workingcollaboratively to integrate an innovative robotics curriculum into science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses in the Boston Public Schools and other raciallydiverse and economically disadvantaged Massachusetts school districts. The project issponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) program, Information TechnologyExperiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST). The project targets 7th and 8th grade STEMteachers, with students participating during summer and after school. The project addresses theurgent need to enhance student interest and performance in STEM courses, while fosteringskills that are important prerequisites for IT careers. In the near term, the project is helpingMassachusetts schools and students meet statewide
technology within the School of Construction. As a practitioner, Ms. Bounds has used Revit and BIM to improve interior design processes. Throughout her career, Ms. Bounds has worked closely with architects, engineers and facility managers and is keenly aware of the extensive data and coordination that large projects require. The aim of her research is to leverage BIM’s capabilities in the interior architectural field and to train a future generation of interior designers to integrate their work with those of the architectural, engineering and facility management professions.

Were engineering educatorsto better recognize the importance of these relationships and contribute to creating such acommunity, they could help to ensure engineering students were able to thrive academically andemotionally.C. Absence of Harassment and Expression without FearIn the United States, harassment is a growing problem in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) fields [14]. Harassment can be verbal, physical, or sexual and include anyunwelcome or unfavorable behavior due to one’s identity (e.g., gender, race, age, religion).Harassment has adverse impacts on career outcomes

engineering; higher education; gender perspectiveIntroductionUniversity studies associated with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(collectively known as STEM), continue having a male gender bias in Chile. Femaleparticipation is only around 20% [2]. This low percentage is driven, among other reasons, bystrong gender stereotypes regarding the study areas mentioned. The incorporation of womenin STEM areas has been turned into a strategy by different institutions.A specific strategy was developed in a School of Engineering from a private university inChile, starting in 2021 where the formal creation of the Gender Equality Committee wasachieved, whose mission became to promote "justice, equal opportunities and gender equalitywithin the

and rewards students for pursuing a deeper understanding of math concepts and theirapplications in science, technology, and engineering (STEM) fields.MATHCOUNTS was designed for 6th-8th graders. Each fall when the school semester begins,the participating schools register with the national MATHCOUNTS office and assign a coach,usually a math teacher or sometimes a volunteer parent, to lead math club activity either afterschool or during the 7th period of the school schedule. The coach receives the annualMATHCOUNTS School Handbook [2] and the previous year competition materials [3] to trainstudents on topics and problem solving skills usually not covered in school math classes.

research also describes some of the experiences that women in engineering uniquely face.Generally speaking, engineering education and engineering practice both can serve as a “chillyclimate” for women, enforcing a sense of non-belonging and hindering women’s acclimation(and/or desire to acclimate) to engineering communities [11], [12]. Cech’s research shows howengineering students’ reasons for identifying with the field are gendered: women are more likelyto value the social consciousness of identifying with engineering, and men are more likely tovalue technological leadership [3]. Ayre, Mills, and Gill find that persistence in the chilly climateof engineering depends on women having a strong sense of belonging to engineering; thus, itdepends also
