Technology noted in its 2012 report5 that less than40% of the undergraduates planned to major in STEM. While attracting students into STEM is oneaspect of the problem, retaining those who indicate interest in STEM is the other end of thechallenge. The six-year graduation data for the 2003-09 cohort published in 2014 by the NationalCenter of Education Statistics6 reported that 48% of those who entered college as STEM studentseither changed their major to a non-STEM major or left college without obtaining a degree. In 2016,only 4% of African-Americans received an engineering degree7. The six-year degree completion ratein STEM was less than 40%, and persistence of females, and racial and ethnic minorities Proceedings of the 2020

In other words, gender remains aviable factor in female students’ lives. ConclusionsSince India’s independence in 1947, Indian women have been getting education, which was seenas a means to learn social and home skills; it was not seen as a means to have a job unless therewere economic needs. Women were expected to pursue medical and teaching career paths;engineering was seen as suited for men. Of all career options open to women in India, IT hasbecome more popular than medical and teaching. This is mostly

The CAD drawings should have multiple different parts:I/O connections, high-level topology, and communication connections.

In addition toattending trainings, students had to complete assignments designed to help themcraft their personal stories as well as lesson plans for Phase 2. In Phase 2 (Fall2020), RE3 Student Trainers taught a storytelling module to over 300 first-yearengineering students enrolled in a course called ENGR 102: Freshman Academy.

. Even if the program is strong, there is no substitute for experience, knowledge, and sound preparation. In the preparation period, it is necessary to carefully plan and coordinate all accreditation- and assessment-related issues. Among the eight accreditation criteria, an awareness of common problem areas, mostly Criteria 2 and 3, is useful. A list of possible questions that can be asked by a program evaluator is provided for the campus visit phase of the process. For the post-visit period, a program should be aware of how ABET resolves consistency issues across institutions and across programs within a single institution. Finally, proper perspective is needed if ABET finds one or more weaknesses or deficiencies. Based on what we have seen

[3] From this they were able to determinemigration out of either electrical or mechanical engineering programs. The work, however,measures a relatively small sample (about 40 students per year) and does not track the otherengineering majors.As such, a research gap exists that this study aims to fill.

Given that our design is supposed to be as noninvasive as possible, we decided to take an “exoskeleton” approach to designing the product. We designed the CAD of the joints Figure 1: 3D Solidworks models of as configurations in Solidworks, so that if primary design the sizes needed to be modified, it could be done without needing to make a whole new product from scratch, with only one dimension changed.

.  College students as a future workforce need to be prepared in these autonomous vehicle fields.  Electric golf carts, with much simpler systems than a real car, are a perfect choice for education.   The purpose of this project is to convert an electric Club Car golf cart into a test platform for  deep learning algorithms. The deep learning algorithms for path planning/searching and  self-driving will eventually lead to an autonomous golf cart (AGC) that can navigate the campus  of Eastern Michigan University. We will integrate peripheral sensors such as Lidar, GPS, IMUs,  and control systems to the golf cart. The original golf cart’s mechanical chassis is the control  system’s foundation.
