Outcomes targeted include innovation, creativity,collegiality, entrepreneurship and broadening of the STEM talent pool [1].”The team has made significant progress in the first and second years of the program [2-3]. TheA+E team has advanced into the third phase (approximately halfway through the three-year award)of the NSF IUSE grant.

Research in the past decade hasshown that spatial skills can predict STEM success among students, with findings showing thatspatial skills can have a role in increasing the likelihood of obtaining advanced STEM degrees[3]. Sorby and colleagues have also found that improving spatial skills through interventioncourses can impact the introductory STEM course grade performances of students who take theintervention courses [1]. Specifically, the study has shown such impact on grade performance incourses like Physics and Intro to Engineering, in addition to impact on STEM course GPAs [1

It falls upon engineeringeducators to foster inclusive environments where every voice matters, diversity is celebrated as adriver of creativity, and fairness guarantees equal access to opportunities for everyone.

This approach to teaching VLSI has a lot of shortcomings: (1) students withthe desire to design a microprocessor from scratch have to delay gratification for several years, (2)students must appreciate and have a strong aptitude for each step of the VLSI design process insequential order, (3) most universities do not offer the full sequence of courses needed, and (4)exposure to skills needed is usually not available

However, this assumption of courseflexibility as a necessary characteristic of online education has recently been challenged asproblematic, and in fact prohibitive of an optimal learning experience [9]. For example,asynchronous learners often feel confused, requiring additional self-evaluation efforts to helpmitigate said confusion [1]. The identification of what synchronous elements matter most can helpinstructors to decide how to allocate their scarce time resources when designing and running onlinecourses, and help students to succeed at learning while avoiding lower-impact synchronousobligations in online coursework.Further, while online education has the potential to improve access to STEM learning forhistorically
