Women of Color numbers grew expeditiously in 2017 to41 percent of the female population and 21 percent of the total U.S. populace [2]. Though thenumbers uptick toward growth, stagnation looms in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering &Mathematics) academically and professionally and in fields similar to engineering.

engaged with course content.IntroductionAssessment is a cornerstone of the educational process, deriving from defined learning objectivesthat outline how students should engage with course material. The importance of assessment tolearning is underscored by the recognition that it serves as a guiding force for both educators andstudents. The clear definition of learning objectives, as discussed in the literature [1-2], aidsinstructors in selecting appropriate course content, planning lectures, designing assignments, andwriting tests. The relevance of assessment to engineering education is further highlighted by therole of accreditation, particularly through the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET). ABET, as detailed in the

Therefore, this study uses predictive modelingof students’ achievement regarding their progress toward desired educational outcomes. Theoverall desired educational outcomes addressed in this study include gains in intellectual andscholarly development, gains in scientific and technological knowledge, gains in personaldevelopment, and gains in vocational development [1]. Improving students’ progress towarddesired educational outcomes will result in graduating competent engineers who can effectivelyadvance the nation's scientific and technological landscape.In this study, the cumulative grade point average (CGPA) indicates students’ academicachievement.

Global seminarsoffered during strategic times in the school calendar and designed by instructors who have keylearning outcomes in mind can effectively meet the multicultural education needs of engineeringstudents.

critical need for qualified engineering graduates to join the workforce. The mostrecent U.S. Bureau of Labor projections through 2020 show significant growth of jobs in thescience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines. Marra1 et al states thatengineering and science fields will grow at more than 3 times the rate of other disciplines.However, in the midst of the demand, institutions of higher education are faced with thechallenge of retaining students within their engineering programs1-5. Student attrition has beenattributed to several factors including: student attitudes and a sense of belonging in discipline,preparation for the course material, and quality of teaching and compatibility with studentlearning styles1,6-10.
