Current engineering initiativeshave responded to this challenge with toilet fairs and competitions showcasing cutting-edgetechnologies in the sanitation sector. That is, engineers have often approached this sanitationcrisis as well as other world problems from a technocentric perspective―the philosophy thatconsiders technology as capable of solving human problems.2 Technocentrism speaks to thecurrent outlook of engineering education. We as engineering students are trained to design andbuild technical solutions for world problems. Furthermore, this focus within

Women earn 20.2% of physics degrees, 43.9% of mathematics degrees, 17.7% ofcomputer science degrees, and 17.5% of engineering degrees1. To encourage femaleundergraduate students to graduate with STEM degrees, and thereby increase femaleparticipation in STEM fields, this paper describes an Oral History project that provided femalestudents with unique mentorship with distinguished leaders whose careers align with thestudents’ intended careers.The project provided unique mentorship to the students so that the students are motivated

difficulties for a program offering distance learning revolve around one basic theme, getting students into the courses. 1) Conveying the program quality to the public: Distance learning has carried a stigma of poor educational value from the days of correspondence courses to today’s diploma mills. While the allure of a watered down program to get a quick buck is tempting for even traditionally strong academic institutions, especially in more trying economic times, it is becoming evident that a tradition of quality and value will stand the test of time. Students may complain about the amount, and rigor of work required to obtain a quality degree but they clearly value its significance. Programs these days need to beable to convey to the

The benefits of mentoring in the workplace havelong been documented in the literature, yet early and mid-career faculty at OU were generallyleft to fend for themselves unless they were fortunate enough to identify helpful faculty in theirdepartments on their own. So, it was thus not surprising that most faculty members indicated thatthey were not receiving assistance from their colleagues or department in the forms of careeradvice and development opportunities and that more mentoring, particularly as it pertains toresearch, was needed (Figure 1).
