perceived group roles in the context of first-year engineering courses, weexplored female students’ learning experience in a group project setting in this work-in-progress using Benne and Sheats’ functional roles model. Based on our qualitativedata, we found that female students performed a range of roles in the group project. Inthe dimension of task roles, female students usually took the roles of assistants, opiniongiver, coordinators and initiator-managers. In the dimension of social roles, femalesserved as harmonizers, followers or gatekeepers. As to the dimension of individual roles,some female students self-reported the feeling of being an outsider in working with aproject group. Suggestions were proposed to promote engineering curriculum

Paper ID #19498What is the Relationship between Mindset and Engineering Identity for FirstYear Male and Female Students? An Exploratory Longitudinal StudyMs. Heather Lysbeth Henderson, West Virginia University With a background in English, philosophy, science, and all levels of education, Heather is currently a doc- toral student in curriculum and instruction and educational psychology. She is interested in psychological barriers affecting retention and success for students. Having been raised by an engineer, this project is close to her heart.Dr. Karen E Rambo-Hernandez, West Virginia University Karen E. Rambo-Hernandez

point of contact for the UAH students regarding product requirements,ergonomics, safety, and curriculum requirements, to name a few. In addition, numerous otherwomen provide supporting roles via WID fundraising, and acting as CDC design reviewers andmentors.BackgroundIn 2009, the WID TVC decided to take an active role in supporting primary and secondaryeducational needs via the donation of STEM tools to K-12 schools. Since WID is a US defenseaffiliated organization, the effort was specifically targeted towards encouraging young people topursue careers in US national defense and national security in order to, eventually, replace theaging DoD workforce. WID TVC realized that the aging technical workforce in the Huntsville,Alabama (AL) area

short of women engineers in the work place. Many femalestudents lose interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) at an early age.How to encourage and retain female students’ interest in STEM is a challenge faced by manyeducators.The paper describes our collaboration (Wentworth Institute of Technology (WIT)) with an all-girl high school to setup a robotics workshop. The high school administration is interested inbringing engineering and technology as a new component to their curriculum. From our side, weconstantly seek outreach opportunities to prompt STEM and attract more girls into the STEMfields. After meeting and discussion with the high school administration, a robotics workshopwas developed. The workshop was a year-long

(summarized, by priority, in Table 1, below) include innovation;engineering education best practices; preparing students using a hands-on, project-based approach; integrating the traditional lecture format and laboratoryexperiences into a seamless “class-lab” format; strong professional developmentand service learning components; and an emphasis on a broad base of core skills,complemented with depth in focused concentrations: mechanical engineering(manufacturing focus) and chemical engineering (pharmaceutical focus). The initialconcentrations reflect regional and state engineering employment opportunities,the university’s historic strength in the health sciences, a forward-looking view ofengineering in the 21st century, and a desire to attract a

. You are to make recommendations for the upcoming academic year. You must make recommendations based on the limited information below. Assume research interests of all people are similar.Adam – is an Assistant Professor in his 2nd year. His dissertation, focused on computer-integrated processes and manufacturing methods, received an award from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME). He enjoys teaching his undergraduate engineering courses where he tries to limit lecturing and get students involved. Adam continues to develop his research agenda and his time has been fairly well protected and not taxed with many extra duties.Bob – is an Assistant Professor who submitted his tenure package two months ago and is waiting

personalexperiences that led to their enrollment and persistence in a post- secondary engineeringprogram. These research findings will help enable K-14 educators to make informed decisionsabout deliberate efforts to engage and support young women, both in their career through pre-engineering and engineering curriculum supports and in the transition from high school tocollege.Research QuestionThe following research question was explored in this study: How do young women’s perceptionsof their K-14 STEM experiences influence their decision to enroll and persist in an engineeringmajor? The sequential approach allowed the researcher to construct specific focus group andinterview questions based on an initial quantitative survey to gain an in-depth understanding

recognize that STEM is a path that is open to them if they want to take it. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Ten Years Later – Where Are They Now?AbstractThis paper explores the educational and career trajectories of the alumnae of an outreach activityfor girls. The outreach activity was originally developed using an integrated marketing approachto attract girls into engineering programs.1 The program, a two day, overnight experience forrising 9th, 10th and 11th grade girls, focuses on showcasing engineering as an exciting, creativeactivity, including activities developed from that perspective. Started in 2005 and held annuallysince then, a total of over 500 girls have
