USAbstractThe science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields are characterized bydisproportionately lower participation by women and underrepresented minorities, particularly ingraduate school. The United States population and workforce are becoming increasingly morediverse, yet underrepresentation in STEM fields persists. Broadening participation in STEMgraduate education can both increase diversity in the STEM workforce and productivity ofresearch labs, since research has shown that more diverse research teams are more productivethan those who are homogeneous.This paper examines how an interdisciplinary graduate traineeship approach can stimulatediscovery, educational benefits, and workforce development, and also recruit, retain, and
, and enforcement was crucial during thesummer employment assignments in 2002, adopted by the new interim chair. The interimchair suggested that since the faculty members have a nine (9) months contract, there wasno obligation from the University to employ any faculty member, tenured or tenured-track, during the summer. Therefore he had latitude to appoint whom he might think wasmost suitable to teach the summer courses.In 2002 summer, the electrical engineering (EE) program offered nine (9) courses and theelectronic engineering technology (EET) program did not offer any courses at all. Therewere more courses (nine courses) offered during the summer 2002 than the number offaculty members available for teaching from both EE and EET programs (a

elective courses in the areas ofinformation-communication technologies (ICTs). Such courses should benefit both MSEE andBS REE (Renewable Energy Engineering) programs. When the Covid pandemic occurred inMarch, we modified our plans for actions. First action was to examine the inherent correlationsbetween mobile ICTs and renewables, and second action was related to simulations. In thispaper, we’ll describe the lessons learned in the second endeavor, along with the softwareapplications. For example, 5G connectivity introduces enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)supporting high data rates and low latency, allowing large data flow instantaneously. Massivemachine type communication (mMTC) supports a large number of connected devices includingIoTs. Ultra
