However, when SET results were grouped by perceived instructor gender(i.e. both the female and male instructors, when the students believed each was female), studentsrated the perceived male instructor as significantly better than the perceived female instructor.These findings support the idea that there is a real bias that exists among students in evaluatinginstructors, not simply a difference in the teaching styles or teaching effectiveness betweenfemale and male instructors.Another study performed a laboratory experiment where students were shown an identicallecture delivered by a stick figure with a gender-neutral

considerincorporating entrepreneurship education for students (Duval-Couetil et al., 2012; Duval-Couetilet al., 2016). According to Duval et al. (2012), most engineering students recognized theimportance of entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship as a “worthwhile career option”(p. 429). Students with entrepreneurial experiences chose “satisfying a need in a market” as atop reason for entering an entrepreneurship career (Duval-Couetil et al., 2012). Students withentrepreneurship experiences ranked higher in self-efficacy and confidence per the student’sperspective of entrepreneurial ability.Further, the National Science Foundation Innovation Corps (I-Corps) program “preparesscientists and engineers to extend their focus beyond the laboratory” (NSF, I

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.
