research paper will specifically explore the past production of solar energy in all the statesin the US, and with the use of data analysis tools will predict the production to the year 2030.The reduction of CO2 emissions with the use of renewable solar energy is in direct support of thethree elements of sustainability, namely the 3Es: Environment, Economics, and Equity (or socialjustice). This research will quantify the past benefits already realized in all these three areas forsolar energy, and project them up to 2030. Cluster analysis technique will be applied to solar generation across all US States to identifygroup(s) at distinct levels of production. This can help States to follow the leading State(s) policyand process to increase their solar

research grant (e.g., NSF),s/he must comply with already structured research as stated in the grant proposal which rarelyincludes RT as defined and outlined above (NSF’s Broader Impact criterion is not RT). In spiteof these institutional, structural, and procedural constraints, the student co-authors in this paperdeveloped a commitment to RT mainly due to the spaces that their HES graduate programopened to do so and the guidance of faculty committed to RT. Hence, as expected, their RTefforts had to be implemented somewhat haphazardly, often circumventing established academicpractices but without placing themselves in trouble. Other students, while deeply committed toRT, found themselves prioritizing traditional academic writing, valued by academic

Prior to proposal development, each KickStarterteam performed a STEM-self assessment and developed a STEM plan, out of which researchproposal concepts were identified and matched to the appropriate NSF program, e.g. S-STEM,ATE, and later HSI. In 2016, HSIs in KickStarter cohorts began to acquire grant awards, initiallyin S-STEM and ATE. When the HSI program solicitation was announced, HSIs in KickStarterbegan switching from pursuing the Small Grants for Institutions New to the ATE Program trackto the equivalent track in the HSI program, quite successfully. A total of eleven HSI awardswere earned by 2-year HSIs participating in KickStarter for an 85% award rate. In 2019 theKickStarter program ended and no new

When building autonomy by increasing student involvement in program andcourse refinement, participants suggested approaches such as allowing students to provide “inputon syllab[i]” and “feedback on different phases of project[s].” In the case of giving students classcontent ownership/student agency, participants expressed how students could be given autonomyby allowing them to “choose or create their own assignment,” by providing opportunities forstudents to “teach class one day,” as well as by "motivating” students to practice autonomy and“solve problems their own way."As observed in Alterman’s Circumplex Model, motivating teaching styles can be adopted toincrease students’ intrinsic
]. Thisperception can cause students to question the relevance of the content they are learning insideand outside the academic content area. Establishing students' positive self-beliefs about theiracademic capabilities early on is vital as their beliefs about their abilities become less malleableover time [9]. If students do not understand mathematics and do not believe they can do it, theybecome disinterested and ultimately abandon pursuing mathematics and mathematics-relatedfields such as engineering [10].The integration of engineering with math and science is one mechanism that can foster theadoption of positive beliefs about mathematics.
