implementing thechosen option(s). Even so, implementing the menu of CT tools that are currently beingdeveloped will require the leadership and time of experienced experts. It is also essential to keepresources and training models up to date based on the needs of the ISU community andcoordinate these efforts with current related research findings.To sustain these three areas of strength and institutionalize ADVANCE successes, three areas oftraining have been identified – some focused on audience (e.g. department chair or searchcommittee training), some on the training topic (systemic unintended bias).DEPARTMENT CHAIR TRAINING:In collaboration with the university level administration, ADVANCE-ISU has provided trainingworkshops for all department chairs

methodology.2. Overview of QFDQFD method was documented in Japan in the mid 1970’s and was first introduced to theUnited States in 1983 by Professor Yoji Akao. Since then, remarkable development andimplementation of QFD for curriculum design and improvement have been observedworld-wide 5. QFD method is a technique linking customer demands and productdevelopment. Ranking system in QFD method helps to identify and prioritize customer’svoice clearly.One of the main principles used in QFD is to determine directly from customers whatthey expect in a particular product or service viz., quality of curriculum in the instantcase. This is called Voice of Customer in parlance of QFD. There are different

The student hardware competition is considered thecentral event within the student programs. It continues to maintain its original focus of thedesign and building of Robots that compete by performing a pre-defined task. Earlier names ofthis competition were solar car contest, “seeker” car and design contest. On the average about 49of the 101 member universities participate in the student competition each year.

science and technology students the institution wanted to know more about the current status and health of STEM majors. As is happening at many campuses over the past few years the university has become majority female. That fact coupled with the institution‟s strong liberal arts tradition makes it an interesting place to test ideas about attracting and retaining females and underrepresented groups into STEM. In the national context it is well known that women are still not represented in the sciences in accord with their numbers in the population though the representation varies by field where about half of undergraduate degree earners in the life sciences are female but only 25% in physics are female. Women earn 35% of the chemical

that, if the same survey is given each semesterto the same group of students over 6 semesters, the familiarity of the survey will alter the results– the students may tend to simply repeat their survey answers without great forethought to thequestions. By conducting the surveys during the first half of each academic year for thesophomores and juniors, students will not be taking back-to-back surveys over three years. Thisshould enable us to evaluate less-biased survey results..References 1. McCarthy, J.J. and Parker, R.

Traditional and non-traditional students valued both soft and hard skills they gainedfrom these projects, but emphasized the refinement of soft skills. The formal assessment of thecourse by the institution revealed that all students, without any exception, appreciated theirexperience from the EL projects.References1. Balachandran, S

a portable lab facility,students can apply the tools they use in the classroom in their personal projects. The mostobvious examples involve tinkering with cars (e.g., finding security system workarounds forsomeone building a car from an early 90’s GM drivetrain) and robotics (e.g., adding a realelectrical engineering component to a project for a robotics competition). Less obvious are thekinds of activities that show how exciting engineering can be provided by our students that makeus so proud of them (e.g. finishing that great idea they had in their high school science fair ontheir own or a handicapped driver visiting science classes in their old high school).Whenstudents share these real world experiences, they are providing the best kind
