The study also examined the factors of support within the institution, withan emphasis on understanding the effectiveness of various programs and policies (i.e. family-friendly policies, mentoring programs, faculty diversity initiatives) designed to support womenfaculty in engineering.Background on the Problem Compared to their male peers in academic engineering programs, the female faculty isless likely to reach full professorships (Easterly and Ricard, 2011; Touchton, 2008). Rather,women are concentrated at the lower ranks of academia as assistant professors, lecturers andadjunct faculty (Fox, 2010). In 2006, women accounted for 30.5% of non-tenure track instructors,  but only 11.9% of associate professors and 3.8% of full

Outcome 4 Social Sciences.In practice, in the United States, this requirement is somewhat redundant for most universities,which already have in place a robust general education requirement, typically about 25 % of thecurriculum or so. At the third author’s home institution, two courses each in humanities andsocial sciences are required, along with two more in diversity, in addition to the generaleducation courses in writing, mathematics, and science that we would want engineering studentsto take anyway.Theoretically, then, professional development at a U.S. university would be easier to achieve,since it would be built on a sound general education foundation.

These early courses are intended to present students witha set of core knowledge and skills that will prove useful across all engineering disciplines, thusmolding the foundation of their academic careers. Year by year, thousands of students will gothrough this rite of passage in various class sections, with various instructors, eventuallychoosing between various engineering disciplines. It is not difficult to find examples of academicpublications pertaining to the development, implementation, and performance of what we willcall ‘large format courses’, a core course required for most if not all engineering students, taughtby many

By contrast, if an instructorintroduces a visitor from a nearby engineering firm and asks that visitor to present a dilemmafaced by her organization, learners may assume a very different kind of game – one in which thegoal is to solve a problem so that they can offer advice on how to overcome a real-life challenge.When novice elementary teachers are asked to complete an engineering design task, we mightexpect stability in an “engineering game

Also, thestructure designed by the students is not as important as the process of the design andconstruction. In other words, the project is ‘process based’ rather than ‘product based’. So,the attention of the present paper is on the potential benefits of the DAD Project as anexample of the use of full-scale physical models in engineering education. The benefits maybe grouped into the following two categories: o General benefits of a group design project such as the development of team-working and communication skills to solve engineering problems.
