The curriculum for these pathways can be adopted fromcommercial providers or locally developed by school districts. Project Lead the Way (PLTW)Engineering is a curriculum that can be adopted by schools in Texas to fulfill the EngineeringSTEM pathway. This study followed cohorts of PLTW students to determine what impact, ifany
engineering courses, inquiry-based learning in mechanics, and design projects to help promote adapted physical activities. Other professional interests include aviation physiology and biomechanics.Dr. Benjamin David Lutz, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo Ben D.

DegreesIntroduction and BackgroundHistorically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have played an outsized role in theproduction of African American and Black students in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM). Factors that contribute to observed student success in STEM at HBCUsinclude impactful student-faculty relationships and overall sense of belonging on supportivecampuses [1, 2] as well as various STEM initiatives designed to increase undergraduateachievement and retention at these institutions [3]. These practices and the contributions ofHBCUs to fields, such as engineering, have been critical in advancing diversity in educationdespite continued underrepresentation in many fields [4]. As an example, the National ScienceFoundation

First, theyhouse a variety of tools and technologies that aid students doing the work of an engineer.Second, they provide a place in which students can become entrepreneurs [4].In the past, much of the academic makerspace literature focused on asking questionsrelated to how to outfit a makerspace, how to collect data to determine the flow ofpeople and materials in a makerspace, or how to discover best practices in a makerspace[5-7]. More recently, engineering professors, makerspace managers, and educationalresearchers have begun asking questions related to how to design learning experiencesin makerspaces

In K-12 contexts,Vakil [9] explains that “research unequivocally shows that high quality STEM learningopportunities in and out of school are largely denied to racially minoritized students” (p.90).Numerous studies have shown that in university programs, students benefit from previoustechnical experience [10], but women are far less likely to have such experiences because ofgendered stereotypes of engineering processes e.g. computer coding [11].There are also challenges arising from students’ interests and the impact of gender stereotypes oncareer choice.

They can also design engineering projects that specifically address social disparities in access to technology and infrastructure, focusing on solutions that benefit underserved communities. Moreover, advocating for diversity and inclusion within the engineering profession is essential, requiring

The project builds on prior research suggesting thataffective factors including sense of belonging, identity, and self-efficacy play important yet notfully understood roles in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students’academic persistence and successful progression toward careers, and that these factors can proveparticularly influential for individuals from groups that have been historically marginalized inSTEM [1]-[6]. Prior studies conducted as part of this research project have demonstrated impactsof Scholars’ math-related experiences on their developing identities [7] and found that structuresassociated with the scholarship program helped support Scholars’ developing sense of belongingdespite the shift
