characteristics of students that persist in the Loyola University Chicago Engineering program from the Class of 2022 and 2023? • To what extent and in what ways does a curricular emphasis on active learning promote student engagement and persistence among engineering students, particularly women?Based on the research literature, we hypothesized that students enrolled in the Loyola UniversityChicago engineering program would have a higher level of persistence than students in otherEngineering programs. Also, we hypothesized that engagement would be more critical forwomen than men for persisting in the Engineering program. 5DesignParticipants

theengineering professoriate and deserve further exploration. This paper highlights recent researchon women EE faculty members at four-year research institutions for those who have an interestin studying women faculty in academic settings. This qualitative study found that women EEfaculty members face an alienating, isolated and sometimes hostile work environments. Thesefindings were evident in work processes such as collaboration, networking and mentoring whichwomen EE faculty members faced explicit and implicit bias. Nearly all women EE facultymembers experienced emotional harassment while a third experienced physical or sexualharassment in the department or with the promotion and tenure process. Although work-lifebalance and support from other women

Purdue University. Dr. Santiago has over 20 years of experience in academia and has been successful in obtaining funding and publishing for various research projects. She’s also the founder and advisor of the first ASEE student chapter in Puerto Rico. Her research interests include investigating students’ understanding of difficult concepts in engineering sciences, especially for underrepresented populations (Hispanic students). She has studied the effective- ness engineering concept inventories (Statics Concept Inventory - CATS and the Thermal and Transport Concept Inventory - TTCI) for diagnostic assessment and cultural differences among bilingual students. She has also contributed to the training and

].Although percentages of freshman intending to major in engineering increased from 18.4% in2006 to 26.9% in 2014 for males and 3.5% to 7.9% for females, the increase in the percentage ofbachelor’s degrees in engineering awarded to women rose only 2.5% from 18.4% in 1997 to20.9% in 2019 [16], [17]. These percentages remained far below the graduation rates for males.Additionally, 15% of women never enter the engineering workforce resulting in a larger gendergap [3], [16].
