S-STEM students have to meet a GPArequirement to be eligible for the program. Because of this, the subset of SoE students that areeligible for S-STEM are academically talented and more likely to be retained. Nevertheless, thepositive retention findings for S-STEM encourage us to seek ways to provide similar support(mentoring, etc.) to a larger number of students.AcknowledgementsThe authors gratefully acknowledge the support of the National Science Foundation under grantDUE-1742112.References1. “NSF Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM),” NSF.

If the country that they will be traveling to uses a language other than English, thesedays may focus on teaching basic conversational language skills. The language lessons arehighly interactive in that they rely on students speaking to each other rather than focusing onreading competence. These periods also include presentations, sometimes by guest speakers,about the history, people, food, customs, religion

IntroductionIn this era of fast changing technologies and interdisciplinary work culture, engineers need tobe well equipped with a wide variety of skills that will enable them to be creative, effectivecommunicators, proficient at performing analytical tasks, and lifelong learners. Along theselines, ABET defined student outcome 7 as “an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge asneeded, using appropriate learning strategies” [1]. Self-reflection is one such appropriatelearning strategy wherein individuals assess their own knowledge, skills, and learningprocesses. Self-reflection provides opportunities to recognize areas for improvement in one’sown learning, to consider ways to pursue improvement, and to monitor one’s

Of the thirty graduates, nineteen havegraduated as mechanical engineers, eight as biomedical engineers, two computer engineers, andone as construction technology (an engineering technology major). The major from the MarianUniversity has a wide range, with sixteen math majors, six chemistry majors, four biologymajors, and one major each from business, computer science, theology, and Spanish. Other than the variety in majors, the retention, graduation, six year graduation, and jobplacement rates are all very high.

The Morrill Act of 1862 established engineering as a major atinstitutions currently known as PWIs. From the very conception of the engineering collegiateculture in 1862, minoritized groups have been ostracized and unwelcomed. Engineering as amajor was not created with Communities of Color in mind. Studies have shown that a diverseengineering faculty contributes to improving access and success of diverse students [3].Considering this, it is important to address the effects of the lack of minority

Furthermore, theexpanding agenda to enrich Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)education is often proposed as a solution to educational inequities (Bullock, 2017). While we areencouraged by efforts to strengthen the PCEE infrastructure we propose more robustconsiderations are necessary to examine how these investments of resources will not deepenongoing inequities, particularly as STEM courses suffer from an exclusionary culture (Carter etal., 2019; Nasir & Vakil, 2017). In this paper, we will explore critical consciousness as a conceptual framework that canassist pre-college engineering educators in advancing equitable PCEE.

The researchorganizations hire mechanical engineers who can design innovative/complex devices generally usedin unconventional areas, such as space exploration, intelligent robots, advanced vehicles, etc. Manyengineers who have advanced degrees tend to use the commercial computer tools along with self-developed modules to improve certain functionality which the commercial tools could not solve undera particular environment. Ironically, when the technology of “self-developed” modules becomematured, they often be included by the software company in their new updated versions.
