There is a growing body of literature addressing the impact of specific academicinitiatives with respect to how higher education students are taught math, science, andengineering subjects, though there is less focus on the value of intensive psycho-social supporton the retention and advancement of students pursuing the science, technology, engineering andmath (STEM) disciplines.

The affluenceterm is the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita of the country. The technology term is theamount of environmental impact per unit of GDP.6 Put in different terms, environmental impactcan be seen as the product of the number of people consuming, the amount and type of goodsthose people are consuming, and the impacts associated with the life cycle (creation, use, anddisposal) of the goods or products consumed.So, what can engineers do to help?
