Justice40 mandates that at least 40% of thebenefits of certain federal investments must flow to disadvantaged communities, which DoEdefines as “being marginalized, underserved, [or] overburdened by pollution” [1].These requirements present opportunities for universities to provide undergraduate engineeringstudents with career development pathways within the industries targeted by the IIJA and IRA.The opportunities are particularly well-suited for Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), such asAsian American, Native American, Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs) andHispanic Serving Institution (HSIs).

Technology, only 25% of engineering degrees, includingBachelor’s, Master’s, and Ph.D., were awarded to women in US institutions [1]. Theunderrepresentation of women in engineering may be due to a lack of diversity when recruitingstudents, as well as the fact that women have higher attrition rates than their men peers, so-called“the leaky pipeline” [2, 3, 4].Many studies have attempted to understand this high attrition rate of women students inengineering careers. Some suggest that women students have fewer opportunities to develop theirengineering interests or chances to be recognized as engineers compared with their mencounterparts [5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. Others note that women students face additional professionaldevaluation and chilly climates in

The four goals of the program are: 1. SUPERCHARGE Scholars (high school student participants) will increase their knowledge of STEM domains and careers; specifically, those related to renewable and sustainable energy systems, robotics, and technology. Simultaneously, they will increase their understanding of the secondary and post-secondary pathways that lead to attainment of STEM careers. 2. SUPERCHARGE Scholars will increase their

The Global State of theArt in Engineering Education report [3] identified experiential learning opportunities as a keypedagogical feature of engineering education. Perhaps this emphasis stems from experientialeducation’s alignment with engineering design education efforts [4], its potential to support thedevelopment of professional competencies [5], [6], or its ability to produce more innovative,career-ready engineers [7]. Within engineering education, experiential learning opportunities caninclude participation in engineering design and competition teams, study abroad

Additionally, while there arenumerous works that examine the effectiveness of research activities for retention andpersistence of underrepresented minority students, very few programs focus on lower-divisionstudents.

College staff placed student participants in either the Batmen Academy or WonderWomen Academy based on their gender. Researchers gave each student participant a LikertScale survey to test their expectations and experience. The surveys provided insight intostudents’ knowledge of various engineering disciplines, their interests to pursue engineeringcareers, their interests to take more math and science high school courses post completion of theacademies, and their perception of the college environment.

The purpose of the course is to provide a digitaltool for exploration by high school students and their advising network as they seek to gain abetter understanding of what an engineering education and career entails. As the investigationhas progressed, the potential benefit of developing separate courses for “guide and inform” and“prepare” is appearing.

Determiningwhen and if attitudes toward STEM differ between girls and boys is critical if we are tomaximize opportunities for girls to participate in a STEM career. Current studies suggest paradoxical findings: although STEM professionals arepredominantly male, girls generally achieve higher grades in (k-6) mathematics classes whencompared to boys. Higher grades in the early grades in school indicate ability for success inmathematics studies, a strong precursor of success in STEM careers
