Five different categories of events wereidentified– career development, community building, physical activity, academic support, andfield trips. Attendance at each event was tracked and academic performance after the semesterwith activities was analyzed. In AY 2023–2024, the department hosted twenty-oneundergraduate out-of-classroom

novel ways of connecting with relevantaudience. Our analysis demonstrates that diversity initiatives related to STEM attract voices fromvarious entities including individuals, large corporations, media outlets, and community interestgroups.IntroductionThe term “STEM education” refers to teaching and learning in the fields of science, technology,engineering, and mathematics. According to Sanders (2008), in the 1990s, the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) “SMET” was the shorthand for “science, mathematics, engineering, andtechnology” and an NSF program officer complained that “SMET” sounded too much like “smut,”that resulted in the new acronym “STEM” [1].

Therefore, an increase incourses related to building energy systems may satisfy the demand of local professionalengineers. As AR technology makes students access the online course simpler through mobiledevices, it may help the state train more professional engineers through opening more onlinecourses related to building energy systems.

Engineering Technology (or discipline specific Engineering Technology) is a critical component of the concerned academic unit and provides additional opportunities for professional and intellectual development at the Masters and Ph.D. level. Thus, several academic departments offering a bachelor‟s degree in Engineering Technology have developed graduate programs. Most of the graduate programs offer a Masters in Technology with concentrations in a specific discipline such as Electrical Engineering Technology, Engineering Technology, Innovation, Energy etc. The number of universities or departments offering Masters programs in Engineering Technology or related field is relatively low (15-20) as compared to the total number of departments
