What are the academic trajectories of Black men and women in EE, CpE, and ME? 3. In what ways do these pathways vary by gender or institution? 4.

While the Middle East and North Africa region have fairly high numbers of femaleengineering students, many females do not go on to the workforce [1].As a young woman living in Qatar, I’ve received many disapprovals from my parents regardingthe idea of me studying engineering. Therefore, to create a community of practice thatencourages young Qatari females to study engineering, I chose to study the Qatari society andthe factors that contribute to females becoming engineers.

In study 1, students were significantly less motivated to complete programmingassignments than other course assignments. However, the following year, Study 2 found thatthere was no significant difference; students were equally motivated to complete programmingand other course assignments. Furthermore, students articulated that programming skills areessential for engineers to be efficient at their jobs. The contrasting results are discussed,presenting several hypotheses for the dissimilar attitudes.IntroductionComputational materials science and engineering (CMSE) is vital to

. Implicit bias on student teams is often theorized to influence the prioritization of ideasexpressed by white male students over those expressed by their female counterparts orteammates of color [1]. In addition, a gender-correlated division of work often occurs onstudent-teams, with men doing the more technical tasks of the project, leaving women to oftenfill the remaining organizational and managerial positions on the team [2], [3], [4]. Reasoning forthis type of behavior is often linked to differences in student learning goals for a course, whetherthat be mastery orientation (motivation to understand the material), performance orientation(motivation to earn grades or favor) or performance-avoidance orientation (motivation to avoidappearing less

It was agreed that ITU would teach 37 credit hours in freshmen and39 in junior year for a total of 76 hours, whereas SIUE would teach 32 credit hours insophomore year and 34 hours in senior year for a total of 66 hours.The enrollment and graduation statistics over the years are shown in Table 1.

Results of thisstudy showed that both Veteran and first-year non-Veteran engineering students strongly valuethe tenants of social responsibility. The results of this study indicate the potential for curriculumand policy changes to increase Veteran retention in engineering programs.IntroductionThe National Science Foundation [1] indicated that approximately 6.1% of students in the USselect engineering as a field of study. An important aspect for engineering programs across thecountry is to retain these students. In 2007 it was found that the retention rate continues tosteadily increase from 70 years ago from 28% to 56% in 2007 [2]. This increase in retention islikely due to

Lack of diversity limits the talent base and creative capital of the entire engineeringprofession (2). For this reason, institutions have been investing in Minority EngineeringPrograms (MEPs) within their undergraduate engineering colleges (3,4). MEPs serve as umbrellaorganizations that offer financial, academic, and social support, with overarching objectives ofimproving representation and retention of URM undergraduate students in engineering programs(3-7). Although programmatic elements and administrative infrastructure may vary byinstitution, there is no question that MEPs in general are effective in URM

American,and Pacific Islander engineering graduates remain significantly underrepresented in engineering[1]. Progress in increasing the retention and persistence of underrepresented populations inengineering degree programs and the engineering workforce has been slow [2]. Furthermore,even less progress has been made in diversifying the engineering workforce, with marginalchange in the proportion of underrepresented minority engineers in the workforce in recentdecades [3], [4]. To address problems of diversification and retention in the STEM workforce,we must explore potential mechanisms to support these aims.The transition from college to the workforce is a critical period for retaining a diverse STEMworkforce.
