Islanders.Our vision of a fully inclusive program includes students, faculty, and staff from all backgroundsfeeling comfortable and fully engaged in the educational process and having equal opportunitiesto be successful. We would like to see improvement in the recruitment and retention of the bestand brightest minds, regardless of sex, ethnic background, or sexual orientation, in our studentand faculty bodies. We envision a learning community that demonstrates its culture of inclusionthrough (i) providing training to the student body in cognitive empathy to foster a more inclusive learning environment (ii) encouraging more engaged participation from female and underrepresented students and faculty on extracurricular engineering
project as he was: “I was just consumed bythis passion to help these people, and I know they were, too, so it was just really confusing mewhy they weren’t going above and beyond.” The human-centered orientation was recognized by the students as a unique take ondesign across their engineering education experiences, and they acknowledged that it affectedtheir ultimate designs and products. Danielle (Class A) summed up the HCD orientation of theprogram that emerged throughout many of the students’ descriptions of their everyday work onthese teams: That’s the thing that I really enjoy about [this program], is the human-centered design aspect and always keeping the stakeholders in mind, kind of drilling that into our heads
EngineeringContrary to hypothesis 1e, there was no clear increase in the number of students who planned topursue MS or PhD programs in engineering. However, there were changes in students’ planswith some students initially planning to pursue an MS or PhD who changed their minds afterparticipating in the program, and others who initially did not plan to pursue an MS or PhDprogram changing their plans to pursue a higher degree in engineering. There also was variabilityin students’ plans to pursue education and training in engineering labs after the program (seeTable 4).Consistent with the quantitative findings, the interview data indicated students did not change,but rather solidified their engineering education plans after participating in the IRES program(70

civil/architectural engineeringcurriculums. As these topics are covered, it is helpful to keep in mind that questions wereframed in order to relate each topic to overall job satisfaction and inclination to remain part ofthe structural engineering work force.Pay and compensation The survey did not raise a concern for unequal pay for equal work for a majority ofsurvey respondents. Reference chart below. As can be seen, both men and women show equalpay upon entering the profession. As years of experience grow, the pay gap tends to widen, withmen earning more than women. However, survey evaluators found that at all levels except forPrincipal, the gap is not statistically significant and can be explained by secondary factors. Thereport gives
where, when etc. That is why; when I was a student, I hated history. I always thought why I would learn about what war was fought in what age and who did what when it has nothing to do with my life.The professional engineer went on to suggest, “You can make a difference if you tell itlike its story so that it sticks in your mind, and makes it interesting.” For many yearswhile serving as a history instructor at a community college I frequently heard similarstatements from the best students in STEM fields.STEMstoryEducation has undergone a revolution in a generation.
