Health, Ms. Parry and colleagues from theCollege of Engineering and the College of Education have been conducting research on theefficacy of implementing engineering in elementary schools. Pre and post tests on teacher andstudent attitudes toward STEM and student competency and self-efficacy in engineering designand science were administered and an analysis of student STEM notebooks was done. Results ofthat work have been or are in process of being disseminated (Ernst, et al); pilot and field test dataindicate statistically significant gains in both science content knowledge (field test) andengineering design content knowledge (pilot test) as well as in student STEM self-efficacy.STEM notebooks are used by teachers for formative assessment.

Katherine Sanders, Chris Carlson-Dakes, John Mitchell, Pat Farrell University of Wisconsin – MadisonAbstractA common model for faculty development in higher education is what we refer to as the “visitingscholar” model. We have participated in this model for a number of years, and find it has someserious drawbacks, and is quite limited in its ability to help faculty reconsider and change whatthey do on a continuing basis. That is, unless a campus has an
multiple iterations – the development of thiscurriculum has been guided by the below underlying research questions: • What are students’ experiences of Design Week? • What factors contribute to students’ experiences and how do these inform decisions to make this a more educationally valuable experience?All other educational activities (lectures, tutorials and labs) are suspended for the week tofacilitate this exercise for second year Mechanical Engineering students. As noted above, thecurriculum allows for this as students enrol in a specific degree program which is heavilyprescribed and does not offer elective optional modules in the first two years (i.e. thetimetable for Mechanical Engineering students in the second year is the

Her current doctoral research at the Center for Engineering Education and Outreach focuses on decision-making strategies and the personal, interpersonal, and external influences on those strategies across engineering educational contexts. Outside of research, she is a teaching assistant at the university's machine shop, where she assists students with a wide range of digital fabrication tools and precision machinery. Outside of school, Nicole is interested in biking, yarn crafts, sci-fi and fantasy writing, sustainable living, social justice, and the intersections of all of these. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2022

Whether null hypotheses are rejected or not rejected,those results are reported and incorporated with the other results for a particular topic. Whenfactors are found to be significant, an attempt is made to quantify that factor in some way, eitherby the level of the difference or its correlation to another factor.This review focuses specifically on engineering where possible, though it draws upon the largerand more thorough SME literature as it is relevant in most respects. The literature on women inengineering originates from many disciplines: sociology, education

engineeringcurricula.1 This is partially due to the duality of the engineering education system. Many of ourlargest, most prestigious engineering programs have used artificial measures to keep down theenrollment in their engineering programs, while many smaller schools (for a variety of reasons)have the opposite problem. The result of this has been a considerable amount of research analyzingthe performance of students in engineering programs. The principle objective of much of thisresearch has been to determine the factors that may influence a student’s decision to pursue furthereducation in engineering or work in a different field. By discovering these contributing factors,researchers hope to make the student’s experience of engineering more enjoyable and
