progress through theSTEM pipeline also depends on the types of opportunities, experiences, and support studentsreceive while in college (Chang, Eagan, Lin, & Hurtado, 2011; Espinosa, 2011). “Theeducational experience and the culture of the discipline (as reflected in the attitudes and practicesof faculty) make a much greater contribution to [STEM] attrition than the individualinadequacies of students or the appeal of other majors” (Chang, Sharkness, Hurtado, & Newman,2014). In addition to the academic and social supports deemed essential for studentpersistence and transfer, there appear to be some specific recommendations that encourageSTEM students in particular to persist, transfer, and ultimately complete a STEM degree

We close by setting research agendas andavenues needed to understand and impact concerns over diversity and inclusion in engineering.Introduction and backgroundDespite myriad calls for and programs aiming to bring engineering into K-12 settings, progresshas been hampered by an already crowded curricular scope, comparatively limited resources forteacher professional development on teaching engineering practices, and a relatively sparseadoption of state standards that include engineering.

At select points in theprogram, a field trip was incorporated that allowed students to visit university labs, sciencemuseums, or engineering open houses.SEBA Project OutcomesOver the course of the project multiple measures were used to assess student attitudes,engagement, and the overall impact that teaching assistants, parents, and mentors had onstudents’ perspective of STEM.

This trend reflects upon the workplace in these fieldswith women making up only 29% of the science and engineering workforce, with relatively lowshares in engineering, around 15%. The need for more educational opportunities for femalestudents in fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) is present andthere is a need for programs to help correct this trend8.There are currently some STEM outreach programs in place within the United States.

For example, at room temperature, if the RFID antenna is required 2ftof antenna to antenna distance, the best distance between tag and the antenna is 3ft for the bestdetection rate. At the higher temperature, T = 130°F, if the tag is located 4ft away from thereading antenna, 4ft of antenna distance or DCA = 2ft is the best for the maximum reading rate.There are couple of limitations. First, the environmental temperature is simulated using smallbox and only the tag is inside of the box while the antennas are outside. This implies that onlythe tag is affected by the temperature, while the reflected signal from the passive tag is partiallyaffected. In other word

, conceptual design is considered the most cognitively intensive inthe engineering design process (Kim, 2011). Therefore, throughout the whole design process,students may have engaged in their task differently, behaviorally emotionally and cognitively.Thus, we perceive the videos recording their design processes as temporal data. In order toanalyze such data, we used sequence analysis – a temporal data analysis method (Abbott,1995). Each video was divided into a number of two-minute segments for adequate coding,and each segment was watched and compared with predetermined indicators that reflect thethree types of engagement and thus record the presence of each type of engagement at thesub-group level. Due to space limit of this paper, these indicators

All these effects contributed to prevent mistakes in the process.To sustain these improvements, the revisions to the lab assignment will be made permanent; theinstructor and teaching assistants will look for clarifications in other assignment instructions. In thefuture, students will be asked to anticipate failure modes and how to prevent them as part of the pre-laboratory assignment, then reflect on those predictions in lab report conclusions.
