Rather than recitingresearch, a gender equity assessment tool was designed to present the current findings in theliterature and to evaluate the WI participants’ awareness of gender equity. The PhD team thenfacilitated gender equity discussions with the teachers and counselors by soliciting examplesfrom the group. Next, the participants worked in small teams to identify gender bias in textbooksand to examine biases in teacher-to-student interactions through a case study analysis. The groupalso viewed and discussed the teacher-to-student interactions shown in a video. The PhD teamalso devised specific strategies to improve curriculum, instruction, and classroom climate

Curricular ways to improve interest in engineering include design-based learningexperiences, introducing current real-world engineering challenges, and connecting students topotential employers. Future work will include identifying or designing an interest interventionand measuring its impact with a controlled research design.In addition to designing an interest intervention for C-students, we plan to do several moreanalyses to get a better understanding of factors that influence retention at our engineeringschool.

These positions require substantial funds, so we can accommodate only one ortwo. In addition, we get an average of 1 student every 2 years paid by some other source, whoworks with us through the summer. Very positive examples: Physics student from SpartanburgCollege, Summers ’92 and 93. Student from French university system, on practical trainingassignment. Typically, these arrangements work best when the student has family or othersupport for staying in the area during the summer.

It was tangible and not theoretical. • Appreciated that learning felt realistic, as though it would be very applicable in the field. I have learned a fundamental basis for topics which directly pertain to my career.Most of the students feel that they are active learners and that they learn best by hands onactivities. Most students thought the real-world application allowed them to learn effectively andmotivated them.

For example, digital logic, electric-circuit behavior, and heat transfer all play a role in de-signing computer chips. Does our engineering curriculum prepare our graduates to deal withsuch complexity?The authors suggest that the current approach to the engineering curriculum is out of step withthe current practice of engineering. A modification to the early engineering science courses, andpossibly the first-year science and mathematics courses, would serve to change the students’ ap-proach toward problem solving and better prepare them to apply what they learn to
