suggestions: “Evidence based decision making. The grant activities call for a significant amount of data collection and self-study. It would be helpful to use this data as a means to present evidence for different campus constituents to consider helping them make their own conclusions and shape future decision making. Such an approach can help to create ownership and also help grant personnel think differently about data and decision making. Best practices. The campus personnel I met with are poised and ready for change. Many want to do the right thing, but are not always sure what the right thing is. The best practices that have emerged from the other ADVANCE grants are ripe and ready for dissemination. Mining information from

While these exchanges withBrita do not require a moral reckoning so to speak, they nevertheless call for students (andinstructors) to project themselves into another’s shoes. In this case, the students’multidimensional awareness, of themselves as future engineers, current students and imaginedreporters provides a mechanism to understand the different ways that information is constructedand valued by different players, as well as the multiple uses of a given technology.

The question that remains is whether this workshop will be effective for the largerpopulation of faculty, outside of the “lead users” who attended the initial offering.

Women in engineeringindustry encounter experiences that include masculinized and non-supportive workplace cultures,various forms of discrimination and harassment, and the pressures associated with the day-to-dayduties of their specific role. While some women can endure the exclusionary environments andinappropriate behavior, other women decide to depart from engineering industry altogether.This review informs engineering industry of the experiences that may provoke women to leavethe engineering workforce and thereby enables them to create workplace culture andenvironments that are inclusive of women–which will help broaden the participation of womenin

Reliance on remote communication provided by advanced technology as well as theprocess of academic specialization are also related to the isolation experienced by the womenparticipants. In the absence of the buffering aspects of social integration,3 discouraging incidentsled students to question their competence, their “fit” in the institution and by association, theprofession and future aspirations.
