During the undergraduate(preparatory) stage, students pursue courses in basic sciences and humanities, with intensivetraining in mathematics and physics, reflecting a typical feature of French engineeringeducation (Lemaître, 2017). In the master's (engineering) stage, students engage in generaland interdisciplinary engineering studies and specialize in an area of study in which they willcomplete a master's thesis.Figure 1.

The objective of the project realised underthe leadership of one of the authors was the development of an electronic syllabus package withunlimited availability in space and time together with accompanying methodological aids in thetopics of education technology and multimedia. The main areas of the application for thesyllabus package are teacher training and in-service teacher training as well

This study shows that, the scholarships and various academic supports provided tothe talented but financially needy minority students had significant impact on student success,retention, and graduation.1. IntroductionIn an increasingly competitive and technology driven global economy, the future prosperity ofU.S. to succeed depends in a large measure on a STEM educated workforce. During the nextdecade, U.S. demand for scientists and engineers is expected to increase four times compared toother occupations [1],[2]. Yet, only 32% of undergraduates in the U.S. receive their degrees inSTEM while the corresponding figures for Japan, China, and Germany are 55%, 59

This connects to his broader vision to make engineering spaces more diverse, more equitable, and more inclusive. He has held administrative positions in programs to broaden the participation of historically excluded students in engineering. Dr. Dickerson’s work in expanding participation in engineering has yielded significant programmatic inter- ventions, institutional change activities, and national strategic initiatives. He also serves as the Director of Engineering Workforce and Education for the CELL-MET ERC. Dr. Dickerson manages the
