launching thebadge to a national audience.1. Introduction and BackgroundAccording to the analysis of US Census Data over the past 50 years performed by the AmericanAssociation of University Women, there has been a steady increase in the number of femalesentering the workforce in STEM fields. In the life sciences, female representation in the USworkforce has increased 25-31% since 1960; but there has only been an 11% increase in femalesin engineering fields in the same period [1]. In 2014, only 7% of all mechanical engineers in theUS workforce were females [2]. It is evident that the representation of females in engineering islow, and that the gender gap is persistent.What are the strategies for closing this gender gap? Research has shown that

Additionally, community members areinvited to tap their own trees and contribute the sap to the syrup making efforts.Community engagement programs in higher education have grown significantly in popularity inrecent years[1].

Felder and Brent confirm this intuitionwith several studies that show students need repetitive practice with consistent feedback todevelop new skills (1). Simply showing students how to solve a particular problem doesn’tguarantee they can apply these concepts on their own. With these ideas in mind, the lab morphedfrom a traditional recitation to weekly programming challenges solved in a group setting. Thelaboratory and lecture now focus on the C++ and MATLAB languages with plans to alsoincorporate Python in future semesters.

In typical use, a female-born individual who currently identifies asfemale would label herself as a “cisgender woman,” often shortened to a “cis woman.” The useof cisgender as a descriptive label avoids the marked-unmarked dynamic in discussions ofgender by preventing the classification of a portion of the population as normal and treatingtransgender or nonconforming gender identities as “Other” or aberrant2. A fitting analogy isheterosexual and homosexual identities describing sexual orientation. Although linguisticallypositioned as direct opposites, heterosexual and homosexual identities are but two orientations ina spectrum that includes asexual, bisexual, and pansexual, among others.

Theresearch in this area has grown during the last decades and some of the problems identified by theresearch are: The lack of motivation of people to study careers in engineering and other areas ofScience, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (), the high dropout rates of students fromengineering programs around the world, the misalignment between the curriculum and theassessment, and the gap between the skills of graduates and the needs of the industry, among others[1].The current

Drones come with an ideal combination oftechnical and ethical challenges that will force students from both schools to wrestle togetherwith unfamiliar questions. One of our primary learning outcomes will be for this struggle tocultivate individual empathy across disciplinary boundaries.

Based on theexperiences of people in the TELPhE Division who push to teach non-engineers aboutengineering, here are some reasons why this has not become widespread at the college anduniversity level. Starting with the most difficult issue, the major issues are 1) Getting a Place for Technological and Engineering Literacy in the Curriculum, 2) Faculty to teach the course, and 3) Rewards for faculty who teach and administrators who support these courses.In addition, there is a need for 4) Resources and 5) Materials for teaching the course.Items 1-4 are related to institutional support; with sufficient support from higher levels, thesehurdles can be overcome.

Based on extensive research by Godwin et al.13,measures of self-efficacy (presented as performance-competence), alongside subject interest andrecognition by others, have shown to be an important factor to students’ development ofengineering identity.
