In 2003, Bruk was hired by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL), where he worked on nanotech- nology and microsystems. In 2005 he left JHUAPL for a fellowship with the National Academies and researched methods of increasing the number of women in engineering. Later that year, he briefly served as a mathematics instructor in Baltimore City High Schools. From 2005 through 2018, Dr. Berhane directed engineering recruitment and scholarship programs for the University of Maryland. He oversaw an increase in the admission of students of color and women during his tenure and

,facilitating effective teaching and learning, rural schools still face numerous challenges.Despite a relatively high level of student engagement in the learning process at the elementary level inrural areas, there is a substantial exodus of students from the rural education system at the high schoollevel. Sheer numbers and stark contrasts to the educational opportunities available in urban highschools mark this departure.One possible factor contributing to students leaving these schools is the shortage of qualified subject-specific teachers capable of delivering high school-level content in a way that resonates with students.Research on this issue suggests that there are several factors responsible for the challenges faced by therural education system

While there are current efforts to improve high school student’s interest in the STEMfield (e.g., Yeter et al., 2023; Burley et al., 2016; Youngblood et al., 2016), the availability ofinfluential people with different backgrounds and mentoring programs are essential resources foroffering direction, encouragement, and motivation (Chemers et al., 2011; Shapiro & Williams,2012).
