The man lost four children, ages 23, 15, 13, and eight, when his family house,located in Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria, collapsed in the early hours of Saturday, November 7,2015.As pitiable as the man’s situation was, it is not an isolated case. A 71-year-old widow had alsosuffered a similar fate. Her building collapsed on November 21, 2012, at Jakande Estate in LagosState, Southwest Nigeria. The widow lost not only her building on that fateful day but also hertwo grown daughters, who were graduates of the University of Lagos [2]. Several other parentsalso suffered similar

, Minorities, and Persons withDisabilities in Science and Engineering: 2023 produced by the National Science Foundation,24% of the United States workforce consists of STEM or STEM-related occupations. However,only 18% of the total working females are employed in STEM professions, resulting in 35% ofthe overall STEM workforce [1]. This number becomes more dire when filtered for science andengineering occupations, reducing the percentage of females to 28%. Furthermore, whenlooking at the makeup of engineers in the labor force, only 16% are females [1].More promising is the statistic that over a ten-year period from 2011 to 2021, the female STEMworkforce saw a 31% increase. A small contribution to this is the number of bachelor’s degreesawarded to
