detrimentaleffects in the racial, classist, and gendered dynamics involved in the success of science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students at their universities. Overall, K-12STEM education has had a long history of tracking and creating inequities in supporting youth toprepare for post-secondary opportunities (Calabrese Barton & Yang, 2001). As STEM universityeducators, we often assume this failure of students means they are individually not college-ready(Warter-Perez et al., 2022). Interventions have been created and engaged with at various levels.Still, despite the hard work of implementation, these efforts have not resulted in dramaticimprovements to STEM educational ecosystems or student engagement.

In the quarantine box activity,students worked as mechanical engineers to innovate a simple design for a box that wouldprevent human contact with a ‘pathogen’ while allowing manipulation of that pathogen. Thesanitary mask and biohazard suit activities allowed the camp participants to work as biomedicalengineers by asking them to design systems to keep healthcare professionals from becominginfected by the disease. In these activities, students learned about the importance of lab safety,simple thermodynamics, and how to test and redesign to achieve maximum efficacy.Additionally, students applied concepts from computer and electrical engineering by buildingand testing

Theseprojects bring together experts from divergent disciplines to collaborate towards common goals,making the team set up a critical determinant of success. While much attention has been givento factors like team composition, size, and tenure, the impact of team members’ personality traitson overall team effectiveness remains unexplored.Interdisciplinary Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) projects involvecollaboration across multiple disciplines to address
progress toward desired educationaloutcomes of high-achieving engineering students. 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.

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.
