However, SWE is uniquely positioned to provide acommunity that transcends the organizational boundaries by encompassing technical, service,and professional development areas for women in academia that is inclusive, collaborative, andsupportive as well as connected to industry, government and academia on multiple levels.Introduction/MotivationMany women enter careers in engineering and other STEM fields and find that they lack acommunity where they feel they belong. Professional societies can help fill that need and providea variety of networking and career building resources

These competences can be disciplinary competences or transversecompetencies, e.g. soft competences such as collaborative work. In every coursestudents have to solve challenges or real life scenarios that are related to the situationsthey will face in industry once they have graduated. For this reason, every challenge isassociated with scenarios that provided by industry, society through non-governmentorganizations, local governments or research centers. All these entities are calledStrategic Forming Partners (SFP).The structure of the educational model is distributed basically in four basic elements:Subjects (courses), Blocks (challenge-based courses

However, the scientists and engineers will need to work collaboratively to figure outwhich technologies to pursue and to monitor which are really making a difference. Although thisneed for collaboration is well-acknowledged in both industry and public agencies, structuralcomponents of academia make collaborations of programs or departments difficult[7].

The integration of HCD into an engineeringcurriculum should be done in a way that supports and complements existing learning objectivesas well as the varied goals of established programs. However, doing so is challenging given thatall engineering courses have unique opportunity areas and needs. Thus, there is a significant needfor tested tools and methods that support this integration.For this integration, it is important to consider engineering education at both the course andprogram level.

This attitude becomes particularly commonafter tenure and promotion to Professor unless other tangible rewards such as merit raises, releasetime, and influence motivate continuing hard effort. One may suddenly be shocked to find that hehas lost competitiveness when a supposedly good proposal or paper is ripped apart by reviewers.There is also a hesitancy of funding agencies, industry, and larger universities to fund or participatein collaborative projects with smaller institutions with no graduate programs, a limited record ofresearch, and minimal laboratory capabilities.

Thisrevolution is calling for changes and advancement in precision agriculture and smart farming [2].These needs have helped create the agricultural technology (Ag Tech) industry which eithercreates or repurposes technology to increase the benefit of agriculture.As the ag tech industry grows, so do entrepreneurship opportunities. There is room to start newbusiness ventures, build partnerships, and there is a market for innovative products. It is also aplace for new business ventures, called start-ups, that are focused on
