SustainableDevelopment Goals (SDGs) and target(s) related to the issue that had been identified.To conduct Part Two, groups visited the databases and repositories hosted at United NationsStatistic Division (UNSD) [18] and identified the relevant dataset(s) that provided informationon the issue they had identified in Part One. They were required to generate graphs, charts and/ortables from the data to support their arguments. Groups could use statistics and data available inother online resources and/or literature, provided that the references are properly cited.Lastly, the groups were required to offer policy solutions and recommendations in Part Three oftheir report.

Overall institutional enrollments ranged from slightlyabove 3,000 undergraduate students to slightly above 39,000. Participating schools aregeographically located in the Eastern (n = 3), Midwestern (n = 1), Southwestern (n = 1), orPacific (n = 2) United States. At six of the seven schools, students declare their majors uponenrollment; at the remaining university, students declare majors at the end of their second yearof coursework. No other data about “population(s) served” (e.g., student demographics,socioeconomic status, etc.) were collected, apart from the change in participation of women andmen within the CS

Entrepreneurial Mindset in the freshmandesign course and utilized a project that involve a fictitious company and focused onidentification and validation of market opportunities in the project [11]. In other efforts,customers were incorporated, but they were either fictional or local. For example, Jensen andSchlegel have modified their first year mini-golf hole design project to require students tointerview potential mini-golf customers. Though students’ feedback about this new version ofthe project has been very positive, they only interviewed other people available on campus suchas their friends and because of this the findings of this effort are very similar to those fromtraditional first year hands-on design projects [12].

At DIT, this created asense of movement that has encouraged more and more individuals to get involved and toimplement changes. The process wherein individuals contemplate and adopt new behaviors isrepresented by the belt (which moves from left to right in this machine) as defined by Prochaska,Redding, and Evers (2002).

mainprogrammatic components aimed at improving the engagement, retention, and graduation ofstudents underrepresented in engineering. These components include: “intrusive” academicadvising and support services, an intensive first-year academic curriculum, community-building(including pre-matriculation summer programs), career awareness and vision, facultymentorship, NSF S-STEM scholarships, and second-year support. Successful implementation ofthese activities is intended to produce two main long-term outcomes: a six-year graduation rateof 60%-75% for Redshirt students, and increased rates of enrollment and graduation of Pell-eligible, URM, and women students in engineering at participating universities.

The daily, weekly, monthly and multi-annualaverage wind speeds were compiled and analyzed for several locations to accommodate the Gulf region,centered on Louisiana. The annual average wind speed these areas are ranging from 4m/s to 6.0 m/s, asshown in in Figure 3a. This is a good wind regime, with a potential of providing power to the WSN mostof the year. Solar radiation levels typically range from 3700 to 5700 Wh/m2/day. The solar radiation
taught by a peer. In thecourses, students are required to use ADS to finish a practical design of a microwave device for acourse project. The main purpose is to show students how to verify their paper designs throughsimulation and to introduce students to practical matters they may see in industry. This includesexploring the impact of microstrip bend and tee artifacts in order to make a practical deviceconform to specific ports on a fixture. Students can adjust their designs to re tune their deviceswhen these practical matters are added. Students also use ADS to explore concepts such asvariability in device dimensions or reverse engineering an existing layout given mask dimensionsand measured S parameters. The ADS projects are easily implemented
in STEM careers is because the culture ofSTEM, especially engineering and analytical areas, is a limiting culture devoid of what femalesseems to prefer, empathy and social caring [8]-[10].However, measuring constructs such as interest is complex because of the interactive anddynamic nature of constructs with one another, that the constructs are usually self-reported, andthat few standardized measurement terms exist [11]. STEM can be considered as one contentarea or four content areas. We often ask our students to describe STEM. They usually answer bystating the letters S, T, E, and M stand for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, butdo not state any concept of what “STEM” means.
