The solar cells,batteries and fuel cells can be manufactured today but can they beat the internationalcompetition to deliver the tough commodity performance metrics? High-level roadmapsfor alternative energies have been formulated 1 but the goals remain stubbornly distant 2.That emphasizes the need to recruit and

thesummer camp.BackgroundThe Imperative of Early STEM EngagementThe landscape of modern education increasingly emphasizes STEM (Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics), reflecting its integral role in fostering innovation and addressingcontemporary challenges. However, a persistent issue within the engineering discipline is theinsufficient number of students, particularly from underrepresented groups, who express interestin pursuing engineering as both a college major and a career path [3]. This under-enrollmentphenomenon underscores the necessity of cultivating STEM interest at an early stage,particularly during K-12 education.Research underscores the pivotal role of middle school as a critical juncture where students'interests

This paper focuses on faculty relations because, historically, 148 universities have relegated retention issues to staff and advisors. The importance of faculty influence on49 student retention is an under-researched and under-explored area. Specifically, faculty relations can be50 shaped through specific teaching practices instructors can use to increase student retention.

To increase student engagement and provide an enriched learningenvironment that combines practical experiences with theoretical knowledge, an alternativeapproach to a flipped classroom was explored. With a senior and graduate mix of 28 students,roles in the Flight Vehicle Performance (FVP) course were partially flipped, as students wereasked to take ownership of their learning through two main efforts. First, integration of theMerlin Flight Simulator early in the course built off of previous use to provide a practicalexposure to the course material, even before it was presented in class. Second, the students wererequired to prepare lectures that cumulatively covered around 25% of the core course

Best practicessuggest that more effective efforts should be designed to (1) maintain and expand situationalinterest, and (2) integrate with individual and community values. Challenges to broadening participation in engineering are further complicated as researchindicates that factors such as outcome expectations are more important than interest alone in thecareer choices of underrepresented groups [3-6]. In particular, for Appalachian youth, pastresearch from members of our team showed that a desire for consistent local employment andaligning one’s future in accordance with family values and pressures were important factors incareer choice.

The shorter time frames allowfor just two or three rounds to be used as a basis of comparison. For example, the exercisedescribed by Billington6 uses three rounds (push, pull with lot size = 3, pull with single-pieceflow) to demonstrate to students how Lean can reduce work-in-process (WIP). An advantage formultiple sessions, though, is that it provides the students with time to reflect on the events of aprevious exercise and plan for the next.

The reform was driven by professional satisfaction, andwillingness to take risks and these factors empowered these teachers to pursue and sustain theefforts of reforms (Balgopal, 2020). However, the extent to which this influence appears varies because of the demographiccharacteristics of study participants and the structure of the education sector in the country.
