junior and senior students are required to complete. Thefirst one focused on why students choose their particular project. The reasons for choosing aspecific project were varied, showing every survey participant had their own reason for choosingtheir specific project. Most students choose their specific projects because they were interested inthe topic. Other responses included friends, time, complexity, the advisor(s), and potentialbenefits. Questions in this set also targeted what skills these clinics have improved. The mostpopular responses were technical competence, teamwork with 22.10% each, then communicationat 21.55%, professional skills at 18.78%, and leadership at 14.36%.

The Smithsonian Science Education Center projected that over 2 million STEMjobs will go unfulfilled in US in 20183.According to the latest report by the National Science Board (2019), not much has changed on thenational Science and Engineering (S&E) landscape since 1995, especially in case of underrepresentedminorities (https://nsf.gov/nsb/sei/edTool/explore.html). In 1995, 32.4% of all freshmen entering a 4-year college intended to pursue STEM. By 2012, a 13% increase was registered in the number ofprimarily non-African American freshmen intending to pursue STEM. However, this numberremained flat at around 36% from 1995 to 2012 for African
lendtowards basic electronic design. An analog circuit is designed to produce a given voltage orcurrent output. Digital circuits are circuits that utilize logic, relying on 0’s and 1’s (off’s andon’s) rather than specific analog levels. A microcontroller is the brain of an embedded systemand can be programmed with code to perform a particular function. The combination of analog,digital, and microcontroller devices create an embedded system. For engineering students,learning both these subjects are beneficial due to the integrative nature of circuits in manyengineering applications.A typical introductory digital circuit device is the Arduino Uno. An Arduino utilizes amicrocontroller to implement digital circuit applications. To immediately begin

They also need to recognize that the technical jargon that poses an extralayer of difficulty for linguistically and culturally diverse student populations can be systematicallytaught. Also, and certainly not least of all, teachers need to recognize that informal and out-of-school STEM learning spaces can circumvent the challenges of restrictive school policies and thedemand for more time with students and opportunities to pool from existing funds of knowledgewhile involving parents and assimilating into the society. 10 References[1] L.
