frameworksuggests that school counselors can play a pivotal role in promoting equity within STEM. Thereare three stages of capacity building against which counselor skill development efforts andpractices could be examined: 1) counselors’ awareness and knowledge of the professionalSTEM landscape and career pathways, 2) counselors’ communication about STEM fields withstudents, and 3) counselors’ skill development toward cultivating more diverse STEM talentconsidering individual factors and sociocultural contexts. Together the three stages suggest thatschool counselors must consider factors which might lead to inequities in STEM by gaining anawareness of STEM specific equity issues. Such awareness will allow school counselors toengage in communication and

UpdateAbstractThis paper provides an update on our research exploring the college experience of science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) college students with attention-deficit/ hyperactivitydisorder (ADHD). Individuals with ADHD make up a growing fraction of college students.Despite their increasing college presence, little is known about their college experiences andacademic success. This project involves three sequential studies guided by the social model ofdisability. Study 1 is a quantitative analysis investigating the relationship between pre-collegefactors, college experiences, and academic success of college students with ADHD. Study 2 is ascoping literature review of the college experiences of these students, and Study 3 is aqualitative

In this study, we develop a fieldexperiment designed to increase entrepreneurial proclivity in undergraduate women studyingSTEM fields. Entrepreneurial proclivity is defined as the extent of an individual’s (1) intentionsto engage in entrepreneurship, (2) efforts to acquire knowledge about entrepreneurship, and (3)entrepreneurial actions. There is a general agreement in the literature that women are less likely than men to beinvolved in entrepreneurship [1], [2]. In 2016, women were majority owners for 38% of firms,and this ownership was concentrated primarily in non-STEM retail and service industries [3],[4

MakerspaceAbstractAcademic makerspaces are physical locations that help support engineering classroominstruction and provide exposure to workplace skills like prototyping and design. Makerspaceproponents have championed equitable makerspaces as sites for increased access to tools andknowledge in science and engineering [1]. However, this promise is yet to be realized, with anemerging body of work critiquing the notion they are delivering equitable benefits to all students[2]–[4]. This literature finds that access is not sufficient for true democratization, which cannotbe reached without the full participation of a diverse student population. Hagerty et al.

Many design experiences happen in the first-year and senior year courses,though increasingly they are being incorporated into courses along the entire program [2]–[4].Instructors must make many decisions when developing design challenges, not all of which areclear. For instance, in senior capstone design, faculty commonly contend with ABETrequirements, ethics, project management, appropriate scope, appropriate technical content, andteam dynamics [5]–[7]. With
