State and federal efforts in support of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 have enabled deaf students to attend theschools of their choice and obtain support.

Many technicians choose to transfer tobaccalaureate programs in engineering and other STEM fields in order to advance their skills. Asa result, engineering programs usually have a large population of transfer students. Many oftransfer students are studying while employed in the field and some juggle a career and familywhile advancing their education. Accordingly, transfer students

The laboratory has been implemented for upper elementary andmiddle school students in an informal setting without formal surveys and feedback. This paperconcentrates on discussing the implementation for high school students enrolled in the GO-CAPS program [2]. This progressive program provides high school students a unique andyearlong learning experience to explore future career options [2]. Participating schools in theGreater Ozarks area, in Missouri (USA), are allotted a number of seats in the program. Studentsfrom the participating schools apply for the GO-CAPS program in their choice of area. The GO-CAPS board selects students based on the student’s interest and willingness to

Another key program component is experiences of how engineeringis a field in which people can help others, a factor which has been identified as aligning withfemale interests and career aspirations (USDOC, 2011; Hubelbank 2007).The program research focuses on three areas: 1. The program’s impact on short-term interest andknowledge in engineering/STEM; 2. The effectiveness of matching lessons to learning goals; and3. Differences between sixth-grade students and eighth-grade students in success, interest inactivities, and problem solving methods.

Practice problems were low-stakes, “lightly graded” (for completion only) problems that were similar to homework and testproblems. For the first unit of the course, students were required to complete Portfolio 2(blended) to expose them to the active learning–based style. This experience allowed them tomake an informed choice of their preferred portfolio for Units 2, 3, and 4. A student choosing thetraditional portfolio was instructed to complete only the homework and test for the unit.

This was the biggest between the groups. The TAs were different fall to spring, so it is hard to know if this was in part an effect of TA personality.  HF students found the programming tasks more meaningful (4.4 vs 3.8), less boring (1.6 vs 2.3), more helpful to their career goals (4.4 vs 3.8), and were less intimidated by the programming portion of the class (2.0 vs 2.5).  HF students felt less qualified for the engineering topics portion (4.2 vs 4.8

Based on this shift, the chapter’s structure changed by expandingseveral officers’ roles to be more outreach focused and forming new committees to stabilize thework [3].

A similar gendergap is seen in the employment of women in engineering fields; for example, women onlyrepresented 15.4% of employees in architecture and engineering occupations as of 2014 [6]. Thispersistent gender disparity begs the following question: why do women not choose to pursueengineering?There are several factors that are important to consider when trying to understand why femalesdo not choose to pursue engineering.

To remedy this perceived problem, the authors were inspired by the workof Butterfield and Branch [1] where seniors ‘hired’ freshman students to assist in the laboratorycomponent of the Capstone Design experience. In their work, freshman participants self-reportedhaving learned important engineering concepts, and also gained insight into their future careertrajectory.Our approach
