Her research focuses on the role of racialized experiences and biases in STEM educational and career attainment, problematizing traditional notions of academic achievement and what is mean to be successful yet marginalized, and STEM identity and identity development in high-achieving students of color. She is currently the PI on two studies funded by NSF, the first of which investigates the causes behind why African Americans remain one of the most underrepresented racial groups in engineering faculty positions.

The TCCs continue to make great strides toward improving the livesof their members on the Reservation by creating culturally sensitive educational opportunities.However, there was concern with the low enrolment in STEM courses and programs. In order forthis situation to improve, programs had to be developed which not only motivate students topursue college education in STEM, but also help guide them through graduation.

In testimony before the congressional Commission on the Advancement ofWomen and Minorities in Science, Engineering and Technology, Kenneth Disken, a Vice-President of Lockheed Martin, predicted critical shortages of workers because by the end of the[21st] century, “white males will constitute only 10 percent of new entries into the workplace”7.Despite these changes, engineering graduate students and faculty still have few opportunities todeliberate on the topic of diversity prior to making decisions

engineering disciplines, in particular, may suffer from challenges associated with alack of faculty engagement. While faculty interactions have been found to be correlated with asense of belonging (Hoffman, Richmond, Morrow, & Salomone, 2002) and the intention topersist in engineering (Morrow & Ackermann, 2012), in reality these interactions can be at bestinsignificant, and at worst extremely damaging. Marra, Rodgers, Shen, and Bogue (2012)described challenging issues of uncomfortable “classroom climates,” which could adverselyimpact student retention rates in engineering.

The survey data discussed was collected from students, faculty, and administratorsfrom a single HBCU (Historically Black College and University) and focuses on the experiencesof students in STEM. The purpose of the survey was to identify critical areas of concern thatwarranted further investigation. Preliminary data suggest that future research studies shouldfocus on students’ confidence, study skills, and academic preparation as well as facultydevelopment. Also, future research studies will investigate data from additional HBCUs andidentify common areas of focus that

Herzog, Betchart, and Pittman [20]proposed theoretical reasons for gender differences that included: (i) the socioculturalperspective, that women are socialized to care and nurture, at the same time as boys areencouraged to be less emotional and more utilitarian; and (ii) that femininity leads to a morenurturance-expressive dimension of personality that is more highly related to concern for animalwelfare, even as masculinity relates to less sensitivity to the ethical treatment of other creatures.Gender is known to
