Decades after recognizing the need for more women engineers,increasing the number of women enrolling in engineering graduate schools still remains achallenge. From ASEE data published for 2017, record percentages of engineering degrees wereawarded to women for Bachelors, Masters, and PhDs at 21.3%, 25.7%, and 23.5% respectively.Per the US
industry.Demand for Technicians. The demand for technicians and technologists in the aerospaceindustry in total is not available through the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (USBLS) website(www.bls.gov). The US demand for aircraft and avionics mechanics and technicians is expectedto grow 5%, with an increase in employment of 7,300 from 2019-2029 which does not includethe replacements due to retirement or other attrition [10]. The outlook for Aerospace Engineeringand Operations Technicians is expected to grow 7%, with an increase of 800 technicians between2019-2029 [11]. The outlook for Aerospace Engineers is listed as an increase of 1900 between2019-2029 [12]. These are only a fraction of the technically demanding careers for degreedtechnologists and
solving skills. Many researchersand practitioners propose moving from using the acronym STEM to science, technology,engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM). The difference in STEM and STEAM is theinclusion of arts of any kind, aligning artistic creativity with STEM learning. Zimmerman andSprung concluded that motivation and self-confidence in computing for females is increasedwhen they can learn CS in the context of a content area, they are already comfortable with [1].Recognizing this cross-disciplinary connection approach, Mississippi State Universityresearchers in 2014 integrated a physical art component module that enabled girls to designrobots using crafting material, with positive results. In 2019, the team piloted a 4-day camp
women not only fill the state’s need for a highly skilled work force, but also provide apath to financial security for their families. Just saying we should engage these learners is notenough, we need to provide targeted support- curricular, academically and socially.References[1] Bowman, K. (2015).

Backyards and BeyondAbstractThis paper presents three models for integrating environmental justice topics into environmental/ civil engineering courses. The first model utilizes a qualitative perspective, based on a videorecording of the community panel at the 2019 American Society for Engineering Education(ASEE) Annual Conference. This panel provides numerous examples of environmental justiceissues from the lived perspective of residents, including issues associated with industrial airpollutants from Tonawanda Coke in New York and drinking water in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,and Flint, Michigan. Segments of this video were integrated into a fall 2020 course for first-yearcivil engineering students, in relation to the assignments on ethics and

The full-dayworkshop was designed to provide a safe space for African American women engineering faculty to cometogether to discuss challenges and opportunities for supporting their professional development. Morespecifically, the workshop goals were as follows: 1. Discuss the salient challenges African American women engineering faculty face and brainstorm solutions to resolve these problems; 2. Develop an agenda for addressing the issues they face; 3. Offer support and encouragement for their advancement in the academy and national leadership roles; and 4.
