]. This has been attributed to several factors, including poor academic self-efficacy [2], inadequate pre-college preparation [3], [4], and lack of sense of belonging in thefield [5]. Gender inequality in science and engineering is a persistent issue and warrants closeexamination of potential innovations to improve representation [6, 7]. The Women in Scienceand Engineering (WISE) Honors program at Stony Brook University has been in existencesince1993, when it was funded by the National Science Foundation to increase the participation ofwomen in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). When initial externalfunding ceased, the University institutionalized the WISE program. WISE Honors is currentlyhoused within the College of
institutionscontinue to push their goals and strategic plans of increasing the science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce. Attempts to increase STEM enrollment atUniversities consistently include the same concepts; bridge programs, learning communities,research experiences and group projects [1]. While attempting to increase undergraduateretention of (URM), these experiences often focus solely on first-year students. In order to meettheir needs, diverse students must matriculate through the Colleges and Universities via thepipeline from secondary education to employment. NSF [2] reports show the attrition rates forblack and Hispanic or Latino students in STEM fields from 2007 to 2013 is low. When lookingat all the students earning

analytics can be used in some academic activities,one of them being prediction of performance or behavior, which relates to the field of spatialvisualization skills. There is a variety of tests that have been applied to measure spatialvisualization skills of students, and there are numerous studies that have collected and analyzedinformation regarding demographics, spatial visualization skills, and academic performance [3 -5]. Of interest is the study where spatial visualization skills is something that has been linked toabilities to do engineering and technology work; subsequent studies have provided a relationshipbetween the spatial visualization skills of students and their performance in engineering courses,particularly for engineering graphics

The five most frequently reported conceptsfor innovation within the transcripts were “innovative”, “technology”, “industry”, “initiative”and “future", and the most frequently reported highest related concepts for engineering were“engineer”, “technical”, “designing”, “mechanical”, “knowledge” and “project”. The top five related concepts were compared to the strength of the ranked association toinnovation and engineering, with no pattern detected. However, comparing most related conceptsbetween self-described innovative and non-innovative positions demonstrated more connectionto qualitative assessment: While both groups shared “technology”, “development”, “industry”and “focus” as four out of the five most closely

The build group created astress free environment where I felt that I could fail countless times and it would be OK. With apositive attitude I can keep on going and eventually succeed and learn what I want to do.Engineering is about experimentation and creating new products, ideas, and technology. Butwith that comes failure. I feel that school conditions students to become afraid of failure and tostick to what their comfort zones are and follow a path that is guaranteed to work. Butengineering needs risk taking to continue to innovate. In short, the build group made me morecomfortable with messing up
