technologydesigns. As with the engineering education researchers, both groups see a dearth of intentionalefforts to change dominant discourses in the rhetoric and practice of technology cultures, andwere working to establish alternative spaces, practices, and cultures to counteract the dominantframe. A lesson for engineering education researchers to take from this recurring narrative thatsurfaced in interviews, might be to celebrate collectivist instincts, the need and desire forcommunity, and to revisit the passion that brought them to the field of engineering education inthe first place. Further, as the discipline and its researchers establish their own dominantdiscourses and practices, we should be mindful not to lose the connection to doing what

So, I don’t consider myself as that far below them ifthey’re coming to me for questions. – Latina, Senior (P1)Another student expressed a similar sentiment of having to prove to her peers that she is just ascapable, if not more so, by earning some of the top grades in her engineering classes.Interestingly, while she described how her male, White peers are mostly close-minded, shealigned herself as being closer with them than other women in the program.Being in a major with church going rednecks who think one way, you have to remember, this isan engineering program, so most of the people in the program are kind of close-minded…It’s notreally an issue as far as me being Black.

who came to speak to us…’ - ‘Yes, because I know things about engineering that I did not know before’ConclusionThe main focus of this paper was to share the experiences of the ongoing year-long activities ofthe project funded by EiF and jointly organized by Savannah State University and SCCPSS forthe local middle school girls with an aim to inspire them to pursue careers in engineering andtechnology areas. One-on-one conversations with the participants and some of the encouragingstatements, collected through a post-camp survey, revealed that activities like these might havehad a positive impact on the young minds that can help to make career decision in future.Although the overall impact of the program will be understood only after

schools to engineering and associatedopportunities and careers via one-day sessions. Participants have the ability to interact withengineering faculty members and undergraduate students while participating in hands-onengineering activities. The program reaches on average over 100 middle-school-aged girlsannually, bringing them to Rowan’s campus to explore engineering through hands-on projectsand demonstrations. This applied approach to learning, a hallmark of Rowan Engineering,introduces AWE participants to various engineering disciplines and careers and provides anopportunity to connect with like-minded peers and current engineering undergraduates asmentors and advisors. AWE was established in 1998 and has hosted over 2,000 middle schoolgirls

puts her mind to. The girls emphasized their need for moreSTEAM programs, summer camps, mentors, engineering courses, internships, engineeringgames, hard work, and women engineer networks to strengthen their persistence. Due to personalreasons attributed to learning difficulties and other preferred career interests, 14% of the girlswere hesitant about engineering and technology careers.This research experience program improved the knowledge, self-efficacy and persistence ofminority middle-school girls. It can be replicated successfully at other institutions, particularly atHBCUs. In the long term, effective research experiences in alternative learning environments canincrease minority middle-school girls’ self-efficacy, persistence and improve

, compared to experiences throughout their first yearfor men. SI attendance has also been shown to differ based on gender, with females attending SIat higher rates than males [10].Research questionsWith these background findings in mind, the overall objective for this paper is to analyze theeffects of high school and early college experiences, use of SI, and gender on retention, GPA,graduation rate, and other college experiences for engineering students at NortheasternUniversity. In particular, this paper investigates the following questions: How indicative is first semester academic performance of subsequent academic success, both during a student’s undergraduate studies and at graduation? Does gender affect student academic behaviors (e.g
