fellow, he is developing topics on broadening participation at the intersection between science and policy. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Career Arcs that Blend Industry, Government and Military Service with Faculty Experiences to Increase Diversity in the Engineering ProfessoriateAbstractThis paper presents a new model of academic careers that allows for more inclusive hiring,tenure and promotion practices across the long arc of individual careers. The traditional modelof a faculty career implies and requires a leaky pipeline, where participants who choose careersoutside of academia are left behind and are never allowed re-entry.

This may be due to the lack of role models and networking opportunities in STEMcareers and even belief from parents and teachers that students with disabilities cannot besuccessful in STEM (Hawley, Cardoso & McMahon, 2013; Martin, Stumbo, & Collins, 2011).As such, students with disabilities are less likely to enroll and be successful in STEM courses inhigh school (Hawley et al., 2013; Martin et al., 2011). Lack of exposure to STEM careers andcourses may ultimately lead to a lack of interest. Additionally, this may contribute to limitedskill development, not due to lack of aptitude, rather due to lack of exposure and opportunities.As previously

We also interviewed a number of senior female engineers whoshared their experiences with implicit bias during their career. We conducted statistical analysis(ANOVA, regression analysis) and text analysis of the quantitative and qualitative data. Findingsfrom both data sources showed that women and people of color experienced more implicit bias atwork than white men.Regression analyses showed that, after controlling for age, education, workplace seniority, andacademic status, women still reported more Prove-It-Again, Tightrope, and Maternal Wall bias,and Asian and African-American engineers reported more Prove-It-Again and Tightrope bias,than their
