It was soon evident that any efforts to attract women toengineering would also be beneficial for underrepresented populations and all students. Workingin the preK-12 space also highlighted the need to inform the public about the true nature

Several factors influenced this decision: most people enjoy music. Thecomponents to build the piano were easily accessible and readily available and inexpensive. Thepiano was simple to build.The Extraordinary Women Engineers 2005 report states that girls believe engineering is forpeople who enjoy both math and science and that engineering is difficult and challenging [5].The report also shows that the first words that come to girl’s minds when thinking of engineeringincluded men, boys, cars, engines, which are too difficult and boring.

In fact, this fundamental concept is introduced in most freshman chemistry experiencesand, therefore, is available as a topic for discussion and development in any civil engineeringcourse. Topic areas where diffusion’s role can be expanded or further explored includeconstruction materials, corrosion phenomena, and the fate of chemicals in the environment. Thegoal, however, is not just to extend the role that such phenomena plays in a given course or evena curriculum, but to use it as a topical tool to broaden engineering student’s minds to encompassthe role global phenomena like diffusion play

These students needed a coursethat reminded them of what is important to engineers, how to rely on specific solutiontechniques, appreciate the math course sequence required from them, and identify therelationships between these mathematical techniques and engineering. In short, theylacked concept drilling, and were unable to build (in their mind) a bridge between whatthey were learning in a required math sequence and their future engineering discipline.So, the attention of the engineering division at Lafayette turned to this introductorycourse to

Therefore, we decided to develop our own. Thisprocess began by reviewing the course outcomes (listed above) and identifying activities whichcould support students’ achievement of them. We sought to be particularly mindful of theworkload, as our orientation class has zero credit hours. Some, such as outcomes 2 and 4, werecovered in other assignments. However, outcomes 1 and 3 were sparsely addressed and assessedin the orientation curriculum, and thus became the primary goal of the passport.

Furthermore, when responding toquestions specifically about STEM abilities (content knowledge, skills, and habits of mind),students acknowledged an increase in content knowledge. For example, a student stated: Myunderstanding of the subject has increased especially in terms of evaluated civil engineeringstructures and understanding the basic science behind how they work [survey; 4/29/2015].Another student noted: I definitely now understand how engineering is really a way of problem-solving in interesting, creative ways [survey

origin of word ‘engineer’ has nothing to do with locomotives, engines or motors ascommonly perceived in English speaking world. It traces its roots to French ‘ingénieur’ whichwas derived from ‘ingénier’ (to exert somebody’s mind), ‘ingéniosité’ (ingeniousness) and‘ingénieux’ (ingenious). The origins of ‘ingénieux’ point mainly at ‘ingenious’ rather than just‘thought over’ but do not point at ‘inventive’ (inventif). So, is engineering about inventing?Ideally yes. Famous phrase by Theodore von Karman “Scientists describe world that is, engineerscreate world that never was”.

you mind if we ask your mother’s mother about this recipe?” “Of course not” was the reply of the first chef, however he probably wasn’t ready for the answer that his grandmother gave. Her reply was “Goodness no, that’s not how one cooks roast beef, how wasteful! You see, when your mother was growing up the only cooking pot that I owned was somewhat small, so whenever I had a large cut of meat like a roast beef I would cut off the ends so that it could fit in the pan.”  As engineers we know that after a process is designed and implemented the initial internal and external design assumptions, constraints and opportunities change over time. What fit and worked well in one timeframe may not hold over time. With this
