In a study focusing on thesuccess of Black males at PWIs, the author highlights DDEPs as one mechanism contributing tothe positive school experience for Black students (Hardnett, 2023). The AUC, aconsortium-based DDEP, asserts that students who complete the program graduate with twodegrees from both institutions (Jackson, 2007). Regarding Morehouse students' opportunities toearn an engineering degree through the DDEP, Joseph (2023) views it as a means to reform andinnovatively teach engineering, aiming to revolutionize HBCU to R1 graduate pathways.

A primary purpose of hands-on activities is to provide learners with actual experiences that allow them to apply engineeringskills to reinforce knowledge and directly observe the outcomes of their efforts, which leads todeeper learning.In this study, a hands-on approach called, the Experiment-Centric Pedagogy (ECP) wasimplemented. This pedagogy has been found to actively engage learners by utilizing affordable,safe, and portable electronics in various educational settings (classrooms or laboratories). ECPcombines problem-solving exercises and constructive learning methods with a hands-on,portable multifunction tool that can be used in place of

field trips, laboratory work, and traveling to museums, aswell as the distances between rural schools and these resources, challenge schools in providingSTEM education. [2]In West Virginia, a predominately rural state (34 of 55 counties are rural), more STEM outreachefforts are concentrated in urban counties, as shown in Figure 1 and Table 1 from Coltogironeand Kuhn et al.[1]Here, we see that STEM outreach is poor in rural areas and that average STEM initiatives inurban areas of the state are about 3 times that of rural counties. Many of the rural counties haveless than two STEM initiatives.In addition, rural students are 10 times more likely to prefer working in rural settings[3], whichcreates a win-win situation in training rural students in

On top of it, this COVID-19 emergency has put new barriers of communication byenforcing ‘educational distancing’. Educational distancing is not just ‘physical distancing’! It includes‘social distancing’ as well on a live college campus.

Students with entrepreneurial experiences chose “satisfying a need in a market” as atop reason for entering an entrepreneurship career (Duval-Couetil et al., 2012).
