]. TheAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and other agencies have providedguidelines for educational institutions [8], through accreditation processes, to provide studentswith the professional and technical skills they need, but programs then need to have an explicitplan for implementation [9].This project was developed to supplement already existing university and DIB efforts to producestudents with robust and specialized knowledge to work in the microelectronics industry. Thiscertification program was developed using prior examples, such as the Six Sigma manufacturingquality certification, a multi-disciplinary certification that is accepted by a variety of fields andcompanies [10]. Non-technical professional skills, such as teamwork
service project, suchas developing a cohesive report and performing applicable engineering computations, oftendirectly aligns with the student learning objectives for the academic exercise. Recognizing theneed to balance technical engineering expertise with “soft skills” associated with teamwork andengineer-client relationships, engineering undergraduate curriculum benefits from theexperiential learning process; yet very few programs promote extensive experiential learningopportunities integrated directly into the engineering curriculum. While indirectly referenced viastudent outcome criteria, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc.

The systemoperates on a 2G communication network where the user sends a command via Small MessageService (SMS) on their mobile phone to a microcontroller which then does the correspondingaction requested. Some of the functionality implemented into the system was the ability to controla

In order for faculty researchers to advance in the fields of engineering, computer science,and information technology, they must gain visibility in the national and international scientificcommunity. Often, due to their underrepresentation, the resulting isolation, and genderedstructural barriers, female faculty have less access to mentoring relationships than their malecounterparts [10], [11], [12], [13].

variability on groundwater rechargeand depletion, identifying regions at high risk of water scarcity.[3]The STEM initiative combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on experimentation to deepenstudents' understanding of water systems and their management. Practical activities, such asmodeling aquifer recharge and measuring water flow rates, allow students to simulate naturalprocesses like infiltration, capillary action, and groundwater movement. These experimentsdemonstrate engineering principles in action and encourage students to design prototypes for waterconservation technologies, including artificial recharge systems and irrigation networks.
