professional opportunities serves a dual role. Alignmentbetween academic offering and professional opportunities is ideal, if not essential. Directlymapping these efforts, in connection to academic research and teaching programs, will showfaculty how their engineering formation is or is not leading to career satisfaction. In other words,is there alignment between what engineers for good want from their careers versus how they arebeing trained in their academic programs?Volunteer opportunities. Mapping relevant volunteer opportunities will probably providedifferent outlets for engagement of engineers for good. These opportunities include volunteeropportunities within companies, i.e. when companies allow employees to work on “passionprojects” regularly

Directly, studentsdisengage, learn less effectively, and lose interest in STEM careers. Engaging Ghanaian studentsin hands-on activities can, however, significantly counter these negative effects [2,3]. Byextension, rote memorization results in minimal technological innovation that Ghanaians canpoint to with pride as a local output. This falsely perpetuates the negative global narrative aroundwhat capabilities young Africans possess.

Using ecosystem metaphors enablesus to ask questions about the quality of pathways, the availability and flow of resources, and thestructures and processes that create and sustain inequalities. Observing that systems are designedto reproduce themselves, Vanasupa and Schlemer argue that “the apparent problems of lack oflearning and lack of diversity are outcomes of a system functioning as designed rather thansomething ‘going wrong’” [6, pp. 6].

Seaman [1] reports the number of graduatestudents taking distance courses in 2016 was nearly 28% higher than in 2012. Online delivery isattractive for its flexibility of time and space to full-time working professionals who wish to earna graduate education while not pausing their careers [2], [3], [4], [5], [6].Graduate engineering is not an exception in the expanded online space. The National Center forEducation Statistics [7] reports that 36% of graduate students in math, engineering, and computerscience took some online courses in 2015-2016, compared to 25.5% in 2011-2012. In the sameperiod and for the same academic disciplines, enrollment in entirely
