positive, both in terms of student feedback and perceived effect on studentperformance.IntroductionCapstone projects are a common way to culminate an undergraduate engineering education andin fact are required for accreditation. As outlined by ABET (Accrediting Board for Engineeringand Technology) in General Criterion 5: Curriculum, students should have “a culminating majorengineering design experience that 1) incorporates appropriate engineering standards andmultiple constraints, and 2) is based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work”(ABET, 2021). Capstone Projects have many advantages, but they can get off track for a varietyof reasons. This can fuel disparate results, both technically and in terms of students

The instructors for this course can also adjust some topics to make some readingand assignments relate to technology and engineering.Spring Activities - Students often have academic difficulty in the first semester and can benefit from follow up interactionin their second semester. Realizing this, an additional course was created for spring. Rather than professionaldevelopment, this course had a focus on various engineering topics as requested by the twenty enrolled students.

Disparities inrepresentation have an impact on women’s median income, the quality of STEM-based solutions,and the diversity of women in leadership roles and continue pervasive narratives about whobelongs in STEM. Athletics and STEM have been seen as vehicles to mobilize studentseconomically and to develop their valuable lifelong skills such as time management, cross-culturalteam-building, problem-solving, competitiveness, and resolve.

Session T1D4 Students Eager to Use an EXCEL-Based Tool to Boost Their Grades Nripendra N Sarker Mohan Ketkar Department of Engineering Technology College of Engineering, Prairie View A&M University, Prairie View, TX 77446 AbstractA simple Excel based program was developed to assess various ABET criteria in courses. Thisprogram also processes the numerical grades of students during a semester which greatlysmoothens the processing of mid-semester and
advancement; and (3) gaining access to high quality education. Prior research highlights how international students face challenges linked to federal restrictions and policies that potentially hinder their academic success, all of which were heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic. Information such as this raises concern around the current state of undergraduate international STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) students in the U.S. and access to resources (i.e. scholarships, fellowships, internships, full-time jobs, etc.), especially compared to their domestic counterparts. This insight is particularly true for individuals seeking to obtain a degree within STEM (science, technology

This indicates the need for more programsthat encourage exposure and education for minoritized students within computing andcomputer science at this critical pre-higher education junction in order to improve recruitmentand retention at the university level and beyond.Scholarships Scholarships offer opportunities for students to pursue higher education and attendconferences in their field. They provide support in one of the most crucial ways to overcomebarriers to computing: financial support. We found numerous scholarships for minoritizedstudents in engineering, computing and computer science, and technology.
