Science Foundation (NSF) and industry.Dr. Jacqueline A. Isaacs, Northeastern University Dr. Jacqueline Isaacs joined Northeastern in 1995 and has focused her research pursuits on assessment of the regulatory, economic, environmental and ethical issues facing the development of nanomanufacturing and other emerging technologies. Her 1998 NSF Career Award is one of the first that focused on environ- mentally benign manufacturing. She also guides research on development and assessment of educational computer games where students explore environmentally benign processes and supply chains in manufac- turing. She has been recognized by Northeastern University, receiving a University-wide Excellence in Teaching Award in 2000

This time period has been shown to beespecially important to women and underrepresented minorities [3]. It is widely recognized thatProject-Based Learning (PBL) or “learning by doing” is one of the major instructional elementsto increase the retention rate for STEM students. PBL inspires STEM students not only withreal-world problems but also with the necessary foundational skills to pursue STEM careers [4].All student participants in the CSE program are encouraged to apply for internships and summerResearch Experience for Undergraduates programs, but due to the limited number of positionsavailable

While capstone design typically prepares students for professional careers, it can alsobe seen and structured as a holistic story-building experience. Students from variousbackgrounds build their own stories as they participate in a multidisciplinary project. A typicalstory is built with characters, setting, and plot—typically with an introduction, a challenge orcrisis to overcome, and a resolution—and the most interesting stories involve curiosity,adventure, challenge, risk-taking, suspense, and reward.

Among womenin STEM majors, experiences of STEM-related gender bias have been found to be relatednegatively to their career aspiration and motivation to pursue vocational opportunities in STEM[6]. In addition to messages of being unwelcome in the field, women in STEM fields have alsobeen shown to encounter benevolent sexism (e.g., protective paternalism or genderdifferentiation) from their male peers [7]. This form of sexism has been linked with lower gradepoint averages (GPAs) in STEM courses [7]. These findings highlight the impact the academicclimate can have on underrepresented students pursuing careers in STEM fields. Because GPArepresents
