c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 What Factors Influence the Interest of Male and Female Students in STEM (Evaluation)IntroductionTo strengthen our innovation and economy, a focus on STEM (Science Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics) is critical [1]. In the past five years, STEM field occupationshave grown by 10.5%, while non-STEM fields have grown by only 5.2% [2]. Although morejobs are being created in STEM fields, and with the need for more innovation in STEM, there isa lack of people entering the STEM workforce after high school. Few secondary educationstudents are interested in the STEM disciplines [3].The percentage of women in STEM fields in the United States is very small with
transformation in engineering education is the development of MassiveOpen Online Courses (MOOCs) in the last dozen or more years. Researchers have explored theapplications in engineering [5], the challenges of credentials [6], and the opportunities forincreasing knowledge of entrepreneurship [7]. The challenge of retention in MOOCs has beenexplored by several researchers [8]–[10]. The slow MOOC evolution of teaching in the remotespace has been accelerated by COVID in the last year.An important paradigm shift in higher education was described by Charles Vest as the emergingmeta-university [3]. He describes how technology might change education, allowingcollaboration across different domains. In 2020 this grand experiment accelerated as thepandemic forced

The mostcommon form for capstones in engineering are team based, some of which are single disciplinewhile others are multi-disciplinary. Literature on capstone studies have documented how toformulate teams, team group dynamics, and team peer surveys. Given new technologyadvancements, an area for continued study are strategies for how to have student teamscommunicate, collaborate and manage their designs with technology. This paper presents a seriesof trends over a 10-year span on how multi-disciplinary Architectural Engineering (AE) teamscollaborated, interfaced and communicated

This AR-based supplementary learning tool is ready for use in the HVAC class forthis coming spring semester, and the app’s effectiveness will be more comprehensively evaluatedonce students in the class adopt the tool. Conclusion: A well-designed AR learning app willeffectively guide students to perform hands-on experiments related to the HVAC course. Thealternative pedagogy through AR technology also provides an efficient way to deliver practicalexperience online, especially when on-campus lab resources are limited or people are sheltered athome during natural disasters like the COVID-19 pandemic.Key Words: Covid-19, Engineering education

The NGSS make noexplicit mention of ethics in the context of engineering, although the societal and environmentalimpacts regarding engineering are considered to be macroethical themes. Although Coloradoadapted the NGSS in K-12 education statewide, the engineering standard was not adopted.
