For example, the Project Learning Library mission is to provide buildingblock technology skills to female (and male) students who may come with less experience thantheir classmates. One example of a library holding is a CD and workbook on spatial reasoningthat NSF research has shown improves retention of women in engineering by teaching them thisskill.3The second core belief is that change will happen faster and be institutionalized if it is supportedfrom the top down. To this end, IWITTS’s focus is not just on STEM instructors, but alsoincludes the key leaders, staff and administrators of the colleges in a variety of functions.

Tenure, publication, and status all depend on leading-edge research,which is most readily accomplished by focusing all of one’s efforts on one specific aspectof a narrowly-defined problem or process. The goal of the engineering academician is tobecome the leading expert on a specific topic. Graduate level engineering education,viewed primarily as training to do research, is closely aligned with the advising professor’sown research and will therefore remain similarly focused. Unfortunately, this focusextends to the undergraduate level, as each engineering subject is presented by a specialist.Engineering design courses can be viewed by faculty as cumbersome distractions, as theyrequire preparation that is
