Predictive ModelNext we seek to develop a statistical formula that will provide an estimate of a student’s time tograduation, in semesters, based on whether the student engages in some of the behaviorsanalyzed in this paper and in our earlier work: - Citizenship and residency status, - Whether the student will be a student-athlete at any time during their studies, - Whether s/he will receive a poor grade (D, F, or Withdrew), AP credit

The module offered methods fordeveloping personal and team leadership styles; addressed differences in learning and personalitystyles; presented pathways for implementing mission statements and plans of action; offeredopportunities for strategic thinking, problem solving and brainstorming; utilized teamwork indiverse settings; and implemented K-12 service learning through outreach teaching activities.Table 1 provides a summary of the lecture topics provided within the leadership

The academy will: • Adopt good management practice—tools for inclusiveness—in its institutions and advocate such practice across the S&T community. • Establish a committee that addresses gender issues and ensures follow-up. • Promote women members to decision-making levels and include them in panels and committees. • Increase the

In response, the National Science Foundationlaunched the ADVANCE grant program in the early 2000’s to fund efforts which increase therepresentation of women STEM faculty and academic leaders
increasing their representation in the non-traditional fieldsof study and are becoming more knowledgeable of technology’s multi-facet components,there still remains significant under-representation of females in areas such as IndustrialTechnology. Nelson (2004) 33 indicated that lack of female representation in technologymay be due to a threefold purpose: “(1) women of the world lack knowledge oftechnology, (2) technology alienates and often exploits women, and (3) decisions abouttechnology are made without women’s voices” (p.2). This is reflected from Mayer’s(1995)27assertion that females comprise only 30 percent of the industrial workforce. Thisglobally illustrates moderate but consistent initiatives. The U. S.

Women Engineers in the Middle East from Enrollment to Career: A Case StudyAbstractThis study investigates the status of women engineers in Lebanon as a case study in theMiddle East region. Through this study, the author investigated the following questions:What are the motives behind female‟s decisions to choose engineering major? What arethe difficulties that female engineers have encountered in their transition from universityto workplace? And what are the perceptions of female regarding the essential skills for asuccessful engineering career? An online survey with Likert-scaled items was completedby 327 female engineers graduated from different universities in Lebanon and working indifferent locations around the world
[22]. During World War II (1939-45),women engaged in roles that were previously exclusive to males although women did not benefitequally [34]. The 1960’s and 1970’s led to the creation of law and programs to promote equityand challenge gender-related disparities including the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the Title IX of theEducation Amendments Act of 1972, and the Women’s Educational Equity Act of 1974 to namea few. Nonetheless, these women scientists continued to bring “modest but essential change tohigher education in the years 1972-1985” [35, p. 39].In the Nineteenth and Twentieth century, women studying or working in engineering wereperceived as outcasts. The first women pursuing engineering were labeled as “others”; a smallthreatening group of
(National Science Foundation, 2004). The2004 Science and Engineering Indicators report from the National Science Foundation (NSF)indicates that there is a “troubling decline in the number of U.S. citizens who are training tobecome scientists and engineers, whereas the number of jobs requiring science and engineering(S&E) training continues to grow” (p.1). “If trends continue the United States will lose its abilityto fill the growing demand for science and engineering jobs, yielding [its] global standing tonations such as China and India who are training thousands more engineers and scientists than isthe U.S.” (O’Brien, 2004, p. 1). Furthermore, it was noted that in 2004 the U.S. graduatedapproximately 70,000 undergraduate engineers, while China

Family, cultural, economic and social factors influence this under-representation, factorswhich tend to reduce women´s self-concept on learning and ability in this area. Women have lowerself-concept in the STEM disciplines than do men, consequently the dropout rate for women is doublethat of men [3].An intervention was designed aiming to promote and increase self-concept in learning capabilities infirst-year engineering students in Computer Engineering and Industrial Engineering.
