but also sustainable [6], [7]. However, sustainability is frequentlyreferred to as environmental sustainability, overlooking its other two essential pillars: social andeconomic. Thus, infrastructure systems frequently lack social justice which leads to anunbalanced influence on different populations through different mechanisms, such as eviction,exposure to environmental danger, and access to necessary services. Even while engineers andpolicymakers base their decisions on technical and engineering factors, social and racialdisparities are exacerbated by stakeholders' choices, which reflect current economic and politicalframeworks [8]. Therefore, the project team members must be sufficiently competent to addressthese challenges and construct

perspectiveMany studies have been conducted to examine the existence of gender differences in leadershipstyles. Gender stereotypes persist in corporate structures and are reflected in related conceptssuch as vertical segregation, the glass ceiling, and the sticky floor, among others [11]. Thesestereotypes address ongoing issues in companies that hinder the advancement of women intoleadership positions.Incorporating women at various management levels is crucial, as noted by Tatiana Camps in herbook "Leading from the Feminine" [9]. Women's contribution to sustainability comes from theirleadership style that prioritizes and fosters peace, i.e., leading from the feminine.

, 2023 Determining the Efficacy of K-12 and Higher Education Partnerships (Evaluation)Abstract Engineering students and professionals in the United States do not reflect the country’sdemographics. Women and minority students remain largely underrepresented. To help diversifythe STEM pipeline, it is essential students are exposed to and engaged in STEM active learningexperiences in K-12. This is especially effective when post-secondary institutions partner withK-12 schools. Establishing the partnership can be challenging as the institutions must havecongruous objectives, determine who is responsible for what, and define success similarly. Toaddress this set of issues, a program partnership rubric was

Endeavour staff was experiencing in and out of the classroom. Also, the researchers felt thatthe high frequency of the survey delivery (five times over the two-year period of the program)was leading the students to not reflect on the survey questions as deeply as was desired sincethey had seen the questions so many times before. Therefore, modifications were continuouslybeing made to the original study design with the first three cohorts (e.g., a shift to focus groupsas opposed to Liker-scale surveys). Although the initial survey data would still prove useful forachieving specific aim 3 (an engagement dashboard), engagement measures have since moved tomore qualitative methods of data collection [8].

One student suggested that providing freeinternet access or offering the ability to borrow or rent a university computer could ensure equalaccess for all. Another student mentioned that paying for internet services can be prohibitivelyexpensive, especially for those who do not live close to campus due to financial constraints.Therefore, remote lab developers should prioritize creating tools that are less dependent onresources that may be inaccessible to some students.

3083Similarly, using either Pearson’s Chi-Squared test for independence or Fisher’s exact test (p-value 0.027 or 0.023 respectively) resulted in rejecting the null hypothesis that gender isindependent of student’s outcome (Pass or FW). Analysis supports that gender and the studentoutcome are not independent. Specifically, female students have a significantly higher passingrate. Predicting student success based on ethnicity, gender, and all the interactions between thosevariables using a logistic regression model is significantly better than a null model (p-value <9.83(10)-16 using a drop in deviance test). However, in this model no individual factor wassignificant in predicting student success (all p-values > 0.05).These findings reflect
