Paper ID #38397Supporting Graduate Women in Engineering: The Approach and Findingsof aYear-Long Program at UIUCMs. Aadhy Parthasarathy, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Aadhy Parthasarathy is a Ph.D. candidate in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign (UIUC). Her Ph.D. research is focused on understanding the effects of spatially- and temporally- varying pressure gradients on turbulent boundary layers. She is committed to Diversity, Equity, and In- clusion, and is involved with various related efforts around the UIUC campus.Rupal Nigam, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

significantly predict high-achieving engineering students' progress towarddesired educational outcomes?For this study, the independent variables are course learning, parents’ educational background,scholarships, using academic resources, and motivation. The dependent variable for this study isthe overall gains students make with respect to desired educational outcomes.ParticipantsThe sample participants were college students in their professional programs at the College ofEngineering at Mountain West University in the United States. The sample participants werefrom the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) and Civil andEnvironmental Engineering (CEE). The participants’ age ranged between 20 and 39 years old.

diverse set of practical and conceptual skills.Modeling has become an increasingly important skill due to the rise of computation, which nowlies at the heart of quantitative analysis in science and engineering. As described by Coleman &Steele [5], recent advances in computing have the promise to reduce costly physicalexperimentation through computational modeling. Computational approaches have beenthoroughly adopted in sectors such as aerospace design [6].However, the teaching of modeling in undergraduate engineering is fraught. As noted byDowney [7], “Some students learn (modeling) skills implicitly, but in most schools they are nottaught explicitly, and students get little practice”. Gainsburg [8] has characterized the teaching ofmodeling

this study, as well as the rest of their research, with a desire to improveengineering education for students and create learning experiences that positively engage them inlearning. The student-authors are undergraduate engineering students at a large, public R1university in the northeastern United States who engage in research on engineering judgment,OEMPs, and engineering education. The first author is a second-year student studyingmechanical engineering and the second author is a fourth-year student in aerospace engineering.Both student-authors completed the focal “pool lift” OEMP in their sophomore statics class andscored in the “A” range on the OEMP and in the course. The student-authors feel that the OEMPis a beneficial tool for
