In the setting suggested here, failure isnot an option, and the student team must deliver1.The authors of this paper have either coordinated and directed student teams, or haveacted as industrial contacts for one or more teams. The guiding philosophy behind ourindustry-based capstone senior design course sequence includes industry origination, abusiness setting and the teaching of non-technical (soft) skills. Industry projects demandreal solutions, as well as provide actual budgets and definite time constraints. To set abusiness tone, we provide all of the teams with a shared office space (cubicles,computers, phones, etc.), fostering a common work environment and sense

He identified four kinds ofscholarship - the scholarship of discovery; the scholarship of integration; the scholarship ofapplication; and the scholarship of teaching. The report emphasized the connections betweenthe disciplines and between the disciplines and general education. It privileged what historicallyhad been a central concern of the academy but had been neglected in recent years - theapplication of knowledge in responsible ways to consequential societal problems throughservice

environment. Positivefeedbacks were received by the participants as well as the RBTV STEM event organizers. Thesurvey shows that most participants learned something and enjoyed the activities. It seems thatthe virtual event is as effective as the in-person, hands-on STEM event.The experience gained from this program will help us to be more prepared and creative inorganizing similar workshops in the future. We believe these experiences would also benefitother educators and researchers with the common goal of increasing the number of femaleprofessionals in the STEM fields.Our future direction would be to track the number of students who enroll in STEM fields afterthey finish the series of STEM Programs for female students.References:[1] Sahin, A., Ayar
