Significance of Scholarship Programs in STEMIntroductionIn this Work-in-Progress paper, we share our ongoing work with an NSF Scholarships in STEM(S-STEM) program related to an iteration of analysis that looked across specific aspects in amore summative manner than our typical analyses during the five years of the project that aremore formative. As the project will soon enter an extension into a sixth year to use existingscholarship funds, we took this opportunity to begin to reflect on overarching goals toward thedevelopment and submission of a new S-STEM proposal to continue this work.

control bionic limbs using electrical signals that are generated from musclecontractions through a process called electromyography (EMG). However, these bionic limbshave not been around long and the costs associated with them are still too high to make themaccessible to those who really need them.This student research project utilizes recently acquired skills in Electro-Mechanical EngineeringTechnology to lower the price of a bionic hand. The mechanical parts that make up the hand aredesigned using 3D CAD software and then created on a 3D-printer. Using 3D-printing, the handcan easily be scaled to any size much more cheaply than using traditional methods. The projectalso lowers cost by designing and creating its own EMG circuit.

evolved over the years, becoming morehands-on and project-based to allow students to develop, innovate and learn from the designprocess [4]. However, many curricula still need to implement programs or courses for students toactively engage with global engineering and discover how cultures, settings, and ideologies canimpact engineering and design. There have been attempts to incorporate these concepts intohumanitarian engineering activities to help students consider marginalized groups and encourageempathy [4,5]. While these programs allow students to think about others, there is still a gap thatneeds to be filled for students to gain a global perspective on engineering design, especially inlow-resource settings.

The computer faculty made decisions about what was important to address in the firstyear of the curriculum, and what projects to use to keep students engaged in and excited aboutthe field of computing. Since the studio model radically departs from the single instructorclassroom lecture model, multiple professors were utilized in the same freshman studio course,each bringing in their own unique areas of expertise.Along with the studio model, electronic portfolios were implemented for the assessment ofstudent learning, as a benchmark that students must pass to advance to
