[22]. During World War II (1939-45),women engaged in roles that were previously exclusive to males although women did not benefitequally [34]. The 1960’s and 1970’s led to the creation of law and programs to promote equityand challenge gender-related disparities including the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the Title IX of theEducation Amendments Act of 1972, and the Women’s Educational Equity Act of 1974 to namea few. Nonetheless, these women scientists continued to bring “modest but essential change tohigher education in the years 1972-1985” [35, p. 39].In the Nineteenth and Twentieth century, women studying or working in engineering wereperceived as outcasts. The first women pursuing engineering were labeled as “others”; a smallthreatening group of
marginalized populations. A potentiallimitation of this study involves the first author having relationships with most of theparticipants. It will be interesting to replicate the study with participants who are unknown to thefirst author. Those participants might be less willing to be interrogated and challenged.References[1] S.

that engineering students have to have an innate initial propensity inmathematics versus an ability that is learned. For these reasons, many students who did not fare well in the traditional high schoollevel math sequence, attempting to try a similar path in college may be settingthemselves up for a repeat conclusion. According to Snyder and Dillow (2011), morethan 1.7 million students enter the community college system. Based primarily uponperformance on a placement test, approximately 60% of these students are placed intoone, if not more, developmental mathematics course(s). Fully 80% of them do notcomplete any college-level mathematics courses within as many as three years (Bailey,Jeong, & Cho, 2010).At our North Dakota Tribally

The distinction between a motivator and an inspirer is that inspiration serves to create a positive feeling, but does not necessarily cause the person(s) to apply themselves to achieve the goal/improvement.• Serving Others: The person serves a community or the needs of society. They are not leading for personal gain, but to help those in need or improve societal conditions. They solve problems in society through their technological or scientific advancements. They use the

Hopefully these steps will provide lessons learned and productivefeedback that will lead to even better changes in the future.Bibliography1 Estes, A.C., Ressler, S.J., Saviz, C.M., Barry, B.E., Considine, C.
