Since the rural schools may not have the required lab resources (such as circuit boards, oscillator, etc.), for hardware-based security labs such as IMD power charge security lab, we are investigating the use of the interactive multimedia intelligent tutoring system (IMITS) [12] to guide remote students for hardware settings.

The combination of collaborativeautoethnography and collaborative inquiry methods allows us to highlight the diversity of ourtraining, perspectives, and goals [4].

This award attracted potential applicants and providedsufficient funding to make it possible for financially-disadvantaged students to continue theirstudies in STEM programs allocating more time to study and eliminating the need to work whilestudying.2. Project ObjectivesThe goals of this project, SCSU-STEM, were to (A) Increase the capacity of high-demand STEMareas via recruitment, retention, and graduation of financially-needy, talented students includingunderrepresented groups, and (B) Strengthen student support structures and interdisciplinarycollaborations, enhance faculty and peer mentoring

research on career development and the role of ETin the workforce has been conducted prompting national organizations such as NSF and theNational Academy of Sciences to prompt more research in this area [1].The primary objectives of this project are to: (a) identify dimensions of career orientations andanchors at various stages of professional preparation and map to ET career pathways, (b) developan empirical framework, incorporating individual career anchors and effect of institutionalculture, for understanding ET professional formation, and (c) develop and pilot interventionsaimed at transforming engineering formation systems in ET contexts.

Wenger [5] originally proposed and Kolikant, McKenna, & Yalvac [6]summarized the key dimensions: (A) “What it is about”: A joint enterprise as agreed upon by itsmembers, (B) “How it functions”: Mutual engagement that creates a social bond between members, and(C) “What capability it has produced”: the shared repertoire of resources (e.g., vocabulary, artifacts)created by members.
