She also reported that she first neededto experience Robotics design experience herself and to engage in a learning by designexperience through a professional development course in order to teach robotics courseseffectively in her school. The LEGO Robotics ePDN courses met these needs. She concludedthe interview by stating ”It s like a

mentoring is becoming more widely known throughout business and academic fields,women still feel at a disadvantage in terms of finding a mentor or a group of mentors to assistthem during their careers. Because STEM fields, such as engineering, are traditionally maledominated fields, women may find it difficult to find a proper mentor(s) to suit their needs. Fewwomen occupy high organizational ranks, which in turn may create difficulty when femaleprotégés are trying to initiate a mentoring relationship with potential female mentors20. Studies have also shown that the gender of the mentor and protégé may affect the overallmentoring experience20,21. Mentoring relationships that contain participants with the same genderare often more successful and

Why cannot a system develop wherefaculty with research aspirations are balanced by those who have passion for teaching, withouttrying to get “a little bit of everything” from each person? In this way both sets of individualshave the ability to expand there potential to greater heights within their own area of passion.In fact the power structure of most of academia is held by those who have doctorates, and believethat this is the single criteria for exclusion. This is in part due to the diversity of criteria acrossthe various technical and non-technical fields.
