friends, so we mostly had task division. What he did—he wasn’t calling me or they were just doing it and when I was asking he said, “Okay, don’t worry. We just done it. We went to the lab and we just finished it.” I got so mad and I went to the professor and said, “He doesn’t—just share those projects, because I have to get a grade, too.” He said, “You chose him as a leader, so you have to go take care of it.” I sent him a few e-mails and asked him, “Okay, you should just give me more tasks, you have to just make—” I don’t know; he just never did. For the second semester of capstone I got B, because our professor said, “I didn’t see you doing those electrical engineering things,” and I said

Creating a pipeline of female engineering academics by increasing awareness and understanding ofthe academic career path. For example, SWE can increase understanding of what an academic career pathentails, resolve misconceptions, and/or conduct an awareness campaign. Examples include conferencesessions and/or webinars targeting a broad engineering audience.

Krause is professor in the Materials Science Program in the Fulton School of Engineering at Arizona State University. He teaches in the areas of introductory materials engineering, polymers and composites, and capstone design. His research interests include evaluating conceptual knowledge, mis- conceptions and technologies to promote conceptual change. He has co-developed a Materials Concept Inventory and a Chemistry Concept Inventory for assessing conceptual knowledge and change for intro- ductory materials science and chemistry classes. He is currently conducting research on NSF projects in two areas. One is studying how strategies of engagement and feedback with support from internet tools and resources affect

aseither an undergraduate or graduate student, and asked respondents to rate their experiences on ascale of 1 to 4, where 1 indicates a “poor experience, decreased my overall confidence ofsucceeding in structural engineering” and 4 indicates a “great experience, increased my overallconfidence of succeeding in engineering”. The most popular courses (as reported in Table 8)among the survey respondents were structural analysis and earthquake engineering. Senior(capstone/integrated) design, finite element analysis and foundation engineering were given thelowest ratings. The finding that capstone design was unpopular was somewhat surprising, but thesurvey questions did not allow us to uncover reasons behind these responses.Table 8. Respondents’ ratings
