In this way, it’s mostclosely linked with the Honors Ability (our program learning outcomes) Embrace Ambiguity [8].Later components, including the Honors Project and Leadership/Mentorship, engage the Actwith Purpose

The goals of the courses are as follows: 1. The courses will have prerequisites that can be typically met in the freshman year. This will make our courses accessible to students with more diverse backgrounds earlier in their college careers, which will help with inclusion and retention of students

This weighing aims toreduce the importance that a single selection test may have and so provide opportunities tounderrepresented groups in higher education. However, this system has been widely criticizedfor not fulfilling its central aim and worse still in that it increases discrimination against studentswho come from less favored sectors. In Engineering degrees in particular, the SUA calculates thescores by assigning different weights to the ranking, which may vary from 10% to 40%depending on the engineering career considered.This present study seeks to analyze the different sources of information that the SUA systemuses to determine the correlation that

increasing student interest in STEM careers to meet the increasing demands ofthe STEM workforce, researchers and policy-makers advocated for an integrated approach toSTEM education that led to curricular developments such as the Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS) in the United States [1], [2]. The resulting increased demand to improve STEM education around the world has led tonew and varied models of integrated STEM instruction (iSTEM) [3]. Implementation and viewsof integrated STEM differ with regard to which of the STEM disciplines should be the focus,how many of the four STEM disciplines should be present and to what degree they should eachbe emphasized, the main purpose of learning in STEM, whether other non-STEM subjectsshould be

However, as in otherlevels of their educational careers, due to a lack of motivation students sometimes fail to achieveadequate learning/program outcomes [1].In a study by Smilkstein [5], a group of college students was asked to list the stages of thelearning process. The students developed a six-step process, with the number one step beingmotivation. Motivation was considered to be the necessary foundation on which the other stepsfollow and build [1, 10]. Student motivation translates to the students' willingness to participatein the learning process. But it also concerns the reasons or goals that underlie their involvementor non-involvement in

. 3Introduction With rapid changes in technology comes the increased need to integrate newly developedsoftware programs into engineering education. It is critical for students to be exposed to softwarein order to be competitive in the job market and utilize it in their career. Programs, such as RStudio,are implemented in both classrooms and industry settings, and allow for problems to be solvedmore efficiently and reduce the possibility of computational errors. Instructors are facing difficulties in finding the right balance and means of integration whenintroducing these technologies. It is important for instructors to focus on teaching the fundamentaltheories of the course, while using software as a means for efficiency and exposure to
improved CAD training, though again notspecifically targeted towards women.There is some literature which does point towards course design and considerations specifically forwomen and CAD. In a 1999 study, Oritz conducted a follow-up survey for women who had participatedin a course dedicated to women over the age of 30 to teach them skills in CAD and to introduce them tomechanical engineering technology more generally [57]. The study found that, while none of the surveyedparticipants had ended up pursuing a career in mechanical engineering or CAD, the course had improvedtheir confidence with CAD and computers, and they reported that these benefits carried over into thecareers the women had pursued.

year in my undergraduate program, I had no idea what going tograduate school meant. Many students go through their entire educational career notunderstanding how critical research is for all fields of study, not just engineering. I want to helpmotivate these students to aspire to resource-rich universities like Stanford without the fear ofbeing excluded from academic spaces of discourse. I stumbled into being an honor roll student in school because of my passion for solvingproblems and escaping into fantasy worlds through reading. This passion eventually became acuriosity for engineering and making things in high school. I wanted to learn as much as I couldabout anything that seemed remotely interesting.

At the college level, about 22% of Bachelors’ degree recipients are womenand 12% are Hispanic. In the workforce, women account for only 15% of the engineering andarchitecture workforce; Hispanics account for only 9% [3].
