kits involvedthe use of a light sensor and a microprocessor that the students programmed. Surveys of thestudents from the beginning of the semester have shown that only one of the five female studentsrated themselves as confident in their abilities to create an electronic circuit. The results ofpreliminary and final surveys were used to explore the success of the wearable electronicsproject to increase the confidence the students have in their abilities, and whether it encouragesfemale student engagement in its introduction of electrical engineering.IntroductionCurrently, Rowan University’s female student body represents only 15% of the total populationof engineering students. The impetus behind the creation of this laboratory project was

Likewise, eliminating masculine-associated language frompromotional materials and decorating rooms in a gender-neutral manner can help increase theparticipation of females.11, 22Engineering programs typically include a rich set of hands-on laboratories that supportclassroom-based curriculum. These hands-on laboratories can create particular challenges inmaking a curriculum that is broadly accessible, especially for individuals with disabilities.However, simple UD strategies can often make these labs accessible to a broader audience.

showing that on average, women with Page 26.327.6a science or engineering degree, employed full-time in STEM, earned $75,100.16 On average,men of the same status earned $91,000, a difference of almost $16,000. In 1999, MIT conducteda study on women faculty in their life science departments and found resource discriminationsuch as differences in salary, laboratory size, funding, award nominations, and startuppackages.37 In regards to academic commercialization, according to Murray,40 faculty are ofteninvited to engage in this type of activity by former students involved in entrepreneurship. Thereis some evidence to show that resource discrimination

Thisinteraction may be in the classroom, laboratory, or casually around campus.

Exploration of Science and Math in Technology (E.S.M.T) Summer Camp Our E.S.M.T. Summer Camp was a one week hands-on technology, math, and science camp designed for rising 8th through 12th grade students. Participants engaged in math and science projects that drive technology. Students were immersed in technology laboratories with Math, Science, and Technology faculty, exploring the latest technological trends. Students explored: Math principals and

He later founded and serves as the coordinator of the Cancer Community@Illinois, a group dedicated to advancing cancer-related research and scholar- ship on campus. Research in the Bhargava laboratories focuses on fundamental theory and simulation for vibrational spectroscopic imaging, developing new instrumentation and developing chemical imaging for molecular pathology. Using 3D printing and engineered tumor models, recent research seeks to elucidate hetero-cellular interactions in cancer progression. Rohit’s work has been
