, teaching to female learning style—many women prefer to knowthe context before diving into technical details and many want to see a lab concept demonstratedbefore actually carrying it out8. Second, frequently women are in need of assistance withtechnology building block skills they may have less previous experience with, which are oftenassumed in many technology curriculums. Increasingly, CalWomenTech faculty members report Page 22.1555.9that male students often do not come with these problem solving skills either.Subtracting the faculty professional development on retention, the top strategies rated by thestudents cost nothing.

She just recently earned her doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from North Carolina State University where her research spanned three colleges and focused on Engineering Education. Her passions include but are not limited to Engineering Education and Energy Engineering. Lynn is currently an Assistant Professor in the newly founded School of Engineering at Campbell University.Dr. Michele Miller, Campbell University c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017Attracting and Retaining a Diverse Cohort of Engineering Majors:Building a Program from the Ground UpIn Fall

programreviewed, regardless of their sex, had equal access to facilities, laboratories, research equipment,research opportunities, and programs and benefits offered by the University. Energy’s first reportcontained a great deal of anecdotal information, and the results of conversations with individuals,but little data other than the gender composition of the cohort of graduate students and faculty.The department’s second report did contain more actual data, but still skewed toward reliance onanecdotal reporting. Thus, although Energy found the institutions in compliance with the law, thelack of data and the overall content of the reports makes it difficult to determine the bases forthese findings of compliance. It appears that Energy based its findings

to lack of prior knowledge on the topic” “I think you need to change the lectures based on the age level of the group. Because the majority of my group took chemistry, some of the material was review”To combat this, topics that would be considered “review” were always paired with an interactiveactivity to encourage engagement and discussion from the students who have already seen thetopic while still teaching the important information to those who have not.Transfer of Learning ImplementationOur approach to improving comprehension through transfer of learning was realized in threemajor ways throughout the week. One way was the design project, which will be covered inmore detail in the following section. The second was through

The officer team and executiveboard gives the students a great opportunity to learn and practice extensive leadership skills thatthey then carry with them into the rest of the campus and later into the work place.The entire officer team is given training at the three officer retreats during the year. The trainingis not limited to information about SWE and the section, but also includes leadership training andteam building activities. Being a part of the officer team teaches members to haveresponsibilities outside of academics, to interact on a one to one basis with other members of thesection and to manage their time and activities.Another integral part of the officer retreats is strategic planning for

latest technology with new knowledge and design.7 Technology is chosenand mediated by those in social power and domination, which has traditionally been anexclusively male domain.8 This domination has led to a monopoly of male engineers in controlof the technological knowledge and its power upon society. Male dominance in technology andengineering has rendered gender invisible in the science of design and technology. There is adanger in this rendering as it assumes gender as being non-relevant within the social creation oftechnology. Yet, “universities still tend to reproduce this professional engineering culture and thecorresponding social habit in favor of men” 9 resulting in research and design laboratories asprimarily male dominated spaces
