characteristics of students that persist in the Loyola University Chicago Engineering program from the Class of 2022 and 2023? • To what extent and in what ways does a curricular emphasis on active learning promote student engagement and persistence among engineering students, particularly women?Based on the research literature, we hypothesized that students enrolled in the Loyola UniversityChicago engineering program would have a higher level of persistence than students in otherEngineering programs. Also, we hypothesized that engagement would be more critical forwomen than men for persisting in the Engineering program. 5DesignParticipants

results validated in Matlab R2016a). The primary outcome measure was percentagefemale in the incoming orthopaedic residency class by residency year (𝑃"# ). Data were analyzedvia graphical representation (% female by year) and descriptive statistics.Results The results of our mathematical model (Figure 2) suggest that our outreach programmingefforts will increase the rate of women in orthopaedic residency to the critical threshold of 30%[11] within the next 6 years (by 2022) and eventually reach a plateau of 45% female within 10years (by 2025). If we assume worst-case conditions – that is, we underestimate the rates ofmatriculation from our program into orthopaedics – we will achieve 30% female within 10 years,and this will be the

professional identity and willbe added to a revised pre-conference survey in 2022. Benefits of the Conference: Participants were asked six open-ended questions regarding(a) whether the conference met their goals for attending and why/how it met those goals; (b) theimpact the conference had on their knowledge of technology-related careers; (c) the impact theconference had on their interest in technology-related careers; (d) whether the conferenceinfluenced any courses they may be take in the future; (e) whether the conference helped themidentify skills they wanted to improve; and (f) insights they may have gained from theconference. These open-ended questions were coded, using a thematic approach. Reliability forcoding all six sets of open

recruit at the event. This paper andpresentation will share the event’s general program as well as participant feedback collected atthe 2014 InWIC meeting, which demonstrate that the event has been successful in reinforcing thedecision of pursuing a computing career path by young female computing students.BackgroundAccording to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Information Technology (IT) sector isexpected to add almost 1.2 million jobs by 2022, but the number of computing college graduateswill cover less than 40% of these openings.7 Although women earned more than half the collegedegrees awarded in 2012, less than 20% of those degrees were in the computer and informationsciences disciplines.7 By reducing the gender gap in computing, the IT

authenticity.Future WorkThe autoethnographic account of Kayla’s undergraduate experience will continue until hergraduation in 2022. She will continue journaling her experiences, interviewing peers, and talkingwith mentors for data collection. With this work, we intend to use her autoethnographicnarratives to raise awareness about gendered conditions of engineering settings in order topromote diversity and inclusion. We also intend to highlight the impacts of positive internshipand mentorship experiences for women in engineering. We hope awareness creates support andaction towards more diverse, supportive and inclusive engineering environments.References[1] K. Buse, D. Bilimoria, and S.

9 million jobs between2014 and 2022 [1]. In fact, various computer and biomedical engineering fields are projected tohave more than four times the job growth by 2024 compared to the average growth for alloccupations [2]. The necessity for the United States to have a highly qualified STEM work forcehas created national educational initiatives, both secondary and post-secondary, to address theneed to increase the participation of underrepresented people in STEM-related fields. In fact, theU.S. Department of Education [3] outlined specific goals to increase the quality of education andsuccess of undergraduate students. These efforts have included strengthening secondary Careerand Technical Education (CTE) programs and preparing students to

may be hard tomeasure. I have volunteered for more leadership opportunities as a result of running this regionalconference. At NKU, I agreed to serve as an Associate Dean and Chair. I also stepped up whenasked to volunteer with NCWIT, serving in various positions including a 3-year rotation as a co-chair of the Academic Alliance. Finally, I was more confident to volunteer with ACM SIGCSE.I served as ACM/SIGCSE Bulletin co-editor, am currently serving as co-chair for ACM/SIGCSEKidsCamp, and will serve as symposium co-chair for 2022 and 2023. Most, if not all, of theseopportunities resulted from connections I made organizing TRIWIC. I encourage others toorganize a conference! It is fulfilling in and of itself; but more than that, you get to
