academic population, underrepresented and misunderstood.Early discussion at the board level in the mid 2000’s indicated a willingness for a paradigm shift.However, the representation of academics on the board and other leadership roles has beenlacking. This can be attributed to the lower numbers of this group relative to the whole, as wellas the requirements of tenure that do not support the time and dedication to such an endeavor. Asmall but influential group of members, including a former board member, and a few involved atvarious levels of the society have been working toward increasing opportunities for women inacademia (WIA). Some of the initiatives have been the societal support of the WIA committee,the addition of professional development

Many of the requirements involvelicensing and certifications, whereas many of the higher-up administrative positions requirebachelor and master degrees. The incentive behind this research project was to investigate whyso many construction degree programs at the college and university levels are either closing, orat a minimum not meeting the demand of industry by providing sufficient graduates for thepositions available, and why most high schools in the United States are no longer offeringconstruction type courses.

quality of partnerships weenter into. Our goal is to develop more sustained encounters. We also plan to focus on measuringthe effectiveness of the partnerships we enter into by collecting feedback from the educators andstudents who we work with and by assessing how eductors’ attitudes, beliefs, and knowledgechange in response to partnership. Our goal is to improve our methods for supporting educatorsand to share our results with a wider audience. Finally, we plan to create opportunities forundergraduate engineering students to join the project. Our goal is to form a dedicated group ofstudent workers and volunteers to design maker activities and operate the MakerTruck.References1. K. Peppler, and S.
