She graduated from Virginia Tech with a B.S. in health education in 1993 before beginning a career in the insurance industry. In 2009, she began studying drafting and engineering at Tide- water Community College. As a 2013 Virginia Microelectronics Consortium (VMEC) summer scholar, she conducted thermoelectric thin film research at the Applied

success in technicaleducation.ConclusionThe findings indicate that to increase diversity in technology and engineering education,programs should be designed to (1) build community college students’ technical capital and (2)help them develop professional identities.Moving students from very well-structured problems to ill-structured problems allows studentsto gradually build the knowledge and skills that they need to deal with problems that aretechnically more sophisticated and ill-structured. Such a gradual approach provides students whodo not have technical capital, or a background with doing hands-on activities or tinkering, anopportunity to acquire it upon joining technical or engineering programs.Students develop professional identities for

in the context of rural Haiti, and also through the related efforts to provide technical education and training to community members (capacity building). Personal Remark from Joann Rodríguez: My work with the GREAT IDEA project is the best professional and personal opportunity of my life. We, as engineering students, need courses and research experiences focused in the development of skills to work with and for the community. Engineers should work to solve problems in the simplest way and always keep in mind what the user really needs, rather than the creation of new products to make the user depend on it. For example, with the IBSF, the basic need of safe water can be provided without sophisticated technology and

Examplesof such change include building collaborations among faculty within and across departments,establishing the identity of students as part of a community beyond their chosen major,improving the efficiency and effectiveness of university systems, and perhaps most importantly,developing a framework to think deliberately about ways to effect change. This paper is focusedon describing and categorizing the development of a STEM “identity” over the past decadewithin a metropolitan campus that does not have an overall STEM central mission.The College of Engineering (CoE), established in 1997 as a result of a regional demand

Studentswho lack technical capital are likely to be women and underrepresented populations (students ofcolor and economically disadvantaged students). Without technical capital, they are likely to findthe experience of dealing with ill-structured problems confusing, difficult, and meaningless.Such a negative experience is likely to push them out of technology and engineering fields. Onthe other hand, building their technical capital will provide them the skill and experience thatthey need
