Engaging Freshmen Women in Research – Feedback from Students and Best Practices for FacultyIntroductionIncreasing the participation of diverse populations in engineering and technology fields is achallenge for many universities. A significant means to address this issue is to increase theparticipation of women students. However, this can prove to be challenging. In a studyconducted by Marra and Bogue,1 it was found that although women engineering students enterthe university with high levels of self-confidence and self-esteem, those levels decline quicklyduring the first year. They also found through their research, that the initial levels were neverregained. One method to help retain diversity in engineering and technology

Prior research on student understanding and use ofstakeholder interaction during the design process has found that students do not always interactwith stakeholders successfully (as outlined in the design practice literature).19–21 Some of thedifficulties student encounter when attempting to interact with stakeholders causes them toneglect or dismiss stakeholder interaction during design.20,22 Thus, more research is needed todevelop pedagogy for teaching these complex processes.This study sought
