) encouraging professionaldevelopment in the technology context, and (2) promoting interdisciplinary scientific research.Pre-college and undergraduate student participation in the sciences, particularly in research, is amajor challenge that is addressed by this project. Diversity of scientific disciplines is encouragedunder this project. Some of the most challenging and exciting research topics today are found atthe intersections of disciplines and sub-disciplines. This grant established partnerships with STEMacademic departments, industries, and other projects and provided opportunities for students toengage in interdisciplinary scientific research projects within the broader domains of the arts andsciences areas at our institution.Needs Assessment

The purpose of theworkshop was to significantly enhance and stimulate undergraduate learning in the areas ofscience, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by utilizing the relevant STEMcontent of NASA sponsored research and education programs in conjunction with NCA&TSUfaculty expertise. The faculties were presented with several educational modules developed atNCA&TSU. These modules included Atmospheric module, Biology module, Chemistry module,Mathematics module, Materials module. In addition several external speakers were invited fromprivate industries and educational and government institutions. Workshop receivedoverwhelming response and

Graduate school faculty, coordinators, and students assisted ECSE III withscholarly writing, research protocol, and analytical co-curricular activities (e.g., scavenger huntthroughout UWM libraries, tour of an industrial research facility). That effort helped ECSE IIIstudents prepare a year earlier for the Sophomore Research Experience b (SRE) program. RonaldE. McNair Post Baccalaureate Achievement Program interns shared their projects with ECSE IIIstudents in a mutual learning exchange, also.

, and lessons learned.Program OverviewThe goal of the KickStarter program is to improve the recruitment and retention of Latinxstudents in STEM fields and careers by enhancing CC-HSIs’ participation and competitivenessin NSF-funded STEM initiatives.Primary objectives for KickStarter are to: 1. Increase the number of CC-HSIs who compete successfully as lead grantees on NSF projects; 2. Strengthen CC-HSIs’ STEM infrastructure (i.e., their capacity to increase recruitment and retention success rates among Latinx students); and 3. Engage CC-HSIs with a broader range of partners in K-12, industry, four-year institutions, and researchers to help sustain STEM programs and improve CC-HSI federal program competitiveness.Key

diversity statement exercise is only one ofthe topics explored by program participants in the eight-week program. Two research questionsabout the diversity statement exercise guided the analyses and results reported here: 1) does thediversity statement exercise show promise as a means of enabling participants to engage withdiversity issues in engineering education?, and 2) how prepared are engineering graduatestudents to grapple with issues of diversity and teaching? The remainder of this paper is organized into background, methods, results, discussion andconclusion sections. We provide background information about diversity in engineeringeducation.

STEMFellows in K-12 Education Program3, providing exposure, stimulating enthusiasm, training,promoting the value of engineering, and mentoring minority K-12 students4, are some of theapproaches that help to bring minority students into the engineering program.

contain global, program/curriculum-level, and project-level criteriaapplicable to engineering challenges, respectively. The iterative validation confirmed theimportance of many rubric criteria, but also revealed opportunities to add or refine criteria thatwere not adequately represented in the rubric. In addition, iterative validation supported potentialremoval or consolidation of criteria that did not seem to be broadly applicable to sustainability oracross disciplines. Since the sustainable design rubric is intended for undergraduate studentprojects, there were also categories within the frameworks deemed inappropriate for student-level projects. This paper reviews the validation process and results and presents changes to thedraft rubric
