mentorship. Today, as an engineering faculty member ata large Midwestern university, Dr. James continues to engage in mentoring relationships throughher informal mentoring relationships with engineering undergraduates and her work with a peer Page 26.1146.6mentoring program she helped to initiate that pairs incoming graduate students with currentgraduate students. Dr. James develops relationships with her protégés so that they are more opento sharing which can open the door to them accepting her guidance. In her mentoringrelationships and experiences, she: (1) works to develop personal relationships with her mentorsand protégés, (2) recognizes that

shaping and supportingstudents’ group-learning experiences.6 While faculty practices are important in all group-learningapproaches, they can be particularly important for supporting under-represented students, whooften experience marginalization in such settings. Both faculty and peers can marginalizeindividual students in a variety of ways, including through assignment of work tasks, validationof work tasks, validation of ideas or perspectives, and the nature of the group task itself.First, at the onset of an activity, task assignment biases can often result from unconsciousexpectations about who may be more (or less) suited to certain tasks.7, 8 While each team isdifferent, with a different set of identities and personalities, there is also

. Unfortunately,limited work exists on this group, but what does exist31 begins to highlight the complexchallenges African-American women face as they negotiate identities as engineering studentsand professionals.MentoringTo respond to the calls and tap into the talent of African-American women, African-Americanwomen must successfully persist in an engineering degree program and into graduate programs.While no single solution will address this need, research suggests that mentors are one verysignificant component. Work by Lichtenstein et al., notes that “positive interactions withengineering faculty role models can have a significant influence on students’ decisions to pursuegraduate study in engineering”1, and these interactions may be even more

She is a faculty member at a predominantlyWhite institution, where she has taught large-enrollment freshman and sophomore levelengineering courses. In her previous position at a diverse institution, she was the foundingwomen-in-engineering program director and director of recruitment and retention.

that any analysis that does nottake intersectionality into account does not adequately address the manner in which Blackwomen are subordinated16. Being sure to look at the Black woman as she is, both a woman and ablack person, is both powerful and insightful. The studies in this literature review use anintersectionality lens by looking specifically at African American women.For the African American woman faculty member oppressions take the form of invisibility,isolation, and other barriers that stand in the way of career advancement as faculty. Malcom,Hall, & Brown discovered in their analysis almost forty years ago that, “[t]he more an individualresembles the ‘typical scientist’ the lower are the costs. Each deviation from the norm raises

thesuccess of each respective student “type” that will prove useful to faculty, staff, and practitionerswho work with Black male students in STEM.IntroductionThe nation strives to maintain a competitive edge internationally by contributing significant andinnovative advances in science/engineering. However, our postsecondary institutions are notproducing the number of graduates with degrees in science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM) fields, necessary to keep pace with demand. To curb projected shortages, it isimperative that the country invests in developing and educating a talented pool of qualifiedSTEM graduates. It must do so with an increasingly racially/ethnically diverse society andcollege-aged population. Despite the high demand and
