Wepresent conversation architectures as potential solutions that complement existing practices andapproaches in engineering education.

The work conducted together expanded the existing collaboration andallowed both parties to lay the foundation for a successful, annual STEM-focused study abroad program, as well as launch newcollaborative research projects into which future students can be integrated. The general concept so developed is portable andcan be executed in other locations where faculty already conduct existing study abroad programs. We successfully launched anew project-based study abroad program specifically designed to appeal to engineering students while alleviating some of theidentified impediments to participation in
assist ASD students, however somestudents will sign up for this assistance, while others do not. Beyond the college resources theinstructor must fill in the gaps to ensure student success. First, the instructor must recognize theASD student’s learning style. The needs of the student and the learning styles vary by individual.For freshman year instructors it may be difficult to determine these needs in a timely manner,since most students do not self-disclose their disability. Observation and communication with thestudent are key in this step. Many first year engineering courses utilize individual and groupwork with both written assignments and “hands-on” projects including writing, drawing,problem solving, scheduling, budgeting, and craftsmanship

NSF Advance-PLAN projectdesigned to address gender equity through policy change on a statewide level. The project isbased on the model of change that identifies effective change as a top-down policy drivenapproach through a central authority, in this case, a statewide board of regents that oversees allpublic universities. The model for top-down change is particularly suited to a small, rural statewhere a) n-values for gender related statistics at any institution may not be statisticallysignificant b) institutional relations allow for cross-state cooperation and c) size of theinstitutions allows for timely implementation and assessment of policies. In addition,intercollegiate cooperation allows for provosts of all six institutions to serve as

Leadership behaviors were reported by students usingthe Competing Values Framework which focuses on student behaviors in four orientations:Collaborate, Create, Control, and Compete. The results show that there were some significantdifferences among self-perceptions at the beginning, middle, and end of the class, especially inthe Create, Control, and Compete leadership orientations. Differences in self-perception amongmen and women were more prominent in the Create orientation at the beginning of the coursewith women starting lower but nearly matching men at the end of the course. Implications of thisstudy generate insights into a potential method of assessing leadership development through thelength of a

, such as involvement in makerspaces, can lead to increases inengineering self-efficacy and can provide opportunities for students’ to be recognized asengineers, potentially promoting the development of their engineering identity. However,participation in makerspaces is not necessarily equal across all student groups, with the potentialfor white, man-dominated cultures of engineering to be replicated in makerspaces, preventingstudents from marginalized groups from feeling welcome or participating. Earningmicrocredentials and digital badges in makerspaces has the potential to encourage participationand provide a means for recognition.
