Source: Own elaboration based on SIES historical enrolment from 2008 to 2020 [16].As shown in Fig. 1 the number of women who prefer STEM disciplines has gradually increasedfrom 2008 (38,515 students) to 2020 (54,982 students). However, female´s average participationfor the period under review is 19.5%, a fall in participation is seen between 2008 and 2012(Figure 2), where minimum participation of 18.92% was seen.

entrepreneurial mindset.IntroductionTechnical skillset alone is not sufficient for engineering students to address the societalchallenges. According to the 2015 National Academy of Engineering (NAE)’s report Educate toInnovate1, the development of critical thinking skills as well as an innovative and entrepreneurialmindset is equally important. In order to meet the needs of the global economy, besidesemphasizing technical skills, engineering curriculum should incorporate content and activitiesthat promote the entrepreneurial mindset and the best time to start this is during the freshmanyear. This, however, is not the same as teaching entrepreneurship or preparing entrepreneurs.According to Kriewall and Mekemson2, “an entrepreneurial minded engineer (i.e

In traditional electronics courses, teaching low-pass filters at this point do nottypically use the concept of transfer function and convolution to derive the low-pass relationshipbetween the input and the output of the filter. By incorporating Signals and Systems into the KImodule, we were able to allow the students to systematically and rigorously derive the input-output relationship of the low-pass filter using the concepts of impulse response and convolutionto gain a better understanding of its circuit behavior.

What does the classroom of the future look like? 2. What technologies must it have? 3. What teaching strategies are technology dependent? 4. Which room(s) on campus should we upgrade first?All participants were given free range to elaborate on these questions or make other commentsand suggestions they felt were essential to the conversation.In the fall of 2016, the prototype classroom of the future had been designed based on thisfeedback and was made available for scheduling university courses
