campus has been successful at attracting and retainingwomen in engineering, we examined our program and enrollment trends, conducted interviews,and surveyed faculty, students and alumni. Based on this data, key aspects of the curriculum thatseem to effectively attract and retain women include the flexibility of the curriculum, a focus ondesign and innovation, a collaborative and friendly atmosphere, the presence of female peermentors, an emphasis on the liberal arts, and a focus on real-world projects.Data from surveys, interviews and courses are shared so that faculty and administrators at othercampuses may learn about different strategies that could be adapted at their own campuses toincrease gender diversity.BackgroundDespite continued
interaction groups ofthinkers who have identified a social problem, analyzed its sources, and devised a solution”(p.22).”30 Coherent groups are the intellectual arm of social movements, yet there is littlescholarship on how they operate to produce new scientific knowledge and cultural change inscientific institutions.30 This paper addresses this gap in knowledge. Further, we also add to thisbody of scholarship by providing an intersectional analysis of collaboration across not justscientific disciplines but also across social identities such as race/ethnicity, gender, andsexuality.Furthermore, scholars from a range of social sciences highlight the important role of emotions inscientific knowledge production.2, 34, 30, 34 Integrating science and

Foor et al.63 alsorecommend faculty to pay attention to “us” and “them” classroom dynamics that are establishedas a result of “capital differences” among diverse students and to be aware that students withaverage grades can also excel as engineers. In general, Foor et al.63 insist that faculty must makeunder-represented students feel “more welcome” in engineering colleges. Thus faculty cancertainly help students develop the critically required social capital29 and cultural wealth26.Insight 2: Research-based instructional strategies influence academic integration of all thestudents, more so of women.

Paper ID #21907Understanding the Experience of Women in Undergraduate Engineering Pro-grams at Public UniversitiesDr. Jessica Ohanian Perez, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Jessica Ohanian Perez is an assistant professor in Electromechanical Engineering Technology at Califor- nia State Polytechnic University, Pomona with a focus on STEM pedagogy. Jessica earned her doctorate in education, teaching, learning and culture from Claremont Graduate University. Her research focuses on broadening participation of marginalized group in engineering and investigating alternate paths to the field
environment [11]. Onan increasing basis, STEM plus Arts (STEAM) is gaining significant interest as some K–84schools have begun to place emphasis on Arts in their curriculums [12]. Future research toidentify the diverse contributions and mutual benefits of STEAM collaborations is encouraged[11].(2) Vicarious experience: Vicarious experiences, also known as modeling, is believed to be thesecond most effective source of self-efficacy; and it has an effect on self-efficacy through asocial comparison where people relate their capabilities to others [5][7]. Others may includepeers, parents, teachers, family members, and virtually anyone else [4]. Observing a similarindividual successfully master a situation helps people learn, and makes them feel that they
