Excellence in Laboratory Instruction. She has also implemented new pedagogical methods and teaching standards to broaden students’ problem solving skills, scientific and technological literacy through real-world prob- lems, problem- and project-based learning, and hands-on experiences. She also teaches Introduction to Engineering Design (ENGI 120) for the Rice Center for Engineering Leadership. In 2011, she won the George R. Brown Prize for Excellence in Teaching, the university’s highest teaching award. Page 25.307.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012

wereexplored further in focus groups: balance of work-life and work-load, leadership and careerdevelopment, and equal opportunity.Through our survey, town hall meeting, and focus groups, we found that the evolution of ourcomprehensive institution from a primarily teaching university to an institution where a researchprogram is expected has placed considerable pressure on our faculty, especially those at mid-career. Our heavy teaching responsibilities (inflexible lab schedules, research withundergraduates, course innovation, mentoring/advising), and service commitments constraintime to such an extent that many faculty feel that their research programs suffer or becomesecond jobs. CST women serve on more committees, perform much of the more time

What’s up?” I can definitely feel the intimidation as a young female professor getting into that circle or even as a social group… to meet and network with this large group of old male professors. Interview participants also pointed out that male students usually had “the privilege” tosocialize with their professors outside of the laboratory setting, while their female counterpartswere omitted from many non-academic related social events, such as sporting events, conferencesocials, and barbecues. Such experiences seemed to cause doubt and concern among womendoctoral students about their

to persist within a given major or switch to anotherare complex. The factors that affect student decisions can be broadly classified into three groupsas (a) academic resources, (b) internalization and perceptions of the major and career, and (c)climate and experiential effects. The academic resources include lectures, recitations, andlaboratories; faculty and teaching assistants; university services such as advisors and careerplacement; and academic services such as study centers and academic progress monitoring.Internalization refers to perceptions of the self including confidence, self-efficacy, anddetermination to succeed. Perceptions of the major and career include students’ interest inchoosing and retaining engineering as a major and a
