increased numbers of historically underrepresented students.The Femineer® Program was created to increase the number of women in Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields, especially engineering. Since 1980, femalestudents have continued to distance themselves from STEM courses [1]. According to theNational Center for Education Statistics, 35% of STEM bachelor degrees were conferred towomen in 2014. Of this 35%, 19.8% were engineering bachelor degrees [2]. In 2004, 20.5% ofengineering bachelor degrees were awarded to women [3]. This data shows that women areearning less engineering bachelor degrees and there has not been much progress since 2004.The issue of few women in STEM derives from STEM stereotypes and the gender gap
navigating this reality. More specifically, the purpose ofthis paper is to 1) catalogue data sources that collect STEM-related (science, technology,engineering, and mathematics) data at a national level and 2) critique the usefulness of the dataas it relates to informing efforts aimed at broadening participation of underrepresentedracial/ethnic groups in engineering. To address this purpose, we explored the following question: Based on the landscape of publicly-available data that is currently collected at a national level, how can the participation of underrepresented racial/ethnic groups in engineering be empirically monitored?To this end, we identified and reviewed multiple STEM-related data sources to highlight theways the

Exploring Student Perceptions of Teamwork in a Summer Outreach ProgramAbstractIncreasing numbers of summer outreach programs aim to engage students in science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM). A common approach to these programs is project-basedlearning (PBL), which often involves working in teams. Ideally, students participating in theseprograms work together in teams to apply the STEM knowledge gained from their programexperiences; these intentional communication and collaboration experiences are also likely toenhance students’ teamwork skills. However, team experiences are not always positive, andsome team members may not feel welcome to contribute. Team experiences can negatively affectstudents’ sense
