in 2016 which was50 percentage points larger than for the lowest SES students (28 percent) [5]. 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].

chose to use this timeframe because my initial research indicated that little has been writtenabout this topic, so a 10-year timeframe allows for a collection of literature sufficient to identifyrelevant theories, concepts, methods, and scholarly interests. It is recent enough to reflectcurrent conditions, technological advances, and any changes in work-related happiness thatoccurred during or after the COVID-19 pandemic and associated adjustments to work practices.Also, this 10-year period included periods of economic growth and recession, so results shouldnot be skewed by one prevailing macroeconomic condition.B.

Two second year courses, GeneralEngineering Energy Systems and Chemical Engineering Conservation Principles, weretaught to provide background knowledge of how energy systems work, concepts ofmaterial and energy balances, and how chemical reactions can be manipulated inprocesses for sustainability and energy efficiency purposes. These courses were taughtto provide an understanding of systems learning as it related to sustainability frommultiple engineering disciplinary viewpoints. There were lectures and readings to helpstudents learn how sustainable technologies are implemented and regulated in Brazil.The learning of these concepts was strengthened by interactions and visits
