Today, PLM continues to drive digital innovation andadvancements as part of the “epi-digital” nature [1] of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) [2].A lack of knowledge of proper utilization of these technologies can drive inefficiencies andcause difficult problems for engineering organizations. Traditional engineering curriculum hasresponded to the advent of digital technology, incorporating instruction time with computers,programming, and application usage [3]. Despite this, PLM remains limited in exposure toundergraduate engineering students, who graduate with less than ideal proficiency in PLM topicssuch as informatics and change management [4].The lack of PLM topics

Specifically, STEM activities were deployedat three high schools in urban, low-income communities in Texas in the US, and the effect of theactivities on student mathematics scores over three years on a standardized test were studied.Students participating in the study were 54% Hispanic and 38% African American, with theremainder made up of White and Asian students. Overall, the student body was 49% male. Thus,the student participants were racially and gender diverse. Interestingly, the lowest performingstudents showed the biggest improvement in mathematics scores after having experiencedproject-based
