, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and Computer Science(CS) education. He is also interested in improving STEM+CS education for minorities. He has been volunteering in many education outreach programs including Science Fair and Robotics programs such as First Robotics competitions. Areas of research interest include engineering education, STEM+CS, and robotics in K-12 education. Kaya advocates his view that research, teaching and learning are best practiced as a unified enterprise that benefits students and society. He has received numerous teaching awards as well as grants for his research from several foundations. Kaya is an active member of AERA, ASEE, ASTE, NARST, NSTA, and CSTA, has presented at over 15 conferences

and instructor in the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Colorado Boulder. 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

achapter’s membership, interest, purpose, and structure are related.In order for chapters to have a broad and meaningful impact on engineering education at theuniversity level and in the local community, chapters will benefit from broader involvement fromadministrators, faculty, staff, and community members from multiple disciplines. When lookingacross the active and dormant chapters, the majority of members are engineering students. Inaddition to the narrow range in membership, the majority of chapters appear to focus first onsupporting and encouraging undergraduate and graduate students in their educational endeavors,and second, on supporting teaching practices and outreach at the college and pre-college level.Few chapters seem to focus on or

needed to be successful in the upcoming year[4]. The National Association of Campus Activities defines effective leadership transition as:“the process by which past and future student leaders in an organization work together to reviewand learn from previous events and programs and prepare for the upcoming year.” [4]. Thispaper investigates leadership transitions in six different Student Sections of the Society ofWomen Engineers (SWE) to determine best practices for different size sections.The SWE student sections aim to "stimulate women to achieve full potential in careers asengineers and leaders, expand the image of the engineering profession as a positive force inimproving the quality of life, demonstrate the value of diversity."
