Kansas State University BS Kansas State University Current position: Associate Professor, College of Education, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Understanding Female STEM Faculty Experiences of Subtle Gender Bias from Microaggressions PerspectiveABSTRACTResearch has repeatedly discussed the lack of women in many Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. It has been suggested that the “chilly climate” -feeling unwelcomed or discriminated- pushes women away from STEM fields. This leads tomany women leave STEM fields at multiple stages, thus creating the “leaking pipeline”phenomenon. The experiences of

Due to low representation at thesenior rungs of the academic hierarchy, women have limited access to senior-level administrativepositions (i.e. department chair, vice dean, and dean positions) and have fewer opportunities toguide policy and future planning activities (Brockopp, Isaacs, Bischoff, & Millerd, 2006).The Problem Statement and Research Questions Despite numerous barriers, some women have been successful in academic engineeringprograms, gaining tenure, and often progressing to leadership positions such as department chair,vice dean and dean positions.

The Ohio State University Abstract – This paper introduces the development process of a unique course, History of AncientEngineering, which blends numerous areas of science and technology. Development of such a course thatintegrates two different major subjects, i.e., history and engineering, and the inclusion of pertinent areas suchas agriculture, archeology, architecture, arts, chemistry, civil, geography, geology, hydrology, metallurgy, andphysics. While the historical aspects focus on the when, where, who, and what, the engineering aspects wouldendeavor to solve the why, how, made from-what, and occasionally, what-if questions associated with ancienttechnology. The goal of this course is to increase the student’s technical literacy by
