Problems areoften presented free of broader contexts in which the concepts might apply, and they ask studentsto employ complex math and physics concepts to scenarios that might bear little, if any,resemblance to the real world or their lived experiences. Such issues can present challenges forstudents as they struggle to understand the relevance or application of the concepts they arelearning both within their lives and the engineering profession more broadly. Without makingmeaningful connections between their lived experiences and the content they are learning,engineering students can lose motivation and expectations for success in their academic andprofessional careers (Kosovich, Hulleman, Phelps, & Lee, 2019).One way that

Inaddition, the revisions to ABET criterion 5 (curriculum) now include the need to address DEI [2].To accomplish part of the curricular component, we have been working on hands-on activities thatare scalable from a first-year program to upper level courses in the Fred DeMatteis School ofEngineering and Applied Science (SEAS) at Hofstra University, a midsized, private universitylocated in Hempstead, NY. Hofstra is situated in a region that represents a very diverse communityand the students in our engineering programs mirror this diversity. For example, SEAS boasts a63.7

Indeed, persons with disabilities are equally likely to enter engineeringmajors, but graduate with engineering degrees at lower rates. Similarly, only 65% of personswith disabilities who have an engineering or science degree are employed in STEM, versus 85%of persons without disabilities [9]. I thus examine students’ and professionals’ intentions to stayin engineering in the future.MethodsEngineering Students: ASEE Diversity & Inclusion SurveyThe ASEE Diversity and Inclusion Survey (ASEE-DIS) includes 1,729 students enrolled in anengineering program in one of eight US colleges or universities. 4 A

IntroductionIn today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, STEM education is the foundation forfuture advancements, economic growth, and societal progress. It prepares students for careers infields like engineering and computer science. It equips them with the skills necessary to thrive ina technology-driven world. It also fosters innovation and problem-solving abilities to addressglobal challenges like the energy crisis, climate change, and healthcare. According to the Bureauof Labor Statistics, employment in STEM areas in the United States is projected to grow by 9.5%from 2019 to 2029, which is a much faster growth compared to
Summer Camps canalleviate this concern by exposing participants from diverse backgrounds to the topical areas,encouraging participating students to pursue STEM-based careers, and helping the nation meet theneed for a STEM-focused workforce. Thus, given the need to ensure a diverse set of studentparticipants in summer camps, including women and underrepresented minorities, and the ability ofSummer Camps to alleviate the problem, this research determines the diversity of STEM summercamp attendees in the US over two decades. The three-staged research included sample selection,parameter development, and descriptive statistical analysis. Sample selection was dictated byfactors such as the ASEE article and publication date (in twenty years). Parameter

Yet, very little researchhas been done on students with invisible disabilities [5].A dearth of knowledge on graduate students with disabilities was identified in a 2017 literaturereview [3]. Subsequently, the gap in the literature on university students with disabilities inresearch roles was identified in a 2019 literature review [1]. It is essential to include allindividuals who can contribute to research, especially those from diverse backgrounds andabilities [10]. Yet, individuals with disabilities continue to be excluded from academia. Thecurrent literature
