Thus, this studywill serve as a pilot to uncover initial findings based on the current DEI landscape at eachinstitution. Semi-structured interviews will be used to uncover the ways first-generation graduatestudents navigated graduate school and leveraged institutional resources to support theirpersistence beliefs. The data will be analyzed using thematic analysis to allow for commonthemes among the students’ experiences and beliefs to emerge within and across institutions. Theresults from this study aim to inform other universities, minority-serving or not, about theimportance of maintaining their DEI initiatives and provide insight into effective

This incomplete picture can deter creative students who lack certain skills needed to pursue an idea • Lack of clear identification of target innovation domains, areas ripe for both business and technological disruption. Helping students focus on specific opportunities makes it easier to undertake what in a broader scope might seem an insurmountable challenge • Availability of larger scale test environments where prototyping can be taken from the lab bench and integrated into a system, combined with other resources into more compelling and exciting solutions.The Internet of Things (IOT) is emerging as a rich innovation space with the potential to revolutionizeentire industries in a way

Itis the cornerstone of a corporation's information technology structure. Boeing LTD isleveraging the Dassault Systemes PLM environment with an integrated set of PLMsoftware and methodologies which are leading to the successful development of newcommercial transport aircraft.Aeronautical and astronautical engineering, while undergoing revolutionary change inmaterial innovation and globalization, has been unable to adapt to current advances inPLM due to constraints by legacy educational systems and entrenched processes. As aresult, education in aeronautical engineering offers a

Students react positively to the use of these case studies in theclassrooms. The STS-51L challenger case study, developed at the LITEE lab, is used in teachingthe engineering design process to freshmen engineering students. After a series of evaluations onthe case studies, the students felt that some of the case studies are over- whelming, present a lotof information, and need more audio/video to make it more interactive/immersive.

education programming to innovate their fields.IntroductionIn the United States, national calls have emerged for expanding the science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce [1]. Government officials suggest that anincrease in the number of STEM professionals and innovations is important for meeting risingsocial, economic, and environmental concerns across the country [2], [3]. One approach forSTEM workforce development is the launch of STEM entrepreneurship education programming.STEM entrepreneurial education programs (EEPs) promote and support university faculty,students and administrators in their transformation of STEM research into marketable products[4]–[8]. Since their emergence in the late 20th century, STEM EEPs have

In an informal interview study of five new makerspace users at Tufts, O’Connell [12] foundthat accessibility led to changes in perception for participants with regard to making in generaland seeing themselves as makers. Similar access-related themes such as ease of entry, initialorientation to the space, and the physical arrangement of the space have been identified by earlyefforts to apply ethnographic techniques to study makerspaces [13].The research on barriers to students’ participation in makerspaces remains limited. Still, somekey barriers have been identified in
