These gaps persist beyond college.While women and minorities make up more than half of the U.S. population, they are much lesslikely to pursue professional careers in STEM fields [16]. At the rate that STEM jobs aregrowing, more women and minorities will need to study STEM fields to keep up with the rapidchanges of innovation and technology.How students perceive the usefulness of course content affects their enthusiasm in the classroomand as a result, their eagerness to continue pursuit of their STEM majors [4].

” [8]. The focus of this paper is Undergraduate Senior Design or Capstone projects (SDP). AnSDP is a culminating experience for undergraduate students, usually taking place during their lastyear of studies in the US education system. Their intent is to allow students to put into practice theengineering competences that they have acquired during their studies to solve a realistic problem.However, we contend that most programs center on establishing realism through the definition ofthe problem, and miss evaluating the realism exhibited by the solutions students develop. In order to study this gap further, this paper investigates whether the solutions that studentsdevelop as part of their SDP’s poses characteristics that are

in the report score. This iscontrary to project experiences in the workplace, where project development is an iterativeprocess that frequently benefits from critical response from colleagues, supervisors, and clients.Thus, the authors wished to incorporate a more explicit review-revise process into the classproject framework, both to improve the quality of work initially submitted and to give students amore accurate sense of the process of iteration. Initially, this was attempted through “projectreview” sessions spread throughout the semester, where student groups were required to presentthe instructor a draft of their latest report and describe their project status. However, students stillprimarily utilized these activities to assess what

The definition of “systemsengineering” espoused in this paper is an interdisciplinary collaborative approach to designthat integrates various engineering specialties into the goal of realizing complex products orprocesses. However, whatever the formal definition, all would agree that a systems engineeringapproach is valuable for all practicing engineers to appreciate.This paper describes the introduction of the concepts of systems engineering to students in amechanical engineering junior-level required thermo/fluids course through the
