developmentgatherings.Research has demonstrated a positive link between professional development initiatives atuniversities and the retention rates of students [18]-[19]. Many universities have implementedprofessional development courses in their engineering curricula [20]-[21] with positive results.Professional development provides students with academic and real-world knowledge and skillsthat they may not have been exposed to otherwise, especially if they are from a householdwithout access to these resources. “Lunch and Learns” provide a workplace setting whereemployees can learn about topics while being served food.Many of the above elements are directly integrated into our specific S-STEM implementation asdiscussed in the following section.Overview of the S-STEM

that are important to them [4]. For my course, this meant that itwould not be sufficient motivation for students to read Frankenstein in the abstract as a literaryclassic; instead, they would need to encounter the novel as a text that speaks directly to aspectsof engineering design and practice. Another of the authors’ strategies for enhancing studentmotivation concerns helping students see in concrete terms the relevance and applicability of theideas and concepts they are learning. This could involve relating course concepts to real-worldcontexts, examples, and events [4]. To deploy this strategy, it would be important to relate thenovel’s concerns about techno-science in the early nineteenth century to contemporary forms ofscience and

Would you go into higher education again if you had to start now? Most of us answer,yes, without hesitation because the real rewards for us are not monetary but are the joy of seeing astudent gain a new understanding of a concept, learning to solve a problem on their own, ordesigning something that really works. The rewards from working with graduate students on theirprojects and the relationships that are developed with them are still there. The freedom to work inwhatever research area we choose is still a big draw for most faculty members.The FutureThe future is always uncertain but will

Representational Intersectionality explicitly states howrepresentations of Black women can potentially impact Black women in real life.Similarly, Social identity theory explains how individuals make social identities by establishingvarious associations and dissociations [31]. Social identity theory emphasizes upon the role ofsocial constructs such as gender, race and class as contributors to the formation of identity andaspirations that individuals identify with [33], in this case, STEM identities.

Engineering israrely taught in high school, although as professors and teachers begin to recognize this delay ininstruction, high schools are beginning to introduce engineering concepts into their curricula.One program that promotes high school engineering instruction through collaboration with localuniversities is the National Science Foundation’s Research Experience for Teachers program(NSF RET).
