At the end of the semester, SES led a finalsummary and in-class discussion of the content and reflections related to our educational module.Additionally, the importance of moving beyond individual bias and addressing systemic biaswithin institutional policies was communicated [20], [26] followed by an in-class brainstormingactivity asking students to identify academic policies at PSU that they believe maybe contributeto lack of diversity, equity

This 3% growth over a nearly two-decade period isindicative of larger social issues among institutions regarding women and other marginalizedstudents [4]. This observed lack of women and racial minority representation in STEM degreeattainment ultimately impacts representation in professional fields, which could lead to increasedgender and racial labor market inequality [4]. Minority retention research in engineeringeducation spaces is conducted to increase STEM graduation rates, which could be used as a toolin socioeconomic mobility for minority members [5].

The objectives of the project are: • Raise awareness of implicit bias • Improve campus culture to be more inclusive • Create a heightened sense of belonging and engagement of faculty • Develop pathways for success of faculty in all tracks and ranksThese objectives are directly in line with the vision of OFDA, “to cultivate and support a vibrantcampus culture where faculty members feel supported, valued, and challenged to grow bothpersonally and professionally from hire to retire5.” The programs have supported each other inefforts to create a supportive an equitable culture

In summary, the three barriers to belongingdiscussed were faculty interaction with women students, negative interactions with men-identifying peers, and stereotype threat.Research Statement While the literature abounds with studies evaluating the impact of varying REU programson student participants, less attention has been placed on evaluating specifically the experiencesof women REU participants.

This inclusion of social context should be in the forms ofcase studies, debates, or role play, capstone projects rather than just historical examples, whichwill teach students how to critically think about such issues and consider ways in which largersocial structures serve to empower or disenfranchise people.

Furthermore, women engineersin the Arab world are also limited in their job opportunities because cultural norms prevent themfrom traveling offshore alone [30]. As a result, companies prefer to hire men over women [30]. In Palestine, women engineers face similar limitations due to cultural norms, includingfeeling disrespected and unsafe in the workplace and having limited access to site experience [38].Moreover, despite engineering firms in Palestine being willing to hire women, the majority stillprefer men, highlighting the role of gender bias as a significant barrier for Arab women [38].Discussion Women in STEM fields, particularly
