further valued and supported by university administrators.IntroductionThere is a persistent concern surrounding representing diverse groups in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in the United States [1]. Additionally, ABET’saccreditation is aimed at producing graduates who are prepared to enter the global workforcewith the ability to succeed and thrive in diverse and inclusive environments [2]. STEMprofessions require imagination and innovation which is easier to achieve when persons withdiverse backgrounds and experiences collaborate and work toward a common goal. Theseunderrepresented minority students face special challenges in these fields [3]. These challengesrequire an asset-based, cultural capital approach to analyze

They also learn that solutions to similar challenges in the U.S.may, or may not, be suitable in another country.Our research-based institution in the southeastern United States offers a three-creditinternational studies course to first year engineering students, followed by a two-week earlysummer trip abroad. The course contains learning objectives in cultural awareness, global aspectsof the engineering profession, the impact of politics, technology, society, education and theenvironment on engineering practice in various countries, and the importance of culturaldifferences in the practice of engineering.Students keep

These benefits are measured by the amount oftransparency students perceive in the course, their self-ratings of academic confidence, sense ofbelonging, and improved mastery of skills that employers value, and direct assessment of thestudents’ work.The most conclusive experimental evidence to date on the benefits of transparent assignmentscomes from a large-scale pilot study of seven minority-serving institutions, including 1,180students, 35 faculty members, and 61 courses, of which most were introductory-level courses and12 were intermediate-level [2].

The DLCs will be anopportunity for beginning and future faculty to engage in learning about and critiquingdiscipline-based education research through formal workshops facilitated by faculty in thediscipline. The framework will provide curricular resources to help faculty facilitate theseprograms, thus, lowering barriers to
strong science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) workforce is essential and critical in advancing the economy and society of the future. But the U.S continues to trail the world in math and science. And also the number of U.S students pursuing a STEM career or educating is decreasing as mentioned in [1] – [3]. A change in the way math is taught and presented in the classroom is urgently needed. Instructors need to be able to engage the students in learning by communicating that the study of mathematics and its objective is not to study math for math sake but to be able to apply it as a tool to solve the world’s complex and essential problems. The topic of sustainable energy is no longer a topic reserved for scientists and
