their students’ professional arcs and curricular supports for those arcs? With a smalldataset, we aim to start to delve into these questions.2.0 Background of the StudyTo situate our work, we begin with an overview of environmental engineering degree attainmentin the United States by gender, race, and ethnicity, and consider broadly relevant dimensions ofstudents’ environmental engineering educational experience. We then explore the cultural andinstitutional spaces that environmental engineering graduates move into as they enter theworkforce. Specifically, we consider the gendered and racialized social context within whichenvironmental engineering majors make decisions about their careers—how gender and racefactor into the impact of

This paper describes how alumnae ofMiami University in Oxford, OH, worked with their alma mater to form an external Women’sAdvisory Committee to the College of Engineering and Computing. The group chartered amission to “provide leadership in a collaborative environment with faculty, staff, students,alumni and others to improve recruitment, retention and graduation support for women inengineering and computing…”. Members of the Committee engage with the College regularlyand give both guidance and action to efforts related to student success for women students andfaculty.Recently, the Committee embarked on the development of a strategic plan to maximize theimpact of the

She has also incorporated theories on social cognitive career choices and student attrition mitigation to investigate the effectiveness of institutional interventions in increasing the retention and academic success of talented engineering students from economically disadvantaged families. She’s also involved in a project that explores the relationship between the institutional policies at UPRM and faculty and graduate students’ motivation to create good relationships between advisors and advisees.

between gender groups.There are two parts of this study: an online survey and an interview. Engineering undergraduatesare recruited for participation, and questions are designed to gage students’ 3D printing experience,frequency, and habits, including the intended use of printed items. Students are also asked toidentify their response to printing failures, along with their use of in-person and online resourcesfor troubleshooting. Student demographics are also recorded. In interviews, participants are askedin detail about each item in their online print history. Survey results are paired with in-personinterview responses.Research results will inform future work in addressing barriers that affect students, including 3Dprinting training, makerspace
