Program Elisha Clark Halpin is an Associate Professor and Head of Dance at Penn State. She is the artistic director of ETCH Dance Co. Her choreographic investigations concentrate on the body as text: using autobiog- raphy, ethnicity, and identity as ways to generate movement, develop context, and construct metaphors in contemporary dance. Elisha was an Emerging Choreographer at the Bates Dance Festival. Her work, How Frail the Human Heart, was awarded ”Best Dance” at the 2010 Capital Fringe Festival. Her latest work, the sky is empty, was commissioned by Dance New Amsterdam. Elisha graduated with an M.F.A in performance and choreography from The Ohio State University and a B.F.A in dance and theatre from the
freshman year of their engineering curriculum. At the end of the freshman yearthe reported values of self-efficacy, the intrinsic value of learning engineering, and the utility valueof engineering all decreased from the initial values reported when students entered their freshmanyear. This research also showed that intrinsic interest in engineering and the utility value ofengineering were better predictors of career path than self-efficacy.1.2 Brief Description of AcES ProgramThe Academy of Engineering Success (AcES) program was established in 2012 to increaseretention of students who are traditionally underrepresented in engineering with the goal ofultimately diversifying the engineering workforce.

CaliforniaDepartment of Transportation (Caltrans), with the curriculum adopted from previous years ofimplementation of Caltrans' engineering institute. This curriculum focused mostly onengineering fields that are relevant to Caltrans missions, and does not provide students theopportunity to explore the many different pathways to the various engineering career options.In 2010, the SEI curriculum was drastically revised in order to present a more balancedcurriculum that introduces participants to the major areas of engineering. This revised SEIcurriculum—jointly developed and taught by community college and university engineeringfaculty—features lectures, hands-on workshops, demonstrations, panels, field trips, team-building activities, social events, and group
students toengineering topics. Additional work could also explore the engineering enrollment gender diversityeffects of recruitment efforts targeted to the daughters of engineers.References [1] B.
