recruitmore female students to the STEM fields by showing them the emerging and multidisciplinaryaspects.Our collaboration with the local high school started in Fall 2014 by offering their students a year-long robotics workshop. Our objective is to utilize the robotics workshop to introduce STEMconcepts to high school students, and encourage them to be interested in an engineering andscience career. A sequence of workshop topics were given to introduce the fundamentals ofrobotics science and the basic components of a robotics system, including hardware, software,programming, sensors, and control. The students would gain intensive experience working withthe robots. In addition to introducing the fundamentals, we planned to prepare the students withthe

devices.Mentoring: The participants interacted with college student mentors, local technologyentrepreneurs and corporate leaders, minority inventors, and other speakers, to encourage self-efficacy. The National Cares Mentoring Network provided training to program staff on thementoring needs of African-American boys.Middle School Teachers: Each of the universities integrated middle school teachers into programactivities. Teacher involvement ranged from being embedded with students who were learningthe new skills, to having teachers develop lesson plans to use for instruction in their schools.Morgan State University hosted a week-long 3D modeling workshop where teachers developedfour transdisciplinary lesson plans based on 3D modeling that could be

Therefore, graduation rates for engineering majors arebased on only those that make it through these Gateway courses. At The Citadel, students mustdeclare a major before they arrive to campus for their first semester. The Registrar’s Office thenbuilds the appropriate course schedule around their major choice. So each student counts ingraduation statistics from the day they enter The Citadel. Therefore, some type of plan wasneeded to address the issues mentioned above.The new Dean led an inclusive team to establish a six year strategic plan (LEAD 2018) whilepresenting data noting areas

Surveys indicated that the event wassuccessful in promoting self-efficacy.IntroductionThis paper discusses the Robotics Competition and Family Science Fair for grades 4-8 sponsoredby the Latino STEM Alliance, which was held at the end of the school year in an inner cityneighborhood in Boston.. In it, we will discuss the motivation for this event, its planning, itsexecution, its assessment, and next steps in the partnership between Latino STEM Alliance andSuffolk University.BackgroundEvidence has shown that robotics programs can encourage interest among underrepresentedgroups and others in studying STEM 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

,professional insight was not limited to the explicit training provided by the workshops. Forexample, many Latina/o participants spoke of learning how to present themselves asprofessionals by observing and interacting with their peers.Participants spoke of organizational development training designed to help them learn theknowledge and skills related to the daily operation of the organization that would also translateinto the workplace. Through their membership and experiences within NSBE and SHPE, AfricanAmerican and Latina/o engineering students develop skills such as planning and businessmanagement skills. Furthermore, the responsibilities they shouldered in their leadership positionsfrequently put them in control of situations that challenged them

least not until the project was over. Instructors rarely, if ever, learned about problems earlyenough to intervene. Students repeatedly told us that it was not worth going to the instructor todiscuss team problems. Furthermore, there was a general sentiment that problem teammates areinevitable and there is little an instructor is willing, or even able, to do.This sense that slackers and other problem teammates are inevitable was also expressed by manyof the faculty Hunter (2009) interviewed. However, as we already established, many problemswith slacker teammates—and, to a lesser extent, problems with exclusion—could have beenprevented with clearer planning and communication about expectations. Such problems can beeasily resolved by teaching

outset,students were introduced to key library professionals and digital search tools which they employedto review literature relevant to their research foci, forming a basis for research proposals. By weekfour, students presented their research plans before a panel of faculty and student judges. To enrichindividual research experiences, weekly seminars with guest lectures and discussions on moderndrivers of STEM research were integrated in this summer research program. In order to completethe program, each student produced three final deliverables - an oral presentation, a technicalposter and a final paper. In addition, students were exposed to an industrial R&D setting througha visit to a multinational corporation known for its innovation

The size of thebanquet has varied over time, but has reached over 100 attendees on multiple occasions. Inaddition to the banquet, attendance at the national convention has been a consistent goal ofNSBE during its duration at the university.

orthopaedics within the next 6 years.By 2022, we expect that we will achieve 30% female in the residency population, an acceptedcritical threshold for maintaining minority populations within professions [11]. Even with worst-case assumptions for our recruitment and retention results, we would nearly achieve this criticalthreshold by 2025. Again, planning for worst-case conditions, if we were to cease all of ourprogramming efforts after 5-10 years, we would still achieve at or near 30% female for a periodof time (5-10 years) before the effects of our intervention wear off. This may be enough time forthe culture of the field to shift enough, i.e., orthopaedics seen as more “female friendly” bymedical students, to have a permanent effect on gender

. Women discussedstereotypes at additional length in the open comments section of the survey.4. ConclusionsBased on the survey data we have concluded that the Industrial Distribution climate is overallpositive for both male and female participants. This is based on the fact that the majority ofrespondents reported satisfaction and did not report instances of gender stereotyping, internaldiscrimination, or internal harassment.Despite this positive climate however, the research has shown evidence that a glass ceiling ispresent for women in the industry. Additionally, men are less likely to acknowledge theexistence of this glass ceiling indicating that firms could benefit from succession planning,training, and consideration for women in the industry

Because facultyplay such a primary role in the life of the university, it is essential to better understand theirattitudes and actions towards diversity.12A review of the literature indicates that most faculty support the notion that a diverse studentbody is good for student learning even though many faculty believe that students of color are notas qualified as applicants from the majority group.13-15 While many institutions, colleges, anddepartments have developed diversity plans, statements and initiatives, a disconnection oftenexists between institutional policy and faculty commitment to diversity.16 Most troubling is thatengineering faculty, who are predominately

thestudents. The other aspect of this paper is to identify and suggest action plans to increase thenumber of underrepresented students who enter the COE. The concrete research question of thisstudy is: Can high school information for underrepresented students and their ACT scores beused to predict the student’s academic performance? We hypothesize that, academic performancefrom underrepresented high schools cannot alone be used to predict the performance of a student.A student’s success is determined on motivational and personal characteristics24. Admitting astudent based solely on the current criteria is not a good practice. In our study, an additionalquantitative factor, URS, will be introduced to assist in admitting underrepresented
