Additionally, ABET’saccreditation is aimed at producing graduates who are prepared to enter the global workforcewith the ability to succeed and thrive in diverse and inclusive environments [2]. STEMprofessions require imagination and innovation which is easier to achieve when persons withdiverse backgrounds and experiences collaborate and work toward a common goal. Theseunderrepresented minority students face special challenges in these fields [3]. These challengesrequire an asset-based, cultural capital approach to analyze

The traditional method of publication in scientific journals requires the solicitation of peer-reviewers and subsequent editorial approval prior to a manuscript's acceptance for publication. This process involves a significant amount of time and overwhelmingly volunteer effort from multiple parties to preserve high levels of integrity for the journal specifically and scientific literature as a whole. A preprint is simply a manuscript posted to an internet server (e.g., aRxiv.org, bioRxiv.org, medRxiv.org or other venues) by the authors without any peer-review.
