Paper Authors
Cynthia Atman University of Washington
CYNTHIA J. ATMAN, Ph.D., is the founding Director of the Center for Engineering Learning and Teaching (CELT) in the College of Engineering at the University of Washington and the Director of the NSF funded Center for the Advancement of Engineering Education(CAEE). Dr. Atman is a Professor in Human Centered Design & Engineering. Her research focuses on design learning and engineering education.
Sheri Sheppard Stanford University
SHERI D. SHEPPARD, Ph.D., P.E., is a professor of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University, a Consulting Senior Scholar at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (CFAT), and a Senior Research Fellow at the Clayman Institute for Gender Research. She is first author on the soon-to-be-published CFAT report Educating Engineers: Designing for the Future of the Field, and is co-principal investigator of the NSF- funded Center for the Advancement of Engineering Education (CAEE), along with faculty at the University of Washington, Colorado School of Mines, and Howard University. Within CAEE, she leads the Academic Pathways Study. Before coming to Stanford University, she held several positions in the automotive industry, including senior research engineer at Ford Motor Company's Scientific Research Lab. Dr. Sheppard's graduate work was done at the University of Michigan.
Lorraine Fleming Howard University
LORRAINE FLEMING is professor and former Chair of the Department of Civil Engineering at Howard University. Dr. Fleming serves as the Co-PI of a National Science Foundation HBCU Undergraduate Program grant designed to increase the number of underrepresented minorities who pursue degrees in engineering, mathematics, and science. Additionally, she is a Co-PI for the Center for the Advancement of Engineering Education. She serves as the Principal Investigator of an NSF grant designed to study the post baccalaureate decisions of high achieving Black STEM students. She is also a 2005 Scholar at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Most recently, Dr. Fleming is the recipient of the 2008 National Society of Black Engineers Educator of the Year Award.
