increased numbers of historically underrepresented students.The Femineer® Program was created to increase the number of women in Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields, especially engineering. Since 1980, femalestudents have continued to distance themselves from STEM courses [1]. According to theNational Center for Education Statistics, 35% of STEM bachelor degrees were conferred towomen in 2014. Of this 35%, 19.8% were engineering bachelor degrees [2]. In 2004, 20.5% ofengineering bachelor degrees were awarded to women [3]. This data shows that women areearning less engineering bachelor degrees and there has not been much progress since 2004.The issue of few women in STEM derives from STEM stereotypes and the gender gap

At the end of the semester, students reflect on the project, contemplating perspectivesfrom diverse engineering fields and roles. Feedback from student evaluations indicates that theyenjoyed developing their teamwork skills while working in

Another exampleis the use of the Flipped classroom model [6]. The current paper addresses the application of theFlipped classroom model in a Structural Engineering laboratory course at the junior undergraduatelevel.The CourseThe course selected to introduce the Flipped classroom model concepts was a junior level civilengineering laboratory course, CE382 “Computer Aided Structural Analysis, Design andExperimentation Laboratory.” The prerequisites for the course are i) Strength of MaterialsLaboratory and ii) Introduction to Structural Design.

analytical and communication skills, as well asleadership, ingenuity, lifelong learning and the ability to be responsive to input from a broadrange of disciplines [4]. Furthermore, considering recent industry feedback and the rise of globalization within theworkplace, it is growing more apparent that employers also value creative solutions, criticalthinking, and problem solving skills in their new hires [2]. According to the United State’sAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), design is recognized as central toall types of engineering and aids in developing a student’s ability to evaluate and design a need-fulfilling system, process or component [7].

More specifically, the purpose ofthis paper is to 1) catalogue data sources that collect STEM-related (science, technology,engineering, and mathematics) data at a national level and 2) critique the usefulness of the dataas it relates to informing efforts aimed at broadening participation of underrepresentedracial/ethnic groups in engineering. To address this purpose, we explored the following question: Based on the landscape of publicly-available data that is currently collected at a national level, how can the participation of underrepresented racial/ethnic groups in engineering be empirically monitored?To this end, we identified and reviewed multiple STEM-related data sources to highlight theways the

engineering is practiced [1]. This realization has led toa growing body of work documenting efforts towards the contextualization of engineeringeducation [3], [4]. Much of the literature tying engineering education to human or societal context stemsfrom the field of Science, Technology, and Society (STS) and Engineering Studies. Fundamentalto STS is the tenant that science and technology are not objective and isolated; rather the creationof new knowledge and technology are influenced by society, politics, and culture, and thesetechnologies in turn will have impacts on society [5]. Over time, this area of work has led toresearch that examines how integrating socio-technical thinking in the engineering classroom candevelop more holistic
