She was a pioneer in the development of brain-machine interfaces early in her career and uses these technologies to understand how the brain encodes cognitive information and how that encode goes awry under different neurological disorders. She has championed education in neuroengineering, creating one of the first graduate programs focused on re-engineering the brain and is now director of the NSF Research Traning grant ’NeuralStorm, taking engineering by storm’.

They typically express that theengineering curriculum is not offering them enough opportunity for hands-on, creativeapplication of the information they are learning. Some of these students possess the visualand spatial ability, and sketching skills to succeed in industrial design. Those who gainadmission often become some of our most outstanding design students, able to creativelyapply a range of complex technologies.

To validate theaccuracy of research findings, the researcher employed two strategies recommended by Creswell[50]: peer debriefing (discussions with the evaluation and program team during data collectionand analysis) and consideration of discrepant information that ran counter to the themes.

. Four primary findings emerged from this study. First, women faculty members inEE experience a different structuring of activities (teaching, research and service) than men, witha higher percentage of time spent on service. The imbalance inhibits women from focusing onthe activities that are crucial for promotion and tenure. Second from this research, some womenfaculty members in EE experience a lack of networking and mentoring which contributes to alack of information [94]. In order to succeed, they have to be extroverted to force the interactionwith a colleague. Those who are introverted do not succeed and are more likely to leave thedepartment. A third finding is there is gender bias in the hiring process. Departments displayedcloser
