‘bio-char modified cement pastes’ research experience program at anHBCU. This program was part of a broader one-year science, technology, engineering, arts, andmathematics (STEAM) ACTIVATED! program funded through a 2018 Engineering InformationFoundation (EiF) grant. The four research questions for this qualitative study are: 1. To what extent did research experiences contribute to the engineering and technology knowledge of minority middle school girls? 2. What were the salient learning experiences of minority middle-school girls? 3. How did the various research and learning activities impact the self-efficacy of minority middle-school girls? 4. Beyond this program, what actions will minority middle-school girls take to
solutions could progress toward developing final designproposals with more creativity. Gender-balanced teams with high conflict among teammembers could not generate an idea and create innovative final projects. For having moreinnovative solutions in design projects, Fila and Purzer [24] suggested that instructors avoidforming teams only on the basis of gender and that they facilitate teams during teamwork.Ertas et al. [14] tested the transdisciplinary (TD) pedagogy in undergraduate research teams.The authors investigated TD’s impact on the learning outcomes of male Caucasian and maleunderrepresented minorities students. This approach increased the engagement ofunderrepresented students in teams. Due to the engagement, collaboration, and support

Her education research interests span early childhood through higher education, with a focus on the impact of pedagogical practices and contexts on learning and development. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 After #MeToo: What’s Next for Women in the Engineering Workplace?AbstractThis paper (and corresponding panel session at ASEE 2019) seeks to provide researchers whohave an interest or potential interest in studying women engineers in the workplace (academic,corporate, government, nonprofit) with tools to support that
practicesdescribed in Tables A and B based on: review of course materials; classroom observation; and, discussionwith the instructor. The practices in Table A have been shown to have a particularly large and robust impacton learning in undergraduate STEM courses (see, e.g., Wieman and Gilbert, 2014). The literature onteaching indicates that practices in Table B promote learning also, but with less impact than those in TableA. Hence, evaluators should pay particular attention to the practices in Table A that the instructor choosesto implement in their course.Not all practices described in Tables A and B are appropriate for every course. Wieman and Gilbert identifiedthese as best practices for undergraduate non-laboratory courses. However, laboratory and
/departmentalpolicy. In addition to these strategies, considering the impact of social and cultural factors onstudent retention would be of value. In fact, according to Hanover research, one key element forretention practices among higher education institutions in the United States and Canada is socialconnectedness [4].College students not only develop the knowledge and skills needed to prepare for a professionalcareer after they graduate, but also explore social connections throughout their collegeexperience. Most universities provide many opportunities for students to join various studentorganizations on campus. For example, some of the engineering organizations include studentchapters of professional organizations, including Society of Women Engineers

Paper ID #24875Influences of Female/Women Engineering Professionals at the Workplace,Home, and CommunityDr. John M. Mativo, University of Georgia Dr. John Mativo is Associate Professor at the University of Georgia. His research interest lies in two fields. The first is research focusing on best and effective ways to teaching and learning in STEM K- 16. He is currently researching on best practices in learning Dynamics, a sophomore engineering core course. The second research focus of Dr. Mativo is energy harvesting in particular the design and use of flexible thermoelectric generators. His investigation is both for the
for a new Associate-to-Fullpromotion policy, including new criteria; definitions of multiple forms of scholarship includingdiscovery, integration, application and practice, teaching and learning, and engagement;standards for quality, impact, and peer review, including a call to reviewers to be aware ofpotential for bias; and procedures for promotion nomination and review. Overall, much moreguidance is provided, with the new policy occupying about six pages compared to the prior four.A key change in the criteria was to replace the “leadership” criterion with the following: “arecord of scholarly contributions that demonstrates a positive external impact beyond MU….Contributions to MU may demonstrate an external impact if they are disseminated

Grounding in feminist theory helpsto work a basis that organizations can be and are cultural - a notion many organizational scholarsnote as an integral force for understanding change (Schein, 1990). It provides the researchers andthe research itself the ability to be reflexive while paying critical attention with regard to genderand other oppressive intersections as they arise in analysis. As organizational dynamics unfoldlayers of written and unwritten regulations eroding the engineering education profession, whichscaffold gender neutral engineering practices, power is enacted and must not only beacknowledged but addressed.

She has a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from Elizabethtown College, a Master’s degree in Computer Science and Software Engineering from Auburn University, eleven years of experience in industry as a software engineer. Her research focus is on broadening participation in engineering and computing through the exploration of: 1) race, gender, and identity and 2) computer science education research in order to inform pedagogical practices that garner interest and retain women and minorities in computer-related engineering fields. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Work in
