research.Literature reviewWhile there are many factors that contribute to gender and racial inequality in science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) settings, the following research focused onsocial marginalization and the intersectionality of women of color in engineering [5]. As womenenter engineering programs in pursuit of degree attainment, they may feel unwelcome, lackprogram support, and encounter negative gender stereotypes. Women of color face additionalchallenges outside of gender such as experiences with prejudice, discrimination, and differencesin cultural values and socialization [3] that may hinder their confidence and effect their pursuit ofan engineering degree [7].Women of color attending predominantly White institutions (PWIs

interest in becoming engineers someday or in performing jobs related to engineering (even if they didn’t know what engineering was). But, the types of engineeringrelated work they were interested in changed slightly over time, from interest in cars and machines that help people walk in sixth grade, to an interest in medicines and computer applications in seventh grade. Student interest in developing technology that can help the environment persisted from sixth to seventh grade. Our findings indicate that, as children move through the middle school experience, they become more aware of and sensitive to the perceptions of their peers, while still aware of their parents’ positive perceptions about engineering. Sixth graders, who liked to design
influences and processes such as working with a group ofindividuals. All of these factors, plus many more, are what drive the demands of technology and productinnovation today. These demands have evolved the current practice of engineering in such a way thatthere now exists disconnect between engineering education and engineering practice. This disconnect hasresulted in today’s engineering students lacking the key skills needed to be successful engineers [4] andresulted in many prominent calls to reduce the distance between engineering education and engineeringpractice. The most notable call is perhaps from the National Academy of Engineering’s Engineer of 2020project [5], [6] which calls for the inclusion of interdisciplinary knowledge and teamwork
Challenges of Students with ADHD in Engineering ProgramsAbstract A critical need exists in engineering education to draw on the non-traditional divergentthinking and risk- taking necessary for making radical technological breakthroughs. Literaturesuggests that individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) characteristicsdemonstrate unparalleled creativity and risk-taking potential. While this group of students mayoffer significant benefits to the advancement of the nation, they are currently significantlyunderrepresented in engineering programs because of the major academic and emotionalchallenges that the rigidly structured engineering programs impose on them.

technology the engineering schools must be focused on providing a strongeducation to students in technical fields. Our college takes this issue seriously by providingstudents with a very strong foundation of engineering education that allows them to transfersuccessfully to any four-year engineering programs. Engineering students in an academic setting do not have the environment, theresponsibilities, the demands, or the interactions with other members of an engineering team, nordo they face the real-life situations and challenges that a practicing engineer faces every day.Therefore, our program decided that our mentorship initiative must have as many professionalengineering aspects as academic ones. We built the mentoring role to be part coach

Consequently, it isparamount that unmatriculated nuclear engineering students are engaged with their discipline ofchoice.5 In addition, the field has generally been associated with nuclear energy and thechallenge is to express the diversity of subject matter in nuclear energy production, and at thesame time highlight other applications of the technology. Students express the desire to studyengineering and present the necessary aptitude but the first year can be disillusioning to some.Engagement with the proposed discipline major starts the
