The lessons learned from this effort led directly into a currentBEV construction (described later) and one of the battery storage mediums for renewable energyemployed in this paper. Furthermore, efforts on the reduced scale allowed a common threadwithin the curriculum as interdisciplinary cooperation became more feasible 9. As this information was learned, students actively published and presented their knowledgein order to enable others to take a similar sustainable path 10.

. Page 14.80.2Some studies have shown that underrepresented (i.e., all women and ethnic men) students dropout of STEM programs at much higher rates. Thus, providing equal access to higher education isnecessary but not sufficient to ensure academic success. Colleges and universities must alsoprovide equal opportunity for retention, graduation, and advancement [5, 6].Underrepresented minority students are often low-income and/or first-generation collegestudents. As a result, many arrive on campus less prepared than others for the academic andsocial challenges they will encounter. They are less likely to have their own computers; theyhave less knowledge about the college experience; they are less knowledgeable about collegefinances and managing
