important role in attracting women to theengineering fields. When one asks women students why they have chosen engineering, they oftenrefer to the challenge: the challenge of mastering such difficult and complex subjects, of solvingpractical problems, of creating things that work9. Since mostly very good and talented women gointo engineering programs, they are often top of the class and they rise to the challenge2. The realchallenge for a woman engineer comes when they start working. “To be a minority in a maledominated profession implies all kinds of barriers”9. It is the culture of engineering; sometimeswith competition opposed to cooperation; sexist perceptions and attitudes; and salarydiscrepancies that makes working environment very difficult

experience from this past summer’s course will be presented. Introduction Similar to the report published by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 1982 on Women, Minorities, and Persons With Disabilities in Science and Engineering, the 2000 report found that at all levels of education and in employment, women are less likely than men to choose science and engineering fields1. On a positive note, the report also shows that in 1996, women received 55.2% of all bachelors’ degrees, 55.9% of all masters’ degrees, and 40.9% of all doctoral degrees conferred. However, the percentage of engineering degrees conferred at each level are 17.9%, 17.1% and 12.3% respectively. In 1996, women represented 53.4% of the total enrollment at 4- year institutions, but

constantlyassessing the mastering of the concepts by the students. In addition, variations ofthe POK aspects are useful for challenging the students to build more blocks ofknowledge and for quizzing the students’ level of understanding within a givenframework. For example, the suggestion to derive energy conservation equationshas been used after the Fourier law has been introduced (see Arce, 1994a), andvariations of the SBM (see below) have been used to assess the students’understanding of concepts related to the continuum. By using some of theseactivities, the instructors can effectively assess the level of comprehension in thestudents and propose corrective measures to achieve the required level ofmastering in a given topic.During this presentation

Through a combination of lecture and laboratory experi-ences the students gain an appreciation for the basic theory and its application. In particular, theygain an understanding of issues related to meshing, the influence of boundary conditions, and theinterpretation of results. This project-based approach to the finite element method gives the stu-dents an appreciation for how powerful the method can be in performing structural analysis.Bibliography1.
