engineering classes.Thus, the goal of this project was to complete preliminary steps for creation of a civilengineering fluid mechanics concept inventory.Using an expert panel and student input, concept inventory items were systematically evaluatedfor applicability in civil engineering courses. The expert panel reviewed items using a modifiedDelphi-process, while student input and performance on the existing concept inventory wereused to validate outcomes from the expert panel. Results generally concurred that topics relatedto fluid statics, pressure measurement, conservation of mass, Bernoulli’s equation, andconservation of momentum were important for civil engineers. In contrast, compressible flowand boundary effects were generally classified as

Paper ID #11157WHY DO UNDERGRADUATE WOMEN PERSIST AS STEM MAJORS?A STUDY AT TWO TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITIESDr. Ronald Brandt, Seton Hall University Ronald Brandt teaches physical science at the high school level, emphasizing Project Based Learning and inquiry based lab activities. Brandt seeks to inspire his students, especially young women, to develop a passion for STEM studies and consider a career in science and technology. Prior to entering the education profession, Ronald Brandt was an executive in the chemical industry serving as senior vice president at two multinational firms as well as President & CEO of an
