opportunities in which to remove barriers for womenwithin the engineering and computing discipline by understanding their experiences and participation in the fields.I. INTRODUCTION Recent reports from the National Science Foundation (NSF) have indicated that while the number of women in Science and Engineering (S&E) related jobs continue to grow, the group remains underrepresented in the S&E workforce relative to their overall presence in the population [1]. The lack of women in STEM transcends traditional narratives on the importance of broadening participation and increasing STEM diversity because of the nuanced issues women face in a male dominated field. Issues concerning women feeling unwelcomed in STEM begin at the academic level and
societal ramifications, inclusion of broad user bases, andperspectives of diverse team members? The National Center for Science and EngineeringStatistics [8] reported that in 2017, the Science and Engineering (S&E) workforce consisted ofthe following: 29% women, 5.6% Black or African American, 7.5% Hispanic or Latino, 19.8%Asian, and 65% White. How can representation of the user base be accurately represented whensuch representation is not present in the career fields (see Table 1)? The recruitment, retention,and inclusivity of underrepresented groups within STEM education programs is a problem wecontinue to face, but if the representation in the classroom is skewed, then the demand forenlightenment and acknowledgement of diverse users must
either a DC motor or Stepper motor to determine torque and/or speed relationships in a weightlifting experiment. This latter experiment introduced auxiliary power requirements and motor controllers. This module was introduced fairly early in the course since most students needed to use some form of motor as a control mechanism in their open-ended project. Inclusion at this point of the course allowed students the chance to develop familiarity with the motors in line with the design schedule. Learning the applications of each motor type helped the student select appropriate motor(s) for their open-ended project.Module 4: Aerosol Concentrations.

observations. Finally, complexity had the lowest number ofobservations at 18; this constitutes only 8% of the total observations. The results showed that average scores in all 3 phases of the course and the final score havedecreased in recent years. The results of Welch's T-Test demonstrate that Spring 2019's averagehas been significantly lower than all other previous semesters. The box plots also demonstrate thatthe median results for each phase and final score of Spring 2019 are outside the box range of someprevious semesters. This suggests that there might be a significant difference between them, butthis result needs more investigation to understand how significant the difference may be.Additionally, the boxes leading to Spring 2019 have

[2] Inaddition, the demand for skilled STEM workers is projected to increase. Although many effortshave been taken to increase STEM interest and STEM career pursuit, shortages in the STEMfield continue to exist. STEM fields do not attract and retain enough workers from youngergenerations.[3],[4],[5] As a result, the current and estimated supply to the STEM workforce doesnot meet the growing demand.

entrepreneurs' definitions, but mentioned only afew times throughout student interviews, for example, Participant 42 stated; "Entrepreneurialmindset is really just creating a new form of mental habits that will allow you to see the biggerpicture of things to make connections and values through what your work is." However, it seemsthat some of the more frequent codes such as Innovation and Business Skills were nothighlighted by entrepreneurs in previous studies. This could be due to students' lack ofexperience in the field and the fact that students are only learning about entrepreneurial mindsetin the classroom, as opposed to entrepreneurs who have real world experience with the benefitsof EM.Faculty in Zappe et al.’s study said that they believe that

Kitatoi’s resignment to “just passing by” and her lack ofconnectedness with the institution are worrisome.

There are strong evidences form the literature that including the soft skillssuch as management, entrepreneurship and leadership can boost the retention and enrollment inengineering programs. Entrepreneurship education has been found to boost GPA and retentionrates of the engineering students, provides the students with the skills and attitudes needed toinnovatively contribute to the existing organizations and pursue their own ventures, and has thepotential to address current and anticipated workforce demands. We strongly believe that byintegrating entrepreneurship into engineering courses, specifically in the ones that are
