particularlydifficult to unpack because it has to do with gender identity: what it means to identify as – andto be seen as – masculine.21 Male privilege in the workplace can be seen in the frequentassumption that a doctor or a manager is a man, and in the continuing trend that male jobapplicants are more likely to be hired than women applicants with comparable credentials.21 Asimilar female privilege exists with respect to professions seen as nurturing or supportive:nursing, childcare, even teaching (especially at the primary level), and secretarial/administrativesupport roles. In the next section, we explore the roots of these gender privileges in genderschemas and probe the consequences of schema violation for female engineering students.Interestingly

Benefits of TBL include a moreinteractive and engaged classroom, student practice of problem solving, teamwork, and life-longlearning skills. Assessment results showed that over 86% of students surveyed had favorableexperience with TBL. In addition, similar positive experience was reported from students indifferent gender and race, in different academic levels and with different academic performances.These results show that TBL is a teaching pedagogy that can benefit a wide range of students.IntroductionTeam Based Learning (TBL) has been shown to be an effective collaborative learning tool inhealthcare professional schools such as medical, pharmacy and nursing

Solidmodeling software has become widely used in education over the past decade, primarily inexisting engineering graphics courses. Because solid modeling is an integral part of the productdesign cycle, it can be used as a gateway to explore engineering design and to relate courseworkto real world applications. The use of solid modeling software at the freshman level also has thepotential for

Video demonstrations of real-world applications are used to raise students’ interest and keep their attention throughout the class. The 2.5-hour class is always divided into two sessions.

In addition, thecourse is intended to link knowledge and application of engineering principles to professionalethics and values, and to foster the academic and personal growth of the students. Unfortunately,the previous offerings of this course failed to deliver the desired learning experiences due to (1)the disparate nature of the content and delivery from session to session (2) the lack of continuityacross sessions (3) the absence of a common thread to bind the content of the course.In order to overcome these drawbacks and to teach engineering design and practice in the context 1-2of society, ethics, and economics, the course has been restructured by
