toundergraduate and graduate students in engineering. Hence, similar to studies focused on femalestudent retention in engineering, which is being extensively studied, there is a need to explore therecruitment and retention of female faculty within this profession, as they too faced various kindsof challenges within and outside their department. Consequently, this adversely affects theretention of female students in engineering [2].

Kemelgor and Etzkowitz15, Lindholm16,Lindholm, Astin, Sax and Korn17, and Tindall18 suggest that quality of their experiences asgraduate students influences their decision to stay in the academy. In fact, based on a study ofscience faculty and doctoral students at Research I and II institutions, Kemelgor and Etzkowitz15note that that while “women who have reached the graduate level and beyond, have usually hadpositive, encouraging experiences with educators,” women faculty “unanimously cited at leastone mentor as essential in their provision of strategies, access to professional networks, and tosee themselves as bona fide scientists-to-be.”Role model theory presumes that increasing the numbers and visibility of women faculty inSTEM disciplines

community and the perceptions of its validity. Brewer et al. (2012)describe how the use of undergraduate research data is lacking validity as there is a commonfocus on the experience and contribution from graduate students, and that exploitation ofundergraduates as human subjects of research without proper data reporting does occur.Similarly, Antes et al. (2003) mention that lacking the reporting of undergraduate research data,due to the small size of testing populations, can be perceived as unethical and should beremedied. The perception of undergraduate research is important especially when it comes todefining what studies can be considered research. Much earlier, Edwards et al. (1997) made thenotable point that many “underpowered” studies

Blending these departments together into an effective interdisciplinaryteaching and research Center, recognized internally by the University Administration andexternally to industry, was a primary objective.Although still under development, the course sequence structure is shown in Figure 1. Mostcourses are interdisciplinary in some fashion although the degree of cross fertilization varies.

The largest single graduate research effort currentlyongoing in the author's graduate laboratories involves studies of electrochemically switched ionexchange processes as alternatives to traditional ion exchange.4 In traditional ion exchange,chemical potential is normally modulated (via changes in solution concentration) to cause ions toload and elute from the exchange matrix. In this laboratory, students deposit and characterizeelectrodes derivatized with a nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF) ion exchange material. Bychanging the potential on the electrode
