Research suggests that the disproportionately lowrates may result in students disengaging with STEM careers like engineering as they progressthrough middle school and high school. Therefore, to contribute to research exploring the gapbetween exposure and enrollment in engineering programs, this work in progress paper intendsto explore the relationship between middle school students’ perceptions of engineering, theirinterests, and self-efficacy to better understand how an out-of-school engineering interventionmay influence their engineering career aspirations.This paper uses a concurrent mixed-method, case-study approach, to analyze participants’ surveyand interview data to

Following the experiment, students are required to write a report summarizingand interpreting their findings in analogy of a regular laboratory experiment. This includes theinterpretation of the observed effect of parameter changes (such as crosslink density, solventswelling ratio, temperature) and the comparison with theoretical predictions. Students are alsoasked to replot the data obtained from the

Given there is such an interest indiversifying the engineering professoriate, a logical question is what is the status of the tenure-line black engineering faculty 5-years after the pledge? Findings are reported by incorporatingmulti-level factors, including but not limited to gender, rank, geographical location, andprivate/public status of the institutions.

Sinceits implementation in Fall 2017, the Queue has been adopted by 25 courses, 4 advising offices,and has facilitated over 70,000 questions.In the early use cases of the Queue, we identified several benefits for students and instructors,including but not limited to saved time, improved accessibility, and improved use of space sinceoffice hours do not need to be in a fixed location when the queue is used.

pursuing their major [10] [12] [13] [14].Hutchison-Green et al interviewed first-year engineering students to determine what factors, inthe students’ first semester, begin to affect self-efficacy [15]. They found that performancecomparison (i.e., a student comparing his/her performance to his/her peers) makes a significantimpact on self-efficacy, and that depending on the student and the situation, self-efficacy couldeither increase or decrease in response to the situation. Team-based project courses can thusmitigate the possibility of decreasing students’ confidence because they do not require studentsto work individually and then compare their performance to that of their peers. Instead, studentswork together toward a common goal. Team-based

During these sessions faculty benefited from: guest speakers on developing courseoutcomes, teaching methods, and assessment techniques; access to a forum for faculty to discussadapting methods to their various subjects, including potential pitfalls and best practices;receiving peer and technical feedback and support for their new ideas

First, there is an inefficiencyof instructor time, when time is lost while traveling (the instructor devotes three hours to teacha one hour class at the distant location). A dedicated distance room is required twice per week,and such rooms are in heavy demand and often difficult to schedule at our university. Finally,there is a potential for loss of engagement in the far cohort who views class through a screen,most often in lecture format, with limited interaction with peers or the instructor. However, themost compelling reason to adopt a blended course model by the instructor in this study was theopportunity it

Increasingly, instructors and employers are recognizing that athorough knowledge of engineering theory alone (natural sciences, mathematics, and design) isnot enough to prepare a student to be a fully competent engineer.

of fall 2018 had over 2000undergraduate students enrolled [8]. Although overall the university enrolls more undergraduatewomen [9], this is not true for the college of engineering. As reported in 2016 only 24% ofundergraduates and graduates seeking engineering degrees at this university were women [10]. A search of the literature was conducted using the ERIC database, and 89 peer reviewed,academic journal articles published in the last 15 years were found to be relevant to the currentstudy. To be included as a relevant study, the focus had to be on factors influencing women’sdecisions to major in engineering and/or gender differences in influences to choose anengineering or STEM major. Twenty-eight studies clearly met these criteria
