successful in securing federalfunding for and implementing a number of relevant programs, employing forapproximately a dozen years an integrated model for the first two years of undergraduateengineering education3,4,5,6,7,8. This has reaped significant rewards in student success,retention, and satisfaction.Faculty expectations in the college for teaching, research, and service vary fromdepartment to department. Tenure-track/tenured faculty typically teach three to sixcourses per year and are generally expected to contribute to two to four proposals peryear (at least some of which can be as a co-PI). One to two publications are expected peryear, in general, as well as reasonable production of PhD and master’s students.Teaching and research are both

interactive way. Within the curriculum andvarious activities, we wanted to incorporate general themes females face in STEM fields,especially in the Computer Science community. For example, some of these themes include:breaking gender stereotypes, dealing with peer pressure, having an interest but lackingresources, etc. Different from the majority of other camps, this camp has unique teachingstyles, structures, and learning which extends beyond the duration of the one-week camp.2.

In addition, she is actively engaged in the development of a vari- ety of informal science education approaches with the goal of exciting and teaching K-12 students about regenerative medicine and its potential. Most recently, she has started to engage in the development of programs aimed at retaining women within Chemical Engineering including mentor lunches with visiting female seminar speakers, a leadership book club and sexual harassment workshops.Mrs. Lauren M.

from the fictional character Mary Poppinsare used to describe a variety of approaches and methods that have been developed andimplemented for effective leadership in academia by the author, a woman who is an engineeringdepartment chair (head) and director of a large national industry/university cooperative researchcenter. Following an introduction that includes background and motivation, a brief review of theliterature on academic leadership and gender differences in leadership is presented. Threeprimary approaches are then described, including: 1) know your organization, 2) fostercollaboration, a sense of team and community, and 3) serve as an example of excellence. Detailsof several methods and strategies are provided for implementing each

in conducting all aspects of the project. I was able to research individuals who I felt would be personally beneficial in the mentoring component of the project. After Ms. Irvin completed the actual oral history interview, I assisted in transcribing the oral history interviews and organizing all the components for the IRB packets. Additionally, I presented this research with Ms. Irvin on several occasions at the conclusion of the summer and worked on submitting the research to CUR’s 2014 Posters on the Hill session. As for the technology portion of the project, I read through a paper on the topology of integrated circuits as it was in review to spot any edits from an outside perspective. This gave me the opportunity to learn about a

The educational community refersto these familiar ideas as “everyday examples”.The use of everyday examples has become common in textbooks, at least according to thepublishers. A cursory review of the marketing descriptions of science and engineering textbookswill undoubtedly find that many describe the use everyday examples to make the content moreaccessible to students.6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 While not every textbook is truly using examples that relateto the everyday experience of college students
