design training is not widely accessible to the global community, particularlyto people experiencing the challenges that the SDGs are striving to address. Purpose. This manuscript describes the Ignite program created by the Center for Global Women’sHealth Technologies (GWHT) at Duke University, which uses the human-centered design frameworkto apply engineering design concepts to address specific challenges associated with the SDGs. Design/Method. Undergraduate students participate in a design course (BME 290) to learn how tocreate and deliver a technological solution to increase access to light at night, which is a significant chal-lenge in many communities around the globe. A subset of the undergraduate students partnered with anenergy-poor

Engineering Schoolindicated that there was an overall increase in students' interest in STEM content and STEMfields as a career, and that students found hands-on sessions fun and engaging [10]. Compared to boys, attitudes towards STEM subjects for middle-school girls arebecoming more negative between the seventh and ninth grades and are declining at a faster pace[11]. The current gender gap in girls' attitudes and interests most likely affects their performancein the STEM study and their lifestyle choices associated with important life phases [12]. In termsof career participation, women are less interested in STEM subjects and occupations than men[13]. Post a 2017 five-day all girls STEM camp at West Virginia Institute of Technology, 81%(26/32

A combinedanalysis of data mining and classical statistical techniques was then applied to the integrated dataset. In addition, data from learning management systems have been used to examine thepredictors for engineering students’ academic performance in an entirely online learningenvironment [34]. New data systems can also be built using new data sources. For example, in astudy on introductory programming classes [35], researchers developed an online codingenvironment capturing time-stamped keystroke-by-keystroke data and embedded it in thelearning management system so that students could receive instant

problem to be solved by improving the quality of face-to-faceinteraction between individual students and individual faculty [1]. The Challenges of AcademicAdvising (The Chronical of Higher Education, 2010) discusses that a function of academicadvising is to help students become independently functioning adults who take responsibility fortheir own progress [2]. In this study, a proactive advising method has been implemented to first-year civil engineering students in an introduction to civil engineering course, using face-to-faceadvising practices and spreadsheet technology. Proactive advising involves a variety of intensiveinteractions with students to increase probabilities of success, including the deliberateintervention to enhance student
