Nonetheless, we think reporting out on thisproject is worthwhile for a number of reasons. First, data science is an increasingly importantpart of STEM education, but its locale within academic programs is inconsistent and notnecessarily within engineering programs’ footprints. We hope this program offers a blueprint forhow interdisciplinary and engineering programs might

drivers of forced displacement. Humanitarian agencies working in at-riskcommunities, are often in need of not just cash and medical supplies, but also require trainedprofessionals who are comfortable with technology, can guide innovation, and can provideguidance and training to others in the appropriate use of technology [4]. Both emerging andlong-term humanitarian crises have created an endless demand for engineers who are willing andcapable of channeling their skills towards working to alleviate the suffering of those displacedfrom their homes [5]. While the demand only continues to grow, the supply of such individualsremains limited, in part due to the limited training opportunities to engage with these issues.Despite the opportunity and need

Since a school and/orfamily obligation requires low-income students to work, they cannot engage well in school andafford engagement activities like football games. The underrepresentation of low-SES graduatesmeans that those graduates are missing out on the financial and professional benefits of jobopportunities available through STEM. This underrepresentation also impacts the overall numbersof STEM professionals in the U.S [6].

Exposing students,particularly women, to growth mindset theory, close faculty interaction, and other supportnetworks will help build confidence.[9] The importance of self-efficacy for sustainableengineering studies emphasizes the role of intrinsic motivation and the need for students to beengaged in building a sustainability mindset from the outset of their education.[10]Mindsets and Attitudes about Engineering and TechnologyThe attitudes carried by engineers in their field and of technology

Other mindsets that frequently appear among engineers are “technological optimism”(Krier and Gillette, 1985), in which human progress is uncritically associated with technologicalinnovation, “technological neutrality” which posits that technology is value-free, and that valuesonly arise based on decisions of the users of the technology (Papadopoulos and Nettleship,2020). A related attitude expressed by engineering students is that engineering is an “exact”science
