to improve learning outcomes. A large body of research oncollaborative learning points to the benefits of students’ learning from one another (Lave andWenger, 1991; Mentkowski & Associates, 2000; Seymour and Hewitt, 1997; Prince and Felder,2006). Prince (2004), in his review of literature on active learning, found that team-basedapproaches to learning can increase students’ skills, positive attitudes, and retention.How, then, can we make student teams more equitable, over-coming well-documented trendswhere women have fewer opportunities than men to gain and demonstrate technical competence?How can we persuade women to persist on teams—and in their engineering career paths morebroadly—despite interpersonal interactions that may make them

These “tacit messages to students about values, attitudes and principles”[2, p. 88] can guide the academic and career path for minorities in engineering and when revealed,can positively reinforce formal curricula through countervailing influences [7]. Neither the positiveor negative implications nor the mechanisms behind HC in engineering have been explored.The only study published explicitly alluding to the outcomes of HC in engineering was asociological study of the experiences of women graduate students in engineering [11]. Whileimportant in uncovering the chilly climates for many women in engineering [11], the study did notpoint to any specific mechanisms nor did it include researchers from

high school seniors to college freshmen, the first year of engineering iscritical. In an attempt to facilitate this transition and motivate students as they begin theiracademic careers, many colleges provide summer bridge programs [1]. Summer bridge programsaim to provide incoming students with early contact and enriching experiences believed tofacilitate the acquisition of the skills needed to be successful in college. However, students canhave varying experiences even if they participate in the same activities. Since studies focusing onsummer bridge programs are typically quantitative and primarily focus on academic performanceand retention [2, 3], we know little about how these experiences vary and the many different waysstudents may

This paper will provide a brief overview of research into the effect of professor (andstudent) gender on the SET scores, and briefly explore recommendations for mitigating theeffects of bias.SET is intended to quantify teaching effectiveness. However, it is not clear that this is what SETsolely (or even primarily) measures. For example, one study showed a weak but positivecorrelation between the

The study used a combination of meta-analyticand structural modeling methods to develop input correlation matrices for path analytical tests ofthe Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) academic performance model developed by Lent,Brown, and Hackett (1994). SCCT seeks to predict how academic interests are formed and themeans by which academic performance is achieved. College GPA and retention were used asperformance criterion in the model. SCCT is based on the premise that general cognitive talent(i.e. academic preparedness), as represented by a students’ standardized test scores and highschool GPA, impacts college GPA and retention. This is shown in Brown’s study to happen bothdirectly and indirectly via mediating paths through a
