Even though the sixty percent of its students are female, the number of femalesenrolled in UIW’s Engineering Program is less than 5% and trending downwards. The sametrend follows in several other STEAM programs offered by the neighboring educationalinstitutions in Texas. There has been numerous studies in education that emphasize theimportance of teaching and learning science in middle school classes [1]. By having an earlyexposure to the fundamental aspects of science at the elementary or middle school

We will invite engineering student organizationto have a presence in the SI sessions, allowing students to learn of opportunities to becomeinvolved in extracurricular group and find support and belonging in the major. A relationshipwith student organizations would also allow us to better recruit SI leaders and create awarenessof the SI program.To improve attendance of

traditional lecture style that is used in most engineering courses has several difficulties thataffect the processes of teaching and learning. Although many students can be efficiently taught asignificant amount of knowledge using this method, its one-way nature encourages passive andsuperficial learning and does not stimulate students' motivation, confidence, or excitement. As aresult, graduates of traditional lecture models frequently lack the fundamental abilities neededfor success in the workplace [1], [2]. The goal of engineering education research is to pinpointthe information and abilities that aspiring engineers must gain both in the classroom and in theircareer.Students' learning and engagement in a classroom environment may be enhanced by

And the instructor could consider making the students discuss or collaborate solvingsome difficult questions together. For instance, the instructor can ask 2-3 students to group up,and to see which group is the fastest to come up with the correct answer. In addition, theinstructor could also invite some students to share their solution to the questions before givingthem the answer, which could be more beneficial to engage the students into the course

The perception is that the research completedduring the degree granting process and personal connections set each faculty member up forcontinued successful research, while observations and opportunities filling in for an advisorprepares each for the teaching role. However, there are numerous faculty who initially fail tomeet expectations without additional mentoring and/or training to actualize desired performancelevels.The number of grant writing and teaching workshops has

learning while still ensuring students are provided with the requiredtechnical material can be an issue due to time constraints. Most engineering courses need the fullin-class time throughout the semester to ensure students are taught the technical content that isrequired for future courses or a future career. To allow for both active learning and teaching therequired technical material, a fundamental change in how the course is taught is needed. Byhaving students learn the lecture material outside of class, the time spent in class can be used tobetter engage students in active learning. In this approach, often called a flipped classroom,students partake in assigned materials before class by either watching prerecorded lecture videos,reading

If everything regarding an ABET review were to go as hoped andexpected, this would both allow us to complete two full cycles between each ABET visit and alsoallow us to end a cycle over a year before an ABET site visit, thus giving us more than sufficienttime to write our SSRs and prepare for the site visit. This extra time is especially important for us,for WWU is on the quarter system, so our seniors complete their senior projects, the main sourceof our outcomes assessment data, roughly three weeks before the SSRs are due to ABET.Since 2015-16 was the first academic year we had engineering graduates, that
