: ≠ Enhance the professional development of women faculty in STEM fields. ≠ Assist junior faculty in becoming familiar with university/college culture. ≠ Retain faculty by enhancing work-life balance. ≠ Reduce feelings of isolation for women faculty in STEM fields. ≠ Raise the profile of women faculty in STEM fields.With the above over-arching goals and a structure design created by the senior STEM femalefaculty, it is envisioned that the Mentoring Circles is a successful initiative that will help lead thecampus in a positive direction towards achieving institutional transformation.References1 Yen, J.

We plan on continuing our data collection, and havebegun giving semester-beginning and semester-ending surveys to the EGR120 students. Ifsuccessful, such a model can be extended to programs and departments offering both engi-neering and technology majors.AcknowledgmentsThe authors thank Janyce Selesky for collecting the student data.References[1] N.

What is the Most Important Thing That You Learned Today?The first question on the Minute Manager is “What is the most important thing that you learnedtoday?” The answer to this question is usually a very short summary of the main topic(s) of theday. Examples of this include: • Why variance is squared • That we have a table for F, how to use it • That if it’s two-sided you double the p-value • That you can test the significance of

In an educational setting, models and prototypes have traditionally beenconstructed by hand using a variety of materials in the absence of machining tools and training.This is considered a fundamental aspect of design according to the Standards of TechnologicalLiteracy set by the International Technology Education Association (ITEA, 2002), the NationalAcademy of Engineering (NAE, 2002), and many leading engineering educators (Oaks, 2003).
