Numerousresearch projects have been conducted; and, countless research papers have been published.IoT gained momentum in recent years and became one of the hottest topics in the IndustrialDesign (ID) discipline. IoT transformed the way once acceptable design methodologies intoobsolete. New design disciplines started to emerge to solve complex information architectureproblems. The consumer market is experiencing a growth of products that work by networking“things” with sensors. House appliances with sophisticated sensors help owners by carrying outhouse chores. Autonomous homes control indoor climate while the owners are not present.Smart devices

Thus, this project focuses on ruralcommunities to understand how key stakeholders and organizations support engineering as amajor choice and addresses the following questions:RQ1. What do current undergraduate engineering students who graduated from rural high schools describe as influences on their choice to attend college and pursue engineering as a post-secondary major?RQ2. How does the college choice process differ for rural students who enrolled in a 4-year university immediately after graduating from high school and those who transferred from a 2-year institution?RQ3.

Whenever instructors choose to use these indirectcommunication strategies, they need to provide students with explicit lessons on how nondirective verbal interventions are actually “code” for direct commands.Instructors interviewed in this study mentioned that email communications to some middle-eastern students sometimes seemed less effective, these students preferred face to facecommunication.

integrity of the discipline itself. Of course, nearlyhalf a century of science and technology studies scholarship has demonstrated that engineeringwork is always cultural and political: humans make decisions about what projects to pursue andwhat design factors to prioritize amid a complex set of social, political, and cultural demands[e.g., 15-17].Prior research has speculated a possible connection between the prevalence of this ideology andinequality in engineering. Specifically, depoliticization justifies an unequal status quo in theprofession by prescribing broad avoidance of engagement with concerns like inequality within“real” engineering work. This scholarship argues that depoliticization functions as a mechanismsof inequality reproduction at
