in Environmental Engineering and Water Resources Management(USE4WRM), an S-STEM grant is to increase the recruitment and retention of the academicallytalented students majoring in ENE and WRM programs, but also those who are in need offinancial assistance through scholarships and other required academic support. USE4WRM aimsto ensure the contribution of the workforce from the disadvantaged communities to thesespecialized fields. It is designed to support the qualified students in academic performance,persistence, graduation, job placement, and entry into graduate schools.The USE4WRM program will recruit student cohorts of 14 high school students ( 7 males and 7females), broken into the ENE (8 students) and WRM (6 Students) programs in its
predictive model to guidelearners with low creativity to exchange ideas with other students and improve theircreative thinking skills.This study is ongoing and will evaluate the stability and accuracy of the predictivemodel in the future. Moreover, a more in-depth investigation will be performed toexamine different personality traits and learning behaviors.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported in part by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST),Taiwan, ROC, under Grant MOST 103-2511-S-224 -004 -MY3, MOST 104-2511-S-224-003-MY3, and MOST 105-2628-S-224-001-MY3.Reference[1].

increasing their representation in the non-traditional fieldsof study and are becoming more knowledgeable of technology’s multi-facet components,there still remains significant under-representation of females in areas such as IndustrialTechnology. Nelson (2004) 33 indicated that lack of female representation in technologymay be due to a threefold purpose: “(1) women of the world lack knowledge oftechnology, (2) technology alienates and often exploits women, and (3) decisions abouttechnology are made without women’s voices” (p.2). This is reflected from Mayer’s(1995)27assertion that females comprise only 30 percent of the industrial workforce. Thisglobally illustrates moderate but consistent initiatives. The U. S.

Based on reviews of the fire literature,andunderstanding of the use of the space, and a survey of office plans, students selected an officeload of 52 kg/m2 as a representative fuel load. Realizing that flames were still observed at thecollapse time of 102 min, students estimated a burn time for the 96th floor of WTC1 of 120 min.Finally, students used the estimated office load, total floor area of 2873 m2, and estimated burntime to approximate an overall burning rate of 21 kg/s. Scale analysis was then used in order todesign a small scale office load producing similar dimensionless local and overall burning ratesand burn times. The students designed 150 mm x 150 mm x

Studentsbrowsed for possible topics for a couple of weeks and then proposed one based oninstructor’s feedback. The project concluded with a short presentation of the work infront of the class and a brief written report. In order to increase class interest in theproject, the presentation took the form of a competition and the winner(s) were chosen bythe class, who judged the presentations according to preset criteria. Student feedback wasrecorded and quantized, and the peer evaluation and feedback were returned to thepresenters. The winners received small prizes in recognition of their
