Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, incoming international students were admittedinto a special virtual program designed to cater to their needs called Bound. This allowedstudents to take asynchronous classes while being in various time zones. While being at homewas safe and comfortable, it was also difficult for students to make connections with peers andparticipate in extracurricular activities. Despite the virtual nature of most meetings and events,being in a time zone more than 7 hours ahead made it

Given recent and anticipated demographic and political shifts[14], [15] we know that we are going to have to work ever harder to build the STEM talent poolfor tomorrow.Experiential EducationPCEC heavily engrains experiential education into each of our academic programs. Thecurriculum is designed to engage students in high-impact hands-on learning in which they applytheory to solve problems and then prototype and test their solutions through actual productdevelopment. State-of-the-art facilities provide both undergraduate and graduate students withaccess to a wide variety of tools such as machine tools, 3D printers, and advancedinstrumentation. For
. While the most frequent studentresponses to the four questions were skill in math, dedication, focus, and study groupsrespectively, the five emerging factors associated with greater student success were: (1)Participation in effective program components that provide practical engineering experience --project or problem-based courses, research experience, and industry internships; (2) A burningdesire to become an engineer and reap its economic benefits; (3) Taking advantage of allresources provided; (4) Combining motivation and dedication with effective time management;and (5) Involvement in MEP programs. The results are noteworthy in suggesting that the firstand foremost success factor for minorities in engineering is exposure to engineering
STEM collegeeducation. These findings have important implications. First, it is imperative to design STEM outreachprograms with engaging activities that help increase participants' knowledge of STEM, becausesuch programs boost students' confidence in their readiness for relatively challenging STEM highereducation that leads to a STEM career. In addition, the CCSU NSTI program receives significantcontributions from female professionals, exposing students to successful female role models. Thispractice is supposed to have positive impacts on female students' pursuit of STEM,13 but more workis needed to cultivate female high school students' interest and persistence in STEM.

A water project in an engineering-centered “RET-E” program at Rutgers introducesgreen roof design as a project [16]. The RET teachers consider engineering concepts includingwater absorption, mass and weight of the roof, cost efficiency, and thermal conductivity for thedesign exercises. After they’ve designed the roof, the teachers are prompted to amend the designto be usable on an inclined roof.
