Paper ID #30419A Statewide Policy Driven Approach to Gender EquityDr. Andrea E Surovek, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology Dr. Andrea Surovek is a research scientist working in the areas of biomimicry for sustainable construction and engineering education at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. She is the recipient of the ASEE CE Division Seeley Fellowship and the Mechanics Division Beer and Johnston Outstanding New Mechanics Educator Award. She is a fellow of ASCE and ASCE/SEI. She received her PhD from Georgia Tech, and also holds degrees in both Civil Engineering and Visual and Performing Arts from
offered by technical colleges for business and technicaltechnicians [6]. Eventually the Institute of Incorporated Engineers (IIE) was founded whichbrought electrical, electronic and mechanical engineering technician institutions under one umbrella[9] 2. Subsequently the IIE merged with the Institution of Electrical Engineers to form theInstitution of Engineering and Technology (IET). It embraced technicians and technologists underthe same umbrella in several ways similar to the way American IEEE embraces graduates with fouryear engineering degrees and those with degrees in technology. Similar politics have played out inteaching. In the UK the Office of National Statistics categorized the occupational status of teachingas a profession. In the

She serves as Managing Editor of Engineering Studies and Assistant Editor of the Global Engineering Series at Morgan & Claypool Publishers. Her current research interests
alternative solutions that may ease tensions at issue.Many engineering projects in the U.S. are sources of political conflict, e.g. disputes over thelocation of wind farms; the technology for, and unintended consequences of, extracting naturalgas from shale formations; environmental effects of mining projects; location and risks of off-shore oil drilling; new pipeline location and environmental risks. Although such disputes canreach fever pitch, they have rarely ended in violent conflict, thanks to the country’s strongtraditions and institutions for legal and legislative conflict resolution. In many developingcountries, by contrast, groups that viewed their vital interests at stake in engineering decisionshave sometimes resorted to violence to
