universities, where the researchers asked participants aboutproblems they encountered during their engineering curriculum and to comment on problemscenarios. Findings suggest that students often lack resources for effectively solving teamproblems, though “high achieving” students, defined as having a self-reported GPA of 3.5 orabove, are often more proactive when dealing with slacker teammates, using strategies such assetting early deadlines or selecting teammates known also to be high achievers. However, acrossthe board, students preferred to “do nothing” when dealing with domineering or exclusionaryteammates.These findings shed light on the disproportionate burden women and under-representedminorities face in team projects and the lack of resources

obtain research experience and become confident and motivated to pursue their graduatestudy:  Research activities: Combined with students’ interest and background, each WIECE student was associated with a specific research project and she performed research directly supervised by the author. One student worked on low-power logic circuit design and the other one worked on reliable SRAM schematics and layout optimization. The students attended weekly research meetings with author’s graduate students and attended research discussions and presentations.  Professional development activities: the WIECE students were engaged in many aspects of professional development, including preparing

undergraduates in class.User-Centered DesignUser-Centered Design (UCD) is a required course for all engineering majors taken during eitherthe second semester of the first-year or the first semester of the second-year. It introducesstudents to strategies for identifying the needs, capabilities and behaviors of a user group, anddeveloping designs that reflect the empathy gained for the user group to address their needs. Itincludes iterative design methods to elicit user requirements, generate alternative designs,develop low-fidelity prototypes, and evaluate designs from the perspective of the users. Theculminating course project involves students developing relationships with and designing anengineering innovation that meets the needs of users in the

the 2015 Best Diversity Paper.Mejia, et al., [3] presented a paper nominated by the K-12 and Pre-College Engineering Divisionexploring Latinx adolescents’ perceptions of engineering and their engineering abilities afterparticipation in community-based design projects. Students were from working class familiesand most had parents with limited education who worked in farming or other manual laboractivities. The adolescents, ages 14-17, worked in teams to identify a problem in theircommunity and to use engineering design to solve the problem. Most of the participants changedboth their perceptions of engineering as well as their self-efficacy as they worked on theseprojects. The design experience influenced participants’ perceptions of

) and projected (2016+)female enrollment in the orthopaedic residency class. “Baseline” represents model withparameter values reflecting our current program evaluation results. “Worst-Case” reflects worst-case assumptions for parameter values in terms of recruitment and retention in the orthopaedicspipeline. Considering the duration of our programming efforts (Figure 3), if we were to cease allprogramming immediately (2015), our past programming efforts would yield a peak diversity of27% female in 10 years (2025) before declining back to the 14% baseline within 12 years (2027).Similarly, if we were to continue programming only for 5 more years (until 2020), we wouldexpect an identical peak of 27% female within 10 years. This peak would

In addition to peer coaching sessions (5 total) and journal entries (8totals), the final grade was also based on class participation and a final project (chosen by thestudent based on their interests related to a course topic). Class was structured so as to be mostlydiscussion-based with students reading articles and completing assignments before class to aid indiscussion led by the instructor or a content-expert guest facilitator.
