study the issue of the gender gap and the factorsaffecting it [11].Solving the gender gap is of interest to scientific education [12]. Despite the implementation ofmany policies to reduce the gender gap, the difference in the rate of women and men in the fieldof engineering, especially in Middle Eastern countries, remains significant. These differences canalso have negative effects on scientific and technological progress [12]. The “credentialsequilibrium” described by Salehi-Isfahani [13] refers to a system in which educationalqualifications in the Middle East were primarily aimed at securing public sector jobs rather thanfostering broader economic productivity. This factor has led to high youth unemployment andinefficient use of educational

Prior to NYSCI, Ms. Bennett conducted foundational work in gender equity and design-based STEM edu- cation through EDC’s Center for Children and Technology, Bank Street College of Education, and Sesame Workshop, collaborating with national and international partners such as IBM, the Australian Children’s Television Foundation, higher education schools of engineering, and k-12 educators nationwide to create hands-on design experiences and digital media that invite diverse learners into STEM.Dr. ChangChia James Liu, New York Hall of Science Dr. Liu’s work focuses on motivation in

One of tenrecommendations from the National Research Council is to “secure for the United States the fullbenefits of education for all Americans, including women and underrepresented minorities, inscience, mathematics, engineering, and technology” [1]. This goal is a central tenet of theUniversity of California (UC) system, which was recently recognized by The New York Timesas an “upward-mobility machine” [2].

We surveyed college anduniversity STEM instructors to determine if they were utilizing Open Education Resources(OER) and Open Access (OA) books, articles, or other resources. We also asked whetherinstructors are selecting materials based on accessibility, diversity of format types, representationof a variety of identities within STEM professions, or other criteria. We asked what informationresources are consulted when instructors select instructional materials. Using qualitative codinganalysis of free text responses, we identified several themes in the data that will help librariansand publishers to find, curate, and advertise more useful materials for STEM course

As a result, students’conceptual understanding was enhanced, and their exam grades were improved accordingly.Using smart devices in the class could be distracting, but can be alleviated by asking students touse the smart devices only during the poll question time, and put the smart devices away afterfinishing the poll responses. Overall it is beneficial to integrate the system into engineering classes to enhance classinteraction and participation. However, good implementation can be time consuming, as studentsand instructors need time to adjust to the new technology, there are the technological glitcheswith the system and network access, the login system may be inconvenient, and questions needto be designed cautiously to prevent

Engineering Schoolindicated that there was an overall increase in students' interest in STEM content and STEMfields as a career, and that students found hands-on sessions fun and engaging [10]. Compared to boys, attitudes towards STEM subjects for middle-school girls arebecoming more negative between the seventh and ninth grades and are declining at a faster pace[11]. The current gender gap in girls' attitudes and interests most likely affects their performancein the STEM study and their lifestyle choices associated with important life phases [12]. In termsof career participation, women are less interested in STEM subjects and occupations than men[13]. Post a 2017 five-day all girls STEM camp at West Virginia Institute of Technology, 81%(26/32
