faculty development efforts; focusing the last 6 years on the integration of entrepreneurial mindset into the curriculum. Her engineering education research focuses on the nontraditional engineering student – understanding their motivations, identity development, and impact of prior engineering-related experi- ences. Her work dwells into learning in informal settings such as summer camps, military experiences, and extra-curricular activities. Other research interests involve validation of CFD models for aerospace and industrial applications, as well as optimizing efficiency of thermal-fluid systems.Dr. Jean Nocito-Gobel, University of New Haven Jean Nocito-Gobel, Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the

Godwin, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Engineering Education at Purdue University. Her research focuses what factors influence diverse students to choose engineering and stay in engineering through their careers and how different experiences within the practice and culture of engineering fos- ter or hinder belongingness and identity development. Dr. Godwin graduated from Clemson University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering and Science Education. Her research earned her a National Science Foundation CAREER Award focused on characterizing latent diversity, which includes diverse attitudes, mindsets, and approaches to learning, to understand engineering stu- dents’ identity development.
