having a goodunderstanding of what engineering is as a major and a field. That understanding itself variesdepending on what type of engineering program the first year student is in, and what gender theyare. The majority of participants however saw engineering as cross functional, responding thatengineers work with people, machines and technology to solve problems and help society. Thismultifaceted view is a positive sign for the freshmen engineers, as they will often have to workon projects and in areas that can span several engineering and non-engineering fields. Regardlessof major, the first year students showed a grasp of the fundamentals of engineering beingproblem solving and improving.Incoming engineering students also have largely

Her research focuses on ways to encourage more students, especially women and those from nontraditional demographic groups, to pursue interests in the eld of engineering. Janet assists in recruitment and retention efforts locally, nationally, and internationally, hoping to broaden the image of engineering, science, and technology to include new forms of communication and problem solving for emerging grand challenges. A second vein of Janet’s research seeks to identify the social and cultural impacts of technological choices made by engineers in the process of designing and creating new devices and systems. Her
