The benefits of diversity extendbeyond higher education to the business environment as well: research suggests that improvingdiversity in a workforce can have positive effects on innovation and productivity [13]. Given theneed to increase our STEM workforce to remain competitive in a global economy, efforts mustbe made to attract and retain talented individuals to STEM disciplines and professions.Therefore, increasing diversity in science and engineering is identified as a national priority bythe National Research Council [14]. The National Academies calls for elimination of all forms ofbias that may hinder academic career success in science and engineering [15].Recent years have seen

Anotherbiology oriented research area is synthetic biology, which is a sub-category of biotechnology.Products from synthetic muscle tissue and medications to biofuels are the subjects of researchtoday. Each product developed has to be evaluated as to whether it can be produced sustainablyand economically while taking into consideration the effect on the environment and protection ofhuman rights. With the introduction of new products and technologies, bioethics is evolving,which means the educational community has to be up to date with the current bioethical issuesand accepted practice in order to prepare the engineering students to be involved in research as astudent and in industry. The present study will investigate bioethical issues associated

Resource Overload in STEM Education and How Students Can Overcome ItAbstract:Matriculating medical students soon learn that most upperclassmen use outside resources on top oftheir school’s curricular content to study for exams. Some students go as far as only using outsideresources to study. I preemptively tried to identify which resources I would use to study for examsbefore starting medical school but was overwhelmed with the number of options. This was a similarfeeling to when I was preparing to take the MCAT, wasting time using online forums and videos todecide which resources to use and how rather than actually studying. This overwhelming number ofresources is not just a medical/pre-medical student phenomenon though. Online content
