regional campuses, however, there are constraintson how those funds get distributed among all campuses. With the benefits come the challengesassociated with regional campus teaching and learning. These challenges are discussed below: 1. Limited Resources: The regional campuses have limited resources when it comes to offering engineering or engineering technology courses. These courses are lab-based courses and must have all the resources to ensure consistency in the type of project being offered. Course coordinators from the central campus are assigned the task to form regional campus teams and discuss the availability of resources to offer the first-year engineering courses. The first-year courses are revised often

leave students who transfer infrom a community college or another institution at considerable disadvantages.Furthermore, transfer students intending to pursue Science, Technology,Engineering, & Math (STEM) degrees may lack important introductory courses(prerequisites such as calculus and general chemistry) and can struggle to getcourses transferred appropriately, slowing down degree progression. We are nowin the second year of implementing a program that includes a peer-mentoredsemi-residential learning community, a co-convened seminar course, and NSF-funded scholarships (Transfers to Graduates in Engineering, Math and Sciences)to support transfer students in the College of Engineering, Forestry, and NaturalSciences at Northern Arizona
Engineering, Chemical and Biological Engineering, Civil Engineering, andScience and Technology Studies.Thirty of the 39 total graduate student project participants responded to the professionaldevelopment survey, which was administered after the ASEE analysis workshop. The 28graduate students who responded to the open ended questions serve as the data for this analysis.About two-thirds of the participants were female, and a third identified as belonging to anunderrepresented racial or ethnic group. In the data, each participant was assigned a number, asthe data was collected anonymously.The prior experience with engineering education work of the participants spanned a number ofyears, as can be seen in Table 1. Although this diverse group of graduate
activities such as the mobile planetariumevent were a good use of their time, that they would like to have more such events in the future,and that the event increased their interest or knowledge in STEM. Based on the survey responsefrom the 2-day summer workshop, all responding teachers agreed that the workshop themes areuseful in increasing students’ STEM interest, skills, and knowledge.

conferred towomen in 2016 [5]. Within the STEM field, 19.8% of engineering bachelor degrees [6] and 18.1%of computer science bachelor degrees were conferred to women in 2014 [7]. This data shows thatwomen are earning less engineering and computer science bachelor degrees and there has not beenmuch progress since 2004. These percentages are very low, and need to be increased for femalesto compete in this global economy. Despite all the odds, women were at the forefront of technology in history.
