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

However, time limitation of the classroom is a major obstaclein implementing active learning. One solution is the use of the flipped teaching and learningmethodology. This paper provides details of strategies to promote engagement and deeper learning inlower level math and aerospace engineering courses at a Historically Black College and University(HBCU). Data on students’ motivation and self-regulation was collected using the validatedinstrument, Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ).

ConclusionsThe social and technical challenges that confront STEM professionals require them to empathizewith numerous stakeholders. Yet, STEM curriculum often fails to teach this important concept 27-29.Prior research indicates that interdisciplinary and holistic approaches may be more effective thantraditional programs in developing empathy 23, 30, 31. HDSTEM courses provide unique opportunitiesto link the humanities with STEM disciplines. Formally, “War, Machine, Culture, and Society:History and Engineering in the Second World War” provides a context where scientific andengineering discovery can be discussed in historical and technical details. Within this context,problem-solving methods, like DMAIC, can be used to go beyond technical

Manyfactors influence persistence, including both individual (demographics, prior academicperformance, self-efficacy) and institutional (teaching quality, faculty-student relationships,academic support services, financial support, and opportunities for professional development)[1,2,3]. While some of these factors cannot be changed (e.g., sex, parental income status,race/ethnicity, first-generation college student), others can be influenced. The research identifies
