Networking can counteract the isolation that women experience — providing them withinformation, support, and the knowledge that they’re not alone in the challenges they face.”5The WECE study served as a critical underpinning for the current study. Like the WECE study,the current study used a web-based survey with similar research questions that focused onparticipation in activities and persistence in engineering. But, drawing on the conclusionspresented by Ohland et al.1 of comparable male and female persistence at an individualinstitution, our study considers all engineering students during their sophomore, junior, andsenior years (when they are institutionally recognized
academic background, lack of mathematical skills needed for physicsproblem solving leads to unsuccessful performance in physics.7 Therefore, many physics courseshave mathematical prerequisites. Algebra-based physics classes require familiarity with algebraand trigonometry while calculus-based classes usually require a semester of calculus as aprerequisite. However, passing the mathematical prerequisite courses does not guarantee thestudents’ success in physics classes.Another factor that affects students’ success in physics is their inability of applying mathematicalskills for solving physics problems, and it leads to their poor performance.7 Angell et al. (2004)found that students find physics difficult because they have to contend with

coverage of these important broader considerations, andthus to provide opportunities for broader ways of thinking in engineering education. Commonapproaches to teaching engineering design incorporate some of these ways through project-basedlearning, which finds instantiation in senior capstone design projects [6, 7], first-year cornerstonedesign projects [7], and service learning [7, 8]. Closely related, the Aalborg problem-based learning(PBL) model also focuses on contextualizing learning and problem-solving [9]. Litzinger et al.’s[10] discussion of expertise and engineering education emphasizes the importance of the “context-rich, multifaceted problems” commonly embedded in all of these approaches.Empirical research on engineering design

VR offers an opportunity for students toemotionally connect with how their waste affects the environment [46]. In VR, students caninteract with environments allowing them to make an emotional connection to the environmentalconsequences of their choices. According to Riva et al.

Because the Ambassadors present in pairs, they present in up to three parallel classrooms at a time during the school day. The Ambassadors show how engineering is relevant to these subjects such as highlighting an engineering project such as developing a spinal implant. In addition, the Ambassadors start or conclude the day with a presentation about Engineering Careers in the school auditorium. The audience for this presentation usually ranges from 100 to 300 students. On campus recruiting of prospective students and community STEM events. The Engineering Ambassadors are active

Almost 75% of students desired “not” to see the format used in othercourses in the curriculum, and that they “did not like” the structure of the course.Analysis: Collectively, this information indicated mixed success from the first iteration of thecourse. Student grades and course evaluation data were similar to previous offerings—with theexception of the increase in D/F grades. The survey probed important elements that thestandard university course evaluation did not (see Lavelle et al.12), and indicated studentsatisfaction with

calls attention to the negative impacts of left-of-center grading on femaleengineering students. We define left-of-center grading as a specific norm-referenced (i.e.,curved) grading practice where the exam median grade is below 50%. We interviewed 83engineering students, faculty, and professionals about their perceptions of left-of-center grading.Our results indicate that left-of-center grading is common in the engineering curriculum, with allbut three participants reporting direct experience with the practice, and that female students aresignificantly more likely than their male peers to find the practice discouraging. While manyparticipants stated that left-of-center grading motivates and challenges students, they overallcited more cons than

form of observing other students in class, working with students ongroup projects, and being able to see their grades along with the grades of their classmates. I feel like this is something that a lot of classes or professors or the curriculum science and engineering do: they are trying to weed out people because they have this idea of a model student who was born with the ability to understand math and science but it's difficult to fight against that current. I got really lucky when I was in community college that I found professors that pushed me and that actually guided me. I was struggling but they were supporting me to have a better understanding.
