Second, we conducted seven focusgroups to dig deeper qualitatively into the issues brought up in the survey administrations.Third, we focused on the population with the highest attrition rate, first-year women, bycomparing their responses to upper-class students on the gender survey and by comparinggender differences on a second survey of first-year students in the college.Literature reviewVolumes of research have been produced in the field of retention for both women in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) courses and first-year students in general.

Using the storytelling approach, the teaching assistant, Tom, acted on the emotional contagion “gasps” he heard in response to the statement about the Asian male driving a muscle car. He calmly questioned the class, “What is the difference between a stereotype and a persona? Can a stereotype inform a persona?” Showing how a stereotype might inform a persona, he told his personal story, “Reborn in Detroit.” In reverse chronological order, he spoke in the first person about an internship for an automotive company, his love for the muscle car, and when he was a

Understanding the actual career paths of theECPs, rather than their intended career paths, provides information to support research onpersistence in both engineering education and engineering careers. The purpose of this analysis isto use qualitative data to characterize ECPs’ initial career path choices. The primary researchquestions addressed in this study are: What are the initial pathway choices upon completion of ECPs’ undergraduate degrees? To what extent do ECPs believe they remained on their initial pathway choice?We adopted Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) 6 as our framework. SCCT asserts thatcareer choice is a

The aim of the current study is to examine the experience of the fellows in the secondyear of the program, when they are assigned to teach in their degree-granting departments. Toconduct this assessment we addressed the following research questions: 1. Are Graduate Teaching Fellows receiving appropriate training and mentoring for their teaching activities in their respective departments to assist them in balancing the demands of a junior faculty member? 2. How is the teaching community of practice (CoP) developed, extended

As such, they often encountersubtle (sometimes overt) biases which can impact their ability to achieve their full potential, tohave access to information and build social capital, and to be viewed as leaders. Indeed, similarto Valian’s5 discussion of gender schemas and the ‘accumulation of disadvantage’, Sonnert’sstudy Project Access6 and Mary Frank Fox’s7 research on productivity have confirmed subtlebarriers that, compounded over time, result in major disparities in the career advancement ofwomen and men in academia nationally.

highereducation settings, particularly for disabled students, who are often forgotten or less emphasizedin DEI efforts. In some disciplinary areas, such as in science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM) fields, disabled students are more likely to experience discrimination due to a reportedlymore competitive and less flexible and supportive environment. Academic librarians and othereducators can make a difference for these students by contributing to a more inclusive campusenvironment for disabled people in STEM by implementing universally accessible and inclusivepedagogy, resources, services, and spaces. Such efforts are more effective when they incorporatea disability justice perspective, which provides an intersectional framework to understand

Whilethis work is emergent, our current approach adapts concepts from organizational justice research(Colquitt, 2001; Colquitt, Noe, & Jackson, 2002). In particular, the justice measure items(procedural justice; distributive justice, interpersonal justice and informational justice) outlinedin Colquitt (2001) are reflected in the mid-term and end-of-term team reflection exercises. Thisframework provides measures related to the way information is shared and accessed, how plansand decisions are made, and other issues concerning the equity within a team.

DiscussionThe use of PIV technology in fluid flow research is well established and widely accepted.Results from the measurements provide very valuable information about the flow fields to theresearchers and engineers of multiple disciplines. Consequently the aerodynamic design of anautomobile can be improved and the combustion process in the engine inside the sameautomobile could be optimized. Nowadays the technology has also been applied in the area ofMEMS, biomedical, and physiological research and in many other areas.Fluid mechanics is a highly visual subject. During the teaching process one must take fulladvantage of this fact. FLOWEXTM ePIV gives the opportunity to achieve this to its full extentmaking this technology

Rather than attempting to minimize this, researchers cancapitalize on it by consciously and actively seeking to incorporate culturally-derived theories ofthe research participants in all aspects of the study design. Accordingly, when conceptualizingthe study, scholars (including, but not limited to, scholars from a dominant culture) can partnerwith scholars and community members who are familiar with, or who stem from, similarcommunities as those of the research participants. This strategy can help to ensure that the finaltheoretically-informed research report does not conflict with the theories held by the researchparticipants.For example, Geertz Gonzalez and

Bandura (1977) who notes that there are fourstages that can be attributed to the memory modeling process, which include (1) Attention; (2)Retention; (3) Reproduction; and (4) Motivation.Attention In the Marotta and Hargis, (2011) study, they discuss how the, “...flip camera engagestheir senses and holds their attention in a unique and enduring way.” Bandura (1977) furtherdiscusses the importance of attention for information processing. If the incoming sensoryinformation is multichromatic and marked, we pay more attention. Accordingly, they posed thequestion of how technology in an active classroom attends to information processing.

This publicly available technology iscapable of engaging in complex conversations, providing information on a wide range of topics, andgenerating accurate answers to challenging questions that require advanced analysis, synthesis, andapplication of information. It can even generate critical questions that educators in various disciplinesmight use to assess students' competencies. It is therefore necessary to examine the capabilities of this AIagent.

Meanwhile, much of the scheduling and logisticalworkload could be shared among the two leaders.During faculty-led trips, students often get to talk with the instructors for an extended period.The talks can happen during walking, hiking, train rides, meals, and interstitially through someactivities. This informal atmosphere cultivates authentic sharing. Both the topics of the chats andthe needed time for them would rarely happen in an on-campus course. When the two instructorsare from different disciplines, the extra benefit is that the students get to learn and understand theother discipline in

understanding of engineering, design, and engineering designAbstractFreshman engineering students often begin their studies with limited, imprecise, and minimallyinformed conceptions of “engineering design.” A deep understanding of this term, however, isvital to an informed awareness of what engineering practice might involve and what engineerssee themselves as doing. Textbooks can provide authoritative definition for the student, but theseformalisms are (1) challenging for freshman students with limited engineering experience toengage with and (2) fail to capture the complexity of engineering design practices, especially indifferent disciplines and cultures. In this paper, we examine the efficacy of an activity, developedfor a freshman

Background and MotivationIn recent years, interest in applications of robotics technology in medical interventionalprocedures has grown enormously. Although the number of existing robotic-based clinicalprocedures is still limited, there is ample evidence that market for such technologies is rapidlyexpanding [1]. Robotic devices are emerging as essential components of state-of-the-art ofcomputer-integrated surgical platforms. Whether in orthopedic surgery, percutaneous therapy, orminimally-invasive surgery/telesurgery, robotics technology has enabled new and improvedmethods of healthcare delivery resulting in less patient trauma, improved operation outcome, andshorter hospital stays [2-4
