The concept of a course “ecosystem”A conventional way to look at a course is as a piece of a curriculum. It has certain learningobjectives, and if students have achieved them by the end of the academic term, then the coursecan be considered a success. However, there is another, more active, way to view a course: acourse is an opportunity to direct students in their learning. This is a more powerful perspective,because it suggests that students learn by doing, not necessarily following the same path as otherstudents. Also, by following different paths, students can make their own contribution to theinstructor’s

The findings of the study providea deeper understanding of students’ motivational factors for joining 4+1 programs, currenteffective and ineffective recruiting practices, and the various opportunities offered by suchprograms. As poor and lack of diversity continues to be an issue in engineering especially ingraduate programs, 4+1 programs foster an immense potential to attract and increase the numberof underrepresented students in graduate education as well as retain and recruit top candidates forthe doctoral programs.IntroductionWith the ever-changing and evolving industries, professional needs have become morechallenging and demanding, resulting in a wide competency gap between science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM

Females in STEM are mostlyunderrepresented and constantly face recruitment and retention issues.
