authors propose a similar analysis of engineering writing from outside of theacademic arena: government reports, patent filings, and internal corporate documents likely all have“dialects” distinct from those analyzed here. It will only be after an analysis of the variation in writingbetween the disciplines, and within the communities of each discipline (corporate, government, academic)that writing center personnel will be best equipped to assist engineering faculty members and theirstudents in their quest for better writing.References:[1] Clippinger, David C., Jernquist, Kathleen S., Nozaki, Stephen, “Improving Undergraduate STEMWriting through Common Language as Tool to Teach Engineering Dialects,” Paper & presentation,ASEE Annual Conference

early 2000s.At the University of Rochester, the number of women and students from historicallymarginalized populations has increased from 2010 through 2019 in the incoming first-yearundergraduate population. However, studies in higher education have shown that despiteequivalent preparation and test scores (GPA, AP, IB, SAT, and ACT) from pre-college studybetween first-year undergraduate men and women, twice as many men are likely to receive A’sin their STEM subjects as women [5-7]. Men are twice as likely as women to repeat classes theyhave failed [5], while women show a loss in the self-confidence possesed as they enter collegethat results in lower class participation, lower performance, and lower grades—as early as theirfirst year at college
students who were learning basic coding language and syntax for the first time, aswell as for students who were reviewing the basics of coding for the first time in several years.Other students who had strong programming backgrounds were able to immediately focus moreof their attention towards understanding the problem statement for each learning unit becausethey were familiar with how to program the solution once it was determined analytically. Toaddress this discrepancy, a short set of modules on “coding basics” are being developed for useat the beginning of the Fall 2019 semester with the goal of bringing all students’ programmingskills up to a level required to be successful in the course.

andmeasurable set of objectives could make the process of integrating entrepreneurship intoengineering courses more accessible and consistent for a broad audience of engineering students.BackgroundIntegrating entrepreneurship concepts into engineering courses has become more common inhigher education in recent years [7]. A 2015 survey of ASEE members representing 100institutions indicated that faculty and administrators strongly agree that engineering studentsshould have access to innovation and entrepreneurship education [8]. This increased focus onembedding [9] and examining entrepreneurship in engineering coursework may also stem fromengineers’ desire to design products and create customer-driven solutions [10].

Prior to that time, we had offered a few “distance-enabled”courses as part of special programs and continuing education, but only a few and no onlinecourses for resident students. In 2019, 28 course sections for students enrolled at Mines inundergraduate and graduate degree programs were offered online, and we are continuing toexpand our online offerings. One particular demand for online courses from our residentstudents is to offer them over the summer so that students can take classes from home, whileworking, while traveling abroad, etc. This
