The most substantial research findings are currently being documented in a manuscript,and it will be submitted to a relevant, major journal such as The Engineering Economist for a peerreview in the very near future.3. MethodologyIn Spring 2017 and Fall 2017, the structure of the aforementioned elementary teaching moduletaught in IE 305 is as follows. The module consists of 4 class periods (50 minutes per period).Period 1. A pre-test, traditional net present value approach, new questions under uncertainty such as flexible design.Period 2.

under Sciences or Engineering.Pre-Use SurveyAs a STEM Librarian, Amani Magid provides outreach to her constituents via STEMLibrarian Day. Every other week, she spends the day in the science building, fieldingquestions about library resources and services. As this service has been provided forthe last 4 years, she has become acquainted with many of the faculty, staff, postdocsand graduate students, even given the growth of the university. As a result, there aresome who attend the STEM Librarian Day for the social aspect, as said Librarianwelcomes this as well, for it forges ties and can build friendships. On one such day, oneof the scientists who came for a social visit, began talking about business and began todiscuss the instrumentation he

If you determine that youneed to generate videos (note that you may be able to use other resources), work with your CTLand/or IT staff to survey the available tools and choose one that will work best for your situationand purposes. Maybe an undergraduate student who is savvy in media technologies might behelpful (and low cost).

unusual in that it would logically follow that boys’ interestswould be less affected by their endorsement of girls in a particular field. In line with thisassumption, our results also suggest that boys have higher levels of interest in mathematics andtechnology, while endorsement does not play a role in this relationship. Why these relationshipsexist is conjecture. However, one of our researchers suggests boys may be playing a protectiverole over girls who like mathematics, science and STEM. The reasons for these results are worthfurther study since they may have an impact on how to create and maintain not only diversity,but inclusivity, maintaining both individuality and a socio-cultural collaborative team [53].Although most of us respond with

The field has been leftwith an incomplete scope that has yet to provide understanding of the underlying issues or theculture of engineering programs.Once the experience of women in undergraduate engineering programs is more understood,universities and the field can make steps to alleviate the discrepancy in attainment rates betweenmen and women and broaden participation.
