collaboration, quality of peer evaluation, the strategy of teamformation, and communication among team members can raise issues related to the genderand race. These problems can be solved by educating students to deal with possible issuesand understand the importance of diversity. Also, facilitating teams during the semester isessential for reducing any conflict related to gender or race. But, the most important one isthe perception of professors because no problem can be solved if professors do not believethe importance of gender and race in teamwork AcknowledgmentWe would like to thank Dr. Godwin for her guidance in writing this paper.

For evaluating the availability of resources, the faculty werealso asked to rate their level of satisfaction with resources available for nine distinct aspects oftheir academic career. Among all respondents, the lowest areas of satisfaction were with industryrelations and research equipment. Tenure-track faculty reported significantly higher satisfactionthan tenured faculty in five of the nine categories: teaching training, grant writing, professionalnetworking, professional development, and overcoming bias. Gender differences between tenure-track faculty satisfaction were shown to be insignificant, with the exception that women weresignificantly more satisfied with resources for

majorconsiderations for student persistence. Additionally, several studies have found that students aremore reluctant to leave an institution after joining a campus organization [7]. Social connectionsallow students to “bond with other students to achieve a common goal,” such as completing theirdegree program [8].Additionally, non-academic factors like social support (level of social support a student feels theinstitution provides) and social involvement (extent to which a student feels connected to thecollege environment, peers, faculty, and others in college, and degree to which a student isinvolved in campus activities) positively affect student retention [9]. Therefore, it is importantthat students have a variety of opportunities to engage with peers

She was born in the northeastern part of the UnitedStates. She differentiated herself from the other members of her family, “I was probably the leastathletic person ever, so I had to find other things….” She enjoyed reading, writing and drawing.“I became very artistic … and “was super curious” about space

acting,working, collaborating, etc.). Individual choice then is pressured by network peers to conform totheir normative processes and practices. In academia, challenges of interdisciplinarity can beparticularly strenuous. Engineering as a discipline can be viewed as a large network, but when youexamine engineering more closely, you understand that the various subdisciplines are strongnetworks with ties (connections) to the overarching network of engineering. Sometimes crossingdisciplinary lines, even from one subdiscipline of engineering to another can be particularlydifficult – especially as institutional factors (like Tenure & Promotion) are taken intoconsideration. Needless to say, this can be particularly challenging for those

Studies of social identitythreat have shown that women experience a lower sense of belonging and show more cognitiveand physiological vigilance when presented with the prospect of participating in male-dominatedevents compared to more gender-balanced events [33]. Women also report a lower sense ofbelonging than their male peers throughout the undergraduate [34], [35], [36] and graduate years[37], to the detriment of their studies and well-being.

The leadership must be recognized by peers within MU and by knowledgeable people outside MU. In addition, all candidates for promotion should have participated to some appropriate degree in activities of service to MU. While these criteria serve as general guidelines, outstanding candidates should not be deprived of promotion because of the uniqueness of their contribution.At face value, these criteria embody strategic ambiguity: they seem flexible in that they allow fortwo paths to promotion (leadership in teaching or scholarship), and they also leave open thepossibility that unique contributions could be
