introduced faculty to the framework of entrepreneurially minded learning (EML) centered on curiosity,connections, and creating value. The workshops promoted evidence-based pedagogical best practices andparticipants experienced different active learning techniques that can be applied to instill the entrepreneurialmindset in students at their home institution. Following the workshops, faculty were provided with ongoingcoaching and support comprised of two individual coaching sessions and two small-group Community of Practicecoaching sessions. Coaching sessions included in this study were led by a four-member, intercollegiate coachingteam comprised of experts in engineering education, EML classroom integration, and instructional effectiveness.This WIP

During the final collaborative session, anengineering student from each team provided guidance on the robot’s design. In particular, theengineering students’ assistance was sought when building and coding a mechanism to addmovement to the robot.This study, while intended to directly impact the coding knowledge and interprofessional skillsof education and engineering students, is also part of a larger movement to broaden participationin STEM fields, particularly engineering. The interventions were designed with this wider goalin mind. All of the preservice teachers were female, as were half of the

With the advent of personalizedmanufacturing and medicine, the technical limitations prohibiting this kind of work are startingto dissolve. Engineering habits of mind must shift to take this into account, and engineeringeducators have a role to play in making students aware of historical and existing biases in modelsand designs so that they do not perpetuate

issues females face is fear andlack of self-confidence in their skills to prepare teaching and research statements and negotiatesalaries and start-up packages [6].B. Females in EngineeringA question that may come to mind is: Why among all STEM fields highlight engineering? Theanswer is simple. ASEE’s report Engineering by the Numbers [24] depicts an alarming lowrepresentation of females across all levels−bachelor’s level all the way to tenure-track positionsin academia. Between 2008 and 2017, females earned 20.93%, on average, of all engineeringdegrees (BS, MS, and PhD) in the US (Puerto Rico included) [24]. In 2017 alone, femalesrepresented 26,514 out of the 124,477 (21.3%) undergraduate engineering degrees conferred.Environmental and

When asking engineering students to envision visual notetaking as a design process, it isimportant to keep in mind that not all students might know the language or framing of designthinking, convergent thinking, or divergent thinking. We posit this as an opportunity to introducethe culture and knowledge of design thinking mediated through visual notetaking.Visual notetaking supports cognitive processing in three parts.

Female faculty need to be encouraged to improve their leadership skills byattending training, workshops, conferences, etc.Conclusions and Future WorkAutoethnographic narratives of three female faculty in engineering who have experienced genderbias have enabled this topic to be explored. The findings from this research are consistent with thelarge body of literature on gender bias in academia. The recommendations indicate the need forfurther research, support, and awareness for female faculty who face these biases.The authors plan to continue their work on gender
