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

As it is asmall campus, the total number of students involved in the project is not large (~20), andstudents are primarily freshman and sophomore level.Each meeting, participants were given a discussion prompt which related to a current topic inengineering. Some were specific to the female experience in engineering, such as how toapproach a superior with a problem, while others were more broad, such as how to give aneffective presentation. Topics were determined from a wide variety of sources, such as theSociety of Women Engineers, American Association of University Women, and Association forWomen in

engineering summer camp for high school girls. Wetook a two-prong approach: a unifying paradigm and a design project. The purpose of this was toallow for transfer of learning throughout the week, allowing the students to build and showcasetheir own comprehension. The paradigm, the materials science tetrahedron, provided cohesionthroughout an otherwise broad and seemingly disconnected field, while the design projectallowed for students to implement what they learned during the week in a group setting. Thisapproach concomitantly enhances confidence and their sense of belonging within engineering. Inthis paper we highlight lessons learned from incorporating this approach into our program,including our perception of its effectiveness and feedback from

Multiple levels wereused and were as follows: ● Macro level – During the literature review, it was observed that outreach programs occurred in class as either a standalone project available to teachers or to incorporate outreach into curricula, or as an out-of-class program that exists on its own. At the macro level, programs are thus divided into two categories: in class or out of class. ● Micro level – This organization further breaks down the macro level taxonomy into more specific temporal categories, as demonstrated in Table 2.Table 2: ​The temporal categories used for micro level organization.By Mission

For example, in the long term, we expect tosee significant increases in the representation, retention, and advancement of women faculty,especially women STEM faculty and women faculty of color. We also expect to observeimproved departmental climates and work environments for all faculty. However, neither theNSF nor the UD ADVANCE project leadership expects that the long-term outcomes will beachieved during the lifetime of the grant. In this context, long-term outcomes are those that cantake up to 10 years to achieve and the grant funding is only for 5 years (six, if one adds a oneyear no cost

One form of SI analyzed in this study was lecturer and TA office hours,consisting of hour-long blocks during which attending students could ask questions about lecturematerial, homework assignments, exams, or group projects. Another form of SI consisted oflecturer-led review sessions, which were commonly held before exams in order to reviewmaterial, answer questions, and help students prepare for exams.MethodologyAll data were taken from (1) an IRB-approved survey administered to students enrolled inGeneral Chemistry for Engineers during the Fall 2015 semester and (2) grade and
