The major population he primarily focuses on is STEM undergraduate and graduate students. He has received extensive qualitative and quantitative methodological training in the area of educational psychology. He acquired a Bachelor’s of Science in Human Resources Management and a Masters of Educational Technology from California State University, Long Beach, and a Master’s of Program Evaluation and a Doctorate of Philosophy from the University of Texas at Austin. Prior to joining the Penn State University, he worked as a research fellow
team member at the Institute for Leadership Education in Engineering (ILead).

Dr. Slaughter earned a Ph.D. in Engineering Science from the Uni- versity of California, San Diego (UCSD), an M.S. in Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Kansas State University. He holds honorary degrees from 30 colleges and universities. Recipient of the first U.S
departmental-level leadership classes available to both chemical and materialsengineering majors, and more recently an expansion of the program to a broader set of studentsacross the college through a set of elective courses. Moreover, the college is developing aleadership module for its introductory engineering course work for all students in the college.Longitudinal studies of the attitudes of graduates who participated in these efforts will greatlyaugment our current understanding of where college efforts are bearing fruit and where futureimprovements are required.Literature Cited:[1] Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.

a student-generated strategy for combattingdeclining female student enrollment and a poor retention rate. The study relied upon a survey ofmembers of a student organization, Women in Technology, for data. Open-ended questions wereincluded. Brand and Kasarda [11] studied female students enrolled in a high school roboticsprogram and at an all-women’s college, to determine the influence of social interactions onfemale engineering students. Encouraging female students to experiment with engineering in acollaborative environment was a goal for both programs. The qualitative study was conductedwithin a socio-cultural framework, assuming that individuals learn from communicating with oneanother and that interaction results in collective
