perceived group roles in the context of first-year engineering courses, weexplored female students’ learning experience in a group project setting in this work-in-progress using Benne and Sheats’ functional roles model. Based on our qualitativedata, we found that female students performed a range of roles in the group project. Inthe dimension of task roles, female students usually took the roles of assistants, opiniongiver, coordinators and initiator-managers. In the dimension of social roles, femalesserved as harmonizers, followers or gatekeepers. As to the dimension of individual roles,some female students self-reported the feeling of being an outsider in working with aproject group. Suggestions were proposed to promote engineering curriculum

As it is asmall campus, the total number of students involved in the project is not large (~20), andstudents are primarily freshman and sophomore level.Each meeting, participants were given a discussion prompt which related to a current topic inengineering. Some were specific to the female experience in engineering, such as how toapproach a superior with a problem, while others were more broad, such as how to give aneffective presentation. Topics were determined from a wide variety of sources, such as theSociety of Women Engineers, American Association of University Women, and Association forWomen in

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

This leadership structure required that a new project manager be trainedeach year and occasionally the learning curve was fairly steep. During the 2004-2005academic year, WMW transitioned to a leadership structure that provided morecontinuity. Specifically, each year WMW has two project managers, one senior projectmanager and one junior project manager. Essentially, applicants for the projectmanager’s position agree to a two year term. Project managers are selected so that one isan engineer and one is a scientist. The project managers create the mentoring groups

Discourse completion interviews with 23 female engineeringprofessionals and 19 female undergraduates asked participants to identify how they wouldrespond to situations where a teammate is dominating a project. We find that while students tendto either avoid conflict or correct
