Several discrepancies between Inventoryresults and student self-reflections support the need for educational interventions to informgraduate students (i.e. future instructors) about educational philosophies and their implicationsfor teaching and learning.MotivationToday’s graduate students represent the next generation of faculty. This particular generation ofgraduate students has participated in a variety of teaching styles and interventions, from lecture-based classes to problem-based learning and technology-centered instruction.

Among themany problems are the following: (1) a lack of career advancement for women in engineeringeducation; (2) a shortage of women in administrative positions with influence in the decisionmaking process; (3) the resurgence of chauvinistic stereotypes for women; and (4) the conflictbetween family and professional life.This paper explores the impact of gender bias in the Russian academic community and assessesthe obstacles for technically trained women in the male dominated Russian university.IntroductionSince 1917 and until the end of the Soviet era, the role of women was very important in theengineering and

Two data sources analyzed in this study werepre- and post-program surveys and semi-structured interviews, both administered to the REUstudents. Three main themes emerged from the data, including: 1) Academics and Careers, 2)Teaching and Learning, and 3) Building Relationships.

In this paper, we report the results ofthe study incorporating these principal variables on retention over three time periods.

several decades computational methods have increasingly played a central role inMaterials Science and Engineering (MSE) for characterizing structure, simulating processes andpredicting materials' response. To align with this shift, an MSE department at a researchuniversity in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region launched a curricular innovation to inculcate studentswith a basic facility with computational methods and to leverage computing proficiency toincrease student comprehension of core MSE concepts. In this study we investigate the impact ofthis curricular innovation on students’ (a) perceptions regarding the utility of integratingcomputation in their studies and their future careers; (b) perceptions regarding their own abilitiesto implement
