In addition, both the new development programs and certifications address theneeds associated with renewable energy and sustainability [14]-[17].The primary goal of the proposed course is to address the concept of "green" workforcedevelopment as it relates to education, training, and, to some extent, the public informationdissemination of information related to renewable energy and sustainability by integrating thesetrends directly into the course curriculum. The students will learn about all forms of renewableenergy including solar, wind, fuel cell, biofuels, geothermal, and other clean-energy-relatedtechnologies as well as the underlying foundations

Detailed information about the computational modules addedcan be found in our previous publications [4, 5, 6], where our team performed several studentsurveys in order to spot the strengths and weaknesses of the newly introduced computationalmodules [7, 8, 9, 10]. Although student surveys are an effective tool when assessing the quality ofthe curriculum [11], student feedback lacks the perspective that the postgraduate experienceprovides [12]. Alumni surveys can be used as a guide to reshape a curriculum, especially formaking it more relevant to the needs of employers [13]. Faculty members tend to hold theopinions of alumni in high regard, since graduates are more informed

When URMs do integrate into the scientific community, such as by formingstudy groups, participating in undergraduate research, and getting involved in clubs ororganizations, their likelihood of completing an engineering degree increases [9], [31]. URMswho leave engineering fields cite a lack of sense of belonging or engineering identity, furtherdemonstrating the importance of becoming integrated into the field [32]–[35].Beyond factors such as these that push URMs away from engineering, research has indicated thatURMs may be pulled towards other careers, particularly by an interest in altruistic and socially-relevant work, which can be difficult to fulfill in a STEM field
