) and PTSD (by a factor of 2.5) thanrespondents who identified as non-Hispanic/Latinx White; and that

We conducted the search in lateJanuary 2023, including both active and expired awards, with a cutoff start date of December 31, 2022.The NSF search tool indicates that “data prior to 1976 may be less complete” (NSF, 2023); thus, ourdataset can be considered representative of the period from 1976 to 2022. Finally, we merged andconsolidated the lists generated from each term search to generate a preliminary dataset. Theconsolidation
