IntroductionEngineering plays a vital role in addressing real-world challenges; however, a significantgender imbalance persists in the field, particularly in disciplines such as electricalengineering. Nationally, women constitute only 15.5% of electrical engineering graduates, astark contrast to their representation in environmental (57.8%) and biomedical engineering(51.5%) programs [1][2].

and tenure track (TT) and non-tenure track (NTT) positions. The number ofadjunct faculty in the United States has significantly increased in recent decades - the increasehas even led to coining the term "adjunctification" as a descriptor of the growing reliance onNTT faculty [1]. In 2021, two-thirds of all faculty members at U.S. universities held contingentappointments, a stark contrast to fewer than half in 1987 [2]. This trend has led to a decline inTT positions, with 24% of faculty members holding such positions in 2021, down from 39% in1987.The growing dependence on NTT faculty has not resulted in corresponding levels ofcompensation or institutional support.

Personal and social identities and theirintersections such as race, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status, mold how people engagewith the curriculum, each other, and perceive their place within the engineering discipline basedon power differentials [1], [2]. Whiteness in engineering is not simply about the demographicmakeup of the profession; it encompasses the underlying assumptions, values, and practices thatdefine what is considered "normal" and "acceptable" in engineering spaces [3]. These normsinfluence hiring practices, workplace culture, educational curricula, and even the way problemsare framed and solved [1], [4]-[8].It is without question that predominantly white institutions and corporations

Although theannual number of total BS engineering graduates did increase over the last two decades, from66,852 in 2002 to 139,482 in 2022 [9], an increase of 209%, this increase was primarily fueledby the expansion of existing programs and the creation of new programs [10].

Further,we provide application examples that could be used in a typical introductory parallel programingcourse. We argue that HPCaaS platform like ASETS can significantly benefit the users of HPCin the cloud as if their program is running on a dedicated hardware in their own laboratory. Thisis especially advantageous for students and educators who need not to deal with the underlyingcomplexities of the cloud.1.

According to statistics, women earn 57% ofundergraduate degrees, but only 18% of baccalaureates in engineering.2-3 These trendsare a cause for concern because occupational gender segregation fuels the wage gapbetween men and women, which perpetuates gender inequalities.4 Additionally, a dearthof women in engineering represents the potential loss of human capital that could help toadvance scientific and technological discovery.5In response to this
