panel brings together a group of men with diverse backgrounds and experiences to discusstheir perspectives and offer practical skills for men to effectively serve as advocates for genderequity. This paper augments the panel and captures the backgrounds, experiences, perspectives,and recommendations of the panelists, thereby providing a lasting resource for those unable toattend the panel or future interested individuals. The information we present targets men andadministrators, who will better understand the barriers to advocacy, learn best-practices ofeffective advocacy, and hear first-hand experiences of successful advocacy.BackgroundMany factors – systemic and non-systemic, conscious and unconscious, policy and climate – cannegatively impact

AFB.Patricia Chaffey, University of Southern California Patricia Chaffey has had a passion for studying and designing interaction between humans and technology since her undergraduate career at Mount Holyoke College, and continues to pursue this interest at the University of Southern California. Some of her notable work includes developing a robotic learning companion and designing a simulation to study how people interact with swarms of robots using a virtual agent as an intermediary. Patricia has received awards to support her travel to conferences and leadership workshops, which include, but are not limited to, the 2018 ELIS Expanding Horizons award, and the 2017 Computing Research Association – Women Grace Hopper

Vives wrote, “No greater danger for sons of the poor exists than a cheap,inferior, and demoralizing education” [26].

research.This has diminished efforts to teach the means and methods of bringing scientific discovery andengineering inspiration into material practice.Engineering firms and manufacturers who employ new graduates lament that a majority of earlycareer engineers require excessive mentoring and educating to make them productive asdesigners. Their education made them great analysts, but sold them short on design andfabrication skills. This lament is common knowledge among engineering principals, but onlyshared through private discussions between peers. However, it has surfaced in anonymouslyconducted surveys, a major one as part of a report sponsored by the Governing Board of theNational Research Council (NRC), Education of Architects and Engineers for

This leads us to wonder what the impact is upon women students’ interest inan engineering career from taking a course such as ours, compared to the impact upon women’sstudents’ interest in an engineering career where the outcomes of the design process are moretangible.A second line of research may also be suggested by our course. It has been shown thatengineering students have difficulty connecting the dots between what they learn about ethicaltheory in their classes and engineering design problems (for example, see Michelfelder andJones, 2016). There is some debate within the engineering community as to whether or not ethicsis best presented through case studies or as ethical theory. Does emphasizing the process ofthinking like an

The transitionfrom STEM to STEAM can have that global impact by leveraging the arts as a way to communicate andconnect globally.Key words: Art, aesthetics, design in engineering, expressive and sensory qualities, form.IntroductionAesthetics as a subject of formal study in higher education was first emphasized by John Dewey for theUS schools. Dewey referred to art as an experience between the artist, the work of art and its observer[1]. Each time an observer looks at Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, a new Mona Lisa is born. Art is acontinuum from the germination of an idea to the culmination of a complex creation in its supremeform. Aesthetics is a common thread in this process which is essentially a process of the

“Technology Literacy: How StuffWorks.”14 An example of the impact of these types of courses is that pre-service elementaryteachers lowered anxiety, increased perceived value, and increased motivation for science andtechnology.Union College has directly addressed the perceived (or actual) gap between engineering and theliberal arts and have proposed a Converging Technology paradigm to address this gap.15 Theyask the two important questions about this discontinuity. “Can we continue to produce liberalarts graduates who have little understanding of the technical world in which they live? Can weafford to produce engineers with little understanding of implications of those technologies forthe world?” They offer the following definition of technological
