In that context, it is important for female students to see successful female STEMentrepreneurs for both symbolic as well as functional reasons [46], [51]. Symbolically, exposureto female STEM entrepreneurs can signal to female students that STEM entrepreneurship is notonly for men and that women can be successful in entrepreneurship. Functionally, femalestudents are likely to pay greater attention to female STEM entrepreneurs and take an interest inhearing about the challenges they have faced and how they have integrated the seeminglyconflicting social roles of being an entrepreneur and a woman.

An early opportunity for name and face recognition was seen as important for thestudent’s identification with the college.Disadvantages were also evident in this course structure. Students interested in engineering butwho had not yet decided on a major were nonetheless asked to choose a freshman course fortheir first semester at UTA.

However, the HET is rarely studied below the graduatelevel.

As a result, the main method of challenging anypotential issues with academic integrity is to randomize the problems.In an in-person class, all students would be provided the same problems with the same numbersbut potentially in a different order along with randomized seating. However, for the online exam,students received the same problem but with variations to the loading locations and values. Thiswould still test students on the same objectives at the same level of difficulty but would deterstudents from trying to direct copy.

Thus,it is suggested that a gap exists in most engineering curricula and it requires to be filled with adesign based analysis approach.
