Theother was in girls-only math clubs. Many of these girls had been unaware of careers inengineering or what that might entail. The latter group developed confidence and knowledge ofengineering areas that have traditionally been male dominated. However, the activities werenot sufficient to convince these young women that mathematics was a creative activity or that acareer in mathematics would be interesting.

It is also ranked top 15Nationally in Social Mobility according to The Wall Street Journal [3]. What makes Cal PolyPomona unique is the culture of “learn by doing” which emphasizes hands-on learning inclassrooms and laboratories. The reputation of being a top engineering school is well-deserved.The goal of this study is to build upon the successful culture of “learn-by-doing” by exploringhow a project-based approach in a traditional engineering course can improve student knowledgeof the subject matter.

They also indicated that they were more comfortabletalking about engineering in their own classes and using engineering examples and applications.When asked about which part of the summer course was most interesting, the teachersresponded: ≠ Using all the equipment was great! It really was good to be hands on with everything. It really gave me insight to how things are done in a lab. ≠ Different compositions of solar cells, their costs, and efficiencies [most interesting]. I had believed there was basically one "type" of solar cell. ≠ The applications [were

Due to the timeconstraints of the nontraditional engineering students within this evening section class, some ofthese techniques involving group projects outside of class will not be applicable. I selected apair and share technique for use with this course3. After presenting the lecture material includingan example or two on the board, I had the class break up into small groups of 2 or 3 to solve aproblem on their own. Afterwards we discussed the

Based onthe feedback provided by faculty, the following recommendations were implemented: • Speed up the teaming and project selection process • Place more emphasis on the early definition of the acceptance test in the proposal • Add a “dry run presentation” before the final presentation that is open to the public • Require more involvement in intermediate presentations from the faculty • Expand offerings of seminars on practical aspects of engineering • Develop training materials for faculty, which is particularly important for new faculty3.

Part of the reason is textbooks’ lack of basic experience-based intuitiveexplanations, resulting in a disconnect to real-life physical examples. Students may get goodgrades in the Control Systems class but at the same time may miss some basic essential concepts,such as modeling, stability, and the true meaning of feedback. In this paper we explain the concept of feedback

Theory of discrimination and denial of accessOne is the theory of discrimination, denial of access. Engineering was perceived as a masculinecareer and consequently, women were denied access. Studies of elementary, middle and highschool science reveal a persistent pattern in which teachers paid more attention to boys’ scientificinterests and provide them with more science experiences. Girls, on the other hand, developmore negative attitudes towards science and by the end

This ambiguity extends to (or perhaps stems from) educators’different approaches to teaching “science” and “engineering.” A poor understanding andappreciation of this difference profoundly affects the demographics of higher education aswell as those of the professional workforce.At the K-12 levels, educators’ attempts to introduce engineering into the curriculumtypically focus on either science education or technology training.
