in college● Existing accommodations developed for traditional learning environments 2 The summary of what we are going to talk about today is this: ● Pedagogical approaches within engineering have been shifting. Project-based learning, studio environments, and team projects are increasingly popular in undergraduate engineering programs across the country. ● Many emerging practices are helpful in supporting students with disabilities, such as multi-modal learning, availability of electronic resources (increasingly common with “flipped” classrooms), and assistive technology. ● At the same time, there’s been an

Education, 2019 CPP WE: Retaining & Graduating Women in Undergraduate EngineeringAbstract Research shows that the number of women pursuing degrees in STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields is disproportionately less than the number of womenpursuing degrees in the same fields. Cal Poly Pomona’s Women in Engineering (CPP WE)Program seeks to do its part in countering this disparity by engaging all men and women withinthe College of Engineering for the purposes of recruiting, retaining, and graduating greaternumbers of female students.Introduction California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona) is part of the 23-campus California State University system in California.

to hostileclimate in science, technology engineering, and mathematics (STEM) which results in adiminished sense of belonging in their field [2-5]. Student experiences of discrimination on thebasis of gender and race also lead to lower trust in their department and greater disidentificationwith their programs [6]. A sense of belonging – which can be described as comradery, positiverelationships, and identification with peers – is a critical component to persistence in engineeringeducation [7-9]. Studies which seek to describe a universal LGBTQ+ experience may overlookexperiences surrounding gender which are specific to the transgender and gender nonconforming(TGNC) population.
