year (153 of the total61,800 women graduating in the class of 2011 nationwide) [25], it’s no surprise that there arecurrently very few jobs available for women engineers in Saudi Arabia. Nevertheless, literaturenot only shows that Saudi women are interested in engineering, but the fact that segregation isenforced in schools can be a reason why women may succeed more in engineering than in theUS or the UK [4], [36]. Some women who have recently earned engineering degrees fromoutside the country via the “Program of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques” for foreignscholarships represent the first generation of women engineers to get hired in different privatesector engineering jobs and projects.

Most of the research experiences were with RWU faculty, supported by avariety of grants. Several students have presented their work at academic conferences.Program assessment is conducted by the PIs and focuses on: academic performance (GPA),retention in a STEM major, progress through the major (credits accumulated), graduation, post-graduate outcomes (STEM careers or graduate study), and impact on underrepresented studentenrollments in STEM majors at RWU.

Assistant Dean of Academic Initiatives at The Grove School of Engineering at The City College of New York (CCNY). One of her major projects was the development and roll out of City College’s master’s program in trans- lational medicine. In addition to her leadership role at CCNY, Dr. Brown has found time to reach out to the non-technical communities and share her passion for science and engineering education. She had an academic enrichment business for middle and high school students specializing in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and was a teacher at the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, Geor- gia. She has provided research mentorship and training to scores of undergraduate and graduate students

In 2008, Cañada was awarded a Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program (MSEIP) grant by the U.S. Department of Education. The project, entitled Student On-ramp Leading to Engineering and Sciences (SOLES), aimed to increase the participation, retention, and success of underrepresented and educationally disadvantaged students interested in pursuing careers in STEM fields. Among the strategies developed for this project is the Summer Math Jam – a one-week intensive mathematics program designed to improve students’ preparation for college-level math courses.

The facultymembers also discussed the challenges of writing research statements and proposals. A seminar on grant proposals provided basic information on how to develop a grantproposal.
