, Ehsan Sheybani, and Eduardo Garcia-OteroAbstractThe demand for diversified qualified science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) graduates has increased dramatically in recent years, especially with theretirement of baby boomers [1]. Therefore, the nation is facing a serious challenge ineducating sufficient numbers of women and underrepresented minorities in the STEMfields to meet the demands of the scientific community. Recruitment and retention areimportant ways to increase graduation of women and underrepresented minorities. Thispaper concentrates on retention.There have been many studies on low retention rates among women andunderrepresented minorities in STEM disciplines and different conclusions have beendrawn [2][3][4].

ApplicationsAbstract In this paper an example of a method to present a basic numerical analysis method’s such as the Secant Method, Bisection method and the Regula Falsi Method is described in the way it is used in sustainable energy application. A solar panel is examined and students are provided with its P-V characteristic curve. The arbitrary function f(x), that was the target of finding the root for in a numerical analysis textbook, is no longer a function without any significance (Fig. 3). It becomes a derivative of the P-V characteristic curve which has a root that corresponds to the maximum power point for efficient power extraction of the solar panel. This can be applied to wind energy, fuel cells and so on.Introduction The need for
