than 9 million between 2012 and 2022. The increase in jobs in STEM fields means that moreworkers will be needed to fill these occupations and therefore the cultivation of a robust, diverse,and equitable STEM workforce pipeline is essential.For the past couple of decades, efforts to establish systematic initiatives to nurture a strong STEMworkforce pipeline has been a major topic of national educational reform debates. Although thereare various perspectives regarding the processes to advance STEM excellence, there is a consensusthat STEM education is fundamentally linked to national prosperity and enhanced quality of lifefor individuals working in STEM fields. The investment in STEM education has significanteconomic and societal impacts

As currently formatted, H&H Lab is a course thatstresses applications of hydrologic and hydraulic principles through both physicalexperimentation and computer workshops. The AR sandbox module in this course is taughtduring the first class meeting of the semester, with each student group having 30 minutes tocomplete the activity. By using this module to start the course, it creates a memorable experiencewhile providing a broad introduction to basic hydrologic topics that will be covered throughoutthe semester in both the lab and lecture courses.

humanity starts to go back to the new normalityafter the Covid19 Pandemic. As the vaccination campaigns are different from one country toanother, we expect that still some terms will have a strong component of online teaching duringthe year 2021 and probably the beginning of 2022 in our country. The results of the surveyapplied to the students that took the courses analyzed in this paper show that students canperceive when a professor is not well prepared for online teaching. Another important finding isthat the duration or length of online sessions is crucial for any successful model. Sometimesprofessors want to replicate what happens in a lecture room on campus in the virtual classroomand sessions can be tedious for students if the professors do

Experts agree that a diverse STEMworkforce leads to global competitiveness and better economic outcomes for all involved [1]. Ina 2009 study of for-profit corporations, Herring found that gender diversity in the workforcecould be connected to greater sales, more customer acquisitions and ultimately larger profits [2].Additionally, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects growth rates for STEM occupationsof about 13% between 2012 and 2022, which is faster than average for all occupations.

developing Solar Energy Germany was the leader producing solar panels until other countries like China, India, and the United States gain interest on developing these technologies. Moreover, in 2015, China became the largest producerof solar energy, and is currently making the biggest plant in the Gobi dessert. The amount of solar energy that China plans to produce in several yeas surpasses three times by what the United States has in mind. Another country with ambition when it comes to producing solar enrgy is India. By 2022, India plans to produce 12.5% of their general energy needs by using solar energy. This will benefit considerably theeconomy of the country. In addition, the state of

It appears that for MS/ME graduates the Energy course is thepreferred program, whereas for doctoral students, ACEEES appeals to students because of thestipend they receive as well as numerous experience based programs it offers such as internshipsand annual forum. It remains to be seen if stopping the ACEEES stipend will cause problems forthe remaining students with limited financial resources to complete their doctoral degree.From the faculty point of view creating both graduate programs resulted from faculty withdifferent disciplines and in different departments
