Efforts to recruit more womenfaculty at these institutions are shown by increases at the assistant professor rank from 2008 to2018. However, the increase in the percentage of STEM women faculty in the lower ranks hasnot been consistently reflected in the higher ranks, suggesting that retention remains an issue(Figure 1). This is noted also at other ADVANCE institutions [1]. Overall, the numbers ofwomen faculty in STEM fields at the four partner institutions are significantly lower than the34.5% national average of STEM women faculty at doctorate-granting research universities,particularly at the full professor rank [2].Research indicates women and underrepresented

These have led to massive improvements in every aspect ofthese technologies, especially cost and efficiency [1]. For example, according to the Departmentof Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the cost of a 200kW solar array has declinedfrom 5.57 to 1.72 dollars per watt, a 69% decrease [2].However, there are still many drawbacks to these technologies.

Operating systems allow programmers todefine processes or threads, and the operating system then manages by executing each task for sometime, saving task state, switching to another task, and so on. Some languages like Java have threadconcepts built-in. However, in many scenarios, a way is desired for a programmer to define multipletasks without relying on an operating system or built-in language support.One such scenario involves embedded systems. Although a trend is for many embedded systems to useincreasingly powerful architectures that support operating systems like the popular FreeRTOS[FreeRTOS21

Entrepreneurial mindset (EM) is definedas an “inclination to discover, evaluate, and exploit opportunities" [3, 4], and the way to thedevelop EM in graduates is through education. As an example, a Moroccan university hasintroduced a training-based educational approach for Ph.D. students to improve theirunderstanding of opportunity recognition and its surrounding environment by instilling anentrepreneurship mindset [5]. Many other approaches enhance engineering student abilitiesthrough forms of entrepreneurial-minded learning such as problem-based learning, and project-based learning [6, 7].

Womenare retained within engineering at rates comparable to men and on average they graduate faster.Efforts to understand the causes of these results are mixed and continuing work is necessary intracking student body composition and assessing the reasons behind our success to date.IntroductionWomen have been historically underrepresented in engineering fields.
