measure these responses. Future studies should examine therecruitment policies of engineering students, in order to increase female and minorityrepresentation in the program. Also future studies can discuss if there are any differencesbetween the experiences of the international student versus domestic students in the engineeringfield. Additionally, analysis by gender can also be done to better understand specific experiencesof students in engineering majors. Page 22.288.13 References1 Zidney, A. L., Bennett, J.

-MARC) NIH Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (NIH-RISE) NSF S-STEM projects in industrial engineering and computer scienceAt this point we are early in the process but several events have occurred. There has been a setof joint workshops to teach MATLAB to biologists but these workshops were also attended byengineering faculty and students. While biology students and faculty learned the modelingcapabilities of MATLAB, engineering students and faculty were exposed to the SIMBIOLOGYtoolbox..Recognizing that research into new biomaterials is a significant area of emphasis for modernmaterials research and therefore is an area worthy of study, the mechanical engineeringdepartment faculty has upgraded the course entitled Modern
