These projects are often sponsored by an industry partner, providingstudents an audience outside of a school setting and a chance to contribute to solving a real-world problem that can prepare them for the workplace [2, 3]. Ideally, team projects allowstudents to develop skills that will be transferable to a workplace setting, where individuals mustwork and write with others within an organization [1, 4].These projects, however, may present challenges for women and other underrepresentedstudents. For one, students are frequently asked to

Nanotechnology is the abilityto observe, manipulate, measure, and manufacture things at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to100 nanometers. While the word nanotechnology is new and was introduced in the late 1970s,the existence of functional devices and structures of nanometer dimensions is not new, andactually such structures have existed on earth as long as life itself [1].The idea behind nanoscience and

Scientific literacy may play a critical role in determining publicopinion as well as public support to continuing funding space exploration activities. Increasingthe scientific literacy of the current generation of millennial students is of paramount importancefor many reasons. One very basic, yet critically important reason is that today’s millennialgeneration of students will soon become tomorrow’s generation of decision-makers. Motivatedby a 2009 study conducted by Cook, et al. with 155 undergraduate students at SyracuseUniversity [1], through a pilot study this paper will focus on the survey instrument andmethodologies used to

This allows studentsto develop deeper understanding in specific fields, a skill that is necessary to develop expertise inengineering [2]. Students work together in teams, preparing them for the collaboration necessaryin future employment. This also promotes cooperative learning, which has been shown toproduce better learning outcomes [3].Within fluids education, hands-on learning experiences are typically reserved for laboratorydemonstrations using large, expensive, or inaccessible equipment.

The change was enabled by a program auto-grader that allowedeasy creation of each new assignment in only about 30 minutes, and that gave studentsimmediate score feedback. Students could earn up to 10 points per assignment, and we defined50 out of 70 possible points as full program credit for the week (no extra credit). With that setup,we allowed collaboration.

In order to be contributing members of a field, graduate students need to learn and developin areas beyond just the core technical competencies of their field. Opportunities for achievingthis development exist throughout their graduate studies, but students do not always recognize orunderstand how to use these opportunities. To productively steer student development, someresponsibility falls on the student’s academic advisor to guide and support the student growthprocesses. Traditionally, when considering the relationship between student and advisor,researchers have almost exclusively focused on examining the development of the student[1][2][3][4] or assessing the student’s satisfaction with

However, most engineering faculty continue to believe thatgrammar skills are the responsibility of English departments or writing centers. As a previousASEE paper put it, issues related to sentence structure, grammar, and syntax are part of the "rule-based" component of writing that others can address: "Students usually have access to goodtutoring services and they should be encouraged to use them" [5].In this paper, we argue that civil engineering programs do a disservice to students if they viewgrammar only as rules that others should teach.

While these guidelines—Professional Codes of Ethics—may help engineers appreciate what not to do [4, 5], they areinsufficiently specific to guide novice engineers through ethically ambiguous situations. As early20th century artefacts, they also tend to reproduce structural inequities embedded in the history ofthe profession, and thus fail to reflect the experiences of historically underrepresented groups ofengineers [6-14].

In thisway, disaggregation is a useful tool to look at the intersections of identities or demographicgroups. Intersectionality is the concept that multiple minority identities intersect with each otherto multiply identity-focused experiences, which may be a direct result of structural or culturalinequalities​ ​[1]. For example, differences in race/ethnicity, gender and sexual identity -- orcombinations of the three -- change the experiences and perceptions of students (see Figure 1).For example, a Latina lesbian has meaningfully different experiences
