Session 3192 Developing an Integrated Freshman Seminar for Women in Technology: An Innovative University-Corporate Partnership Model Mara H. Wasburn, Susan G. Miller Purdue UniversityAbstractAccording to a recent report by the National Council for Research on Women, at least half of theavailable science, engineering and technology talent pool will be women. Therefore, it becomesimperative to retain more women in these disciplines. Increasingly, companies and corporationsare seeking to diversify those areas of their workforce that are predominantly male.

Session 1125 Development of a Spacecraft Detail Design Course – Incorporating Design, Build, Integration and Test Dr. Rachel Shinn, Dr. James Lyall Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott, AZAbstractWith a few notable exceptions, spacecraft are never composed of a single subsystem. Typically,they comprise multiple subsystems that interact with each other. For example, it is very commonfor even small satellites to include power, communications, attitude, structure and payloadsubsystems, interacting to make up the entire system. The one-semester detail design

where knowledge might be transferred between participants. Next, we ask RQ3 ,which aims to classify the types of knowledge being transferred and if the knowledge is relevantto what happens during the stream, unrelated off-topic knowledge, or general programmingknowledge. Finally, using previous data, we ask RQ4 to understand if knowledge transfer helps orharms development activities during a live stream.Background and Related WorkInformal Learning OpportunitiesInformal learning opportunities play a crucial part in knowledge sharing and acquisition inundefined and opportunistic ways and are not motivated or bound by specific curriculum [1, 2].Research suggests that informal learning can be effective when individuals can contextualize andsituate
curricula (classes, curriculum content, etc.) as well as theirexperience in engineering as a whole (stress, wellbeing, workload, etc.). The survey wasadministered to all 2nd year and above software engineering students at the University ofCalgary’s Schulich School of Engineering. The software engineering cohorts were chosen as atarget population due to the regular use of technology within their discipline. Secondly, aninterview protocol was developed to assess faculty and staff perceptions of student wellbeing andthe engineering experience. The interview protocol was administered to three faculty/staffmembers with detailed knowledge and experience working with first year and softwareengineering students.The results of the survey indicated that 53

.6Improvements in retention resulting from increases in CTC are fundamentally supported by thehigher education model of social integration developed by Tinto,7-9 where student goals andcommitments formed by pre-college attributes interact with their college experiences to indicatewhether students are likely to complete an academic program. Community also begetscommunity; students who have not experienced a strong sense of community (and belonging) intheir undergraduate experience are far less likely, in the long term, to take a critical communityleadership role industry. Moving from academia to the workplace, a sense of belonging canresult in increased feelings of security, stronger self concept, self respect and coping abilities10and is cited in
