Journal cover (2008). She is an ac- tive mentor of undergraduate researchers and served as co-PI on an NSF REU site. Research within her Medical micro-Device Engineering Research Laboratory (M.D. – ERL) also inspires the development of Desktop Experiment Modules (DEMos) for use in chemical engineering classrooms or as outreach activi- ties in area schools (see www.mderl.org). Adrienne has been an active member of ASEE’s WIED, ChED, and NEE leadership teams since 2003 and during this time has contributed to numerous ASEE conference proceedings articles and educational journal publications.Babs Carryer, National Collegiate Inventors & Innovators Alliance (NCIIA) Babs Carryer is director of faculty development and

social group (e.g., gender or race) in the academic environment canraise concerns among women and minorities that poor performance may appear stereotype-confirming to others27, 6, 7. The isolation that these students feel on their teams may lead to alower feeling of belonging in their field and lower retention among these individuals8. Theseprocesses have been examined in social science research in the areas of stereotype threat, genderdifferences in small group dynamics, and active learning.Stereotype Threat. A large body of social science research has demonstrated that genderstereotypes exist purporting than men have more ability than women in math and science fields,including engineering. Laboratory studies on the topic of stereotype threat

latest technology with new knowledge and design.7 Technology is chosenand mediated by those in social power and domination, which has traditionally been anexclusively male domain.8 This domination has led to a monopoly of male engineers in controlof the technological knowledge and its power upon society. Male dominance in technology andengineering has rendered gender invisible in the science of design and technology. There is adanger in this rendering as it assumes gender as being non-relevant within the social creation oftechnology. Yet, “universities still tend to reproduce this professional engineering culture and thecorresponding social habit in favor of men” 9 resulting in research and design laboratories asprimarily male dominated spaces
