. Knowing that 20% of engineering school graduates arewomen, yet women make up only 11% of practicing engineers is a concern for the fieldof engineering and for the future of female engineers in the engineering profession [1].We are looking to quantify what we are seeing and develop strategies for eradicating itfrom our engineering environment.Current efforts are underway in our capstone design course (CED) – a course mandatedfor all seniors at our institution. In CED, students work in teams of 3 to 5 to accomplishtheir capstone project over the course of the Spring Semester. In these teams, we continuetheir leadership education using the LEAD model. Students have Learned the leadershiptheory in previous course work and we build on that theory

She was awarded a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation to study expert teaching in capstone design courses, and is co-PI on numerous NSF grants exploring communication, design, and identity in engineering. Drawing on theories of situated learning and identity development, her work includes studies on the teaching and learning of communication, effective teaching practices in design education, the effects of differing design pedagogies on retention and motivation, the dynamics of cross-disciplinary collaboration in both academic and industry design environments, and gender and identity in engineering.Dr. Lisa D.

diversity education into first year is an obviousimmediately achievable goal, with many programs already incorporating some elements atpresent. Another obvious place to include a deep dive in diversity would be in courses on ethicsand professionalism, or in co-op and capstone experiences. Here lessons about diversity can bereadily applied in workplace contexts, and future employers can readily build on educationaloutcomes in industry training settings. Finally, we must seriously consider how to build diversityeducation into the engineering core courses. One easily implementable way to do this would beto identify and highlight achievers in the field who are members of diverse groups. Studentscould do this as an assignment initially, and profiles
