Among the eight (8) enrolled students, seven were members of thefirst-year sustainability engineering cohort from 2023 (5 men, 2 women); four of the membersfrom this cohort did not enroll due to schedule conflicts. The other student was an upper divisionstudent (man) not affiliated with the cohort.Some of the goals of the seminar were to raise awareness and comprehension of perspectives thatmay differ of their own, to investigate techniques for promoting JEDI in both personal andprofessional settings, and to create a personal plan for promoting JEDI.

In this work in-progress that began in the Spring of 2024, we present lessonslearned to guide future programs and their evaluations, focusing on both quantitative andqualitative data collection methods.IntroductionEffectively capturing how science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) outreachprograms shape participants’ experiences, perceptions of the program, and attitudes towardengineering requires careful considerations and use of research-based methods. This includescareful planning, attentive implementation, the selection of appropriate tools, and rigorousinterpretation of the resulting data. In this study, we explore the necessary

Moreover, inquiry-based approachesare a cornerstone of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), which emphasize not onlycontent knowledge but also the practices of science and engineering [12]. Research comparinginquiry-based methods with more traditional, teacher-directed approaches indicates that whenstudents tackle authentic, real-world problems, they are more likely to develop the skills neededfor future STEM careers [13].Rural STEM EducationRural schools often confront challenges such as limited resources, geographical
