outlined the challenges facing engineering and computer science educators.2 He states that Page 15.241.2the challenges are enormous because we are preparing students for future jobs that may notcurrently exist that use technologies that have not been invented to solve problems that we don’teven know exist. Peterson also says that “institutions must design degree programs – withrelevant content, condensed time investment, and modified requirements – to meet the changingneeds of non-traditional students”. He also points out that the employers of our students willexpect them not only to be “well prepared in the discipline, but also to possess ingenuity

Women in Engineering

Engineering (2001 - 2008)AbstractFor over two decades, the US government has supported gender equity programs in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. In 2001, the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) initiated the ADVANCE Institutional Transformation (IT) program with theprimary goal to increase the representation of women in STEM. Since 2001, 37 institutions ofhigher education have received the NSF ADVANCE IT awards, and 19 have completed theirfive-year projects. Using the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) data, weassess the changes in the representation of full-time tenure-track women faculty in engineeringcolleges. While earlier cross-institutional studies of the ADVANCE IT program focus only onADVANCE
