More workneeds to be done to develop these for a variety of potential audiences.ConclusionThe presented case studies explore the critical role of creative data visualization in enhancing theunderstanding and impact of various aspects of engineering education. It is important andbeneficial to look beyond traditional data representation methods and towards more innovative,visually appealing, and creative approaches. The first case study addressed the issue of genderdisparity in engineering. Use

With the many factors in mind, it is important toidentify the problem under investigations.Problem Statement Page 12.1614.3Stated simply, the problem is a lack of engineers to fill an increasing number of positions. Morespecifically, the problem is that the number of women engineers continues to fall short incomparison to the gender ratio of women to men in the population in the U.S.1 and worldwide 2.More women engineers are needed in general and in proportion to male engineers. The obvioussolution is to attract more women into engineering programs, and this task has been undertakenadmirably by

WhileBlack students navigate their way to success in engineering programs not created with them in mind,they often survive rather than thrive [5-6].

. Because best practices suggestlimiting course outcomes to six or under [7], [8] it is unrealistic to think that faculty canadequately assess all thirteen learning outcomes for engineering laboratories described in Table3. This report based on responses from faculty supports the notion that not all lab learningoutcomes are equally important and points towards candidates for a focused set of outcomes thatshould be more thoroughly assessed. Departments should be mindful when determining whichlearning outcomes are best-suited for the ChE laboratory courses, with consideration of whichoutcomes translate to ABET criteria as well as which outcomes can be taught and assessed inother courses.

As stated by another caregiver, “I guess the mostthing that I got out of the program is that it gave me a chance to do something with my kidsbecause there wasn't a lot of time that was put in to doing things with them.
