By contrast,women’s representation in the engineering workforce has been steadily increasing since the1990’s, from 8.6% in 1993 to 14.5% in 2015 [1]. However, according to statistics from 2010,within five years of graduation, 36 percent of women who obtained engineering bachelor’sdegrees either left or never entered the field and within fifteen years after graduation, 60 percentof women who earned engineering bachelor’s degrees had left the field [2].

We will modify the project protocol as needed when reviewing the Q3 framework forquality.ConclusionThe literature review illustrates that ambiguity has not been adequately operationalized. Ourproject has just begun, so at this time we are collecting data, but the goal of this project is tounderstand the different ways that students and practicing engineers experience ambiguity duringproblem solving. The result of our project will be a taxonomy of ambiguity developed from theoutcome space(s). This taxonomy will deepen our understanding of problem solving, allowing usand other researchers to

curriculum was designed through several iterative meetings with industry.The industry advisors identified the Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSAs) that would help themost with the transition from student to professional. These KSAs led directly to the design ofthe Hatchery Unit (HU) courses. Forty professionals from twelve companies have participated inthe design and delivery of HU courses. The academic-industry collaboration has been critical ingetting acceptance from faculty and students.To date, we have offered 57 CS-HU sections with 1591 students (non-unique) enrolled in thesecourses.

Furthermore, this project will help underserved populations at UC Merced succeedprofessionally through the incorporation of collaborative and experiential learning, therebymaking engineering education more inclusive. Finally, the proposed PDT will help make theengineering profession equally attractive and accessible to all students which, in turn, will lead toa more diverse STEM workforce.References[1] S.

In practice the curriculum lasted 14 days, as teachers provided extratime for learners who needed remediation or extra challenge.We generated data from pre- and post-surveys (N = 120 paired); pre-, post- and follow-upinterviews (14, 17, and two, respectively); students’ design artifacts; and classroom observationsof eight student pairs (including 20 hours of video and 10 hours of screen-capture), all in order toexplore student engagement in practices of computation, engineering, and science.
