Also, the National Council ofExaminers for Engineering and Surveying has recently added a professional engineering licensingexam in the area of architectural engineering. This clearly indicates that the demand for programsin architectural engineering is strong and with the booming building construction industry, thedemand for architectural engineers is expected to continue to grow.

following questions:1. How did the constructor rate the value of the subjects in the construction curriculum?2. How do the constructors assess the different construction subject areas in the curriculum?3. What was the background of the respondents and their firms?II. Method and ProcedureFor the purpose of this study, a questionnaire (see appendix) was developed by the AssociatedGeneral Contractors of America Education Committee. The questionnaire sought informationrelated to a four-year construction curriculum and those courses that would help the studentbecome better prepared for their careers, rank the significance of the construction course areas,and obtain background information on the respondents.The first part of the questionnaire was

This latter step was important in that it provided both amotivation to engage the work and a means to pilot the new instructional strategies.From the perspective of the authors and PLC members, the PLC provided a consistent space forits members to explore the concepts of social justice and inclusivity as they relate to curriculum,to our students, and to our own self-development. The environment was challenging but invitingand respectful, allowing for authentic discussion of ideas for teaming instruction activities andfor an opportunity to receive critical feedback. The variety of perspectives and experiences of thePLC members improved the quality of the teaming activities and modules that emerged, and alsopromoted the
personal desire to broaden partici- pation of women and other underrepresented students, including students in rural areas and those who learn differently, in STEM education from pre-K through graduate studies. Her current work focuses on supporting and evaluating the construction of collaborative communities and building evaluation capacity within organizations and large-scale programs. In all efforts Adrienne works to (a) truly understand the purpose and needs for the evaluation or research undertaking, (b) develop feedback cycles that support continuous program improvement, (c) make implementation and impact data available and interpretable for program implementers, and (d) select the most rigorous, yet feasible

research and evaluation of programs to improve human services, as well as developing evaluation methods that can be embedded within programs. Dr. Giancola’s current work focuses on developing methodological processes to embed evaluation into human services programs, such that program development can be driven by reliable and valid information and impact findings can be properly interpreted. Much of her work employs theory-based methods, not to replace rigorous research designs, but rather to supplement, in order to better understand implementation and effectiveness. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 ADVANCE Women’s Leadership at the University of Delaware

She also serves as the Faculty Associate to the Provost for General Education, and advises RIT’s provost on issues surrounding general education curriculum and delivery. Her research focus has recently shifted from ecology to developing methods that support the retention of underrepresented students in
sanitation, as well as sustainability solutions, through interdisciplinary approaches. Since joining the Olin College faculty she has also dived into the field of engineering education with an emphasis on integration of arts, humanities, and STEM. Her love of learning was first fostered by an unusual elementary school education that was deeply inter- disciplinary with a substantial arts curriculum. After graduating from Harvard University with a B.A. in Dramatic Literature, she worked professionally in theater and wrote and recorded two musical albums. She then returned to school to study engineering, earning a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Rutgers Uni- versity in 2011. While completing her degree at Rutgers, she wrote

She worked as a researcher for four years as a member of the Assessment and Evaluation team within the National Science Foundation-funded VaNTH Engineering Research Center, developed a two-year mentoring-based curriculum for underrepresented undergraduate students at Vanderbilt University, and co-facilitated training workshops for first-time biomedical engineering graduate teaching assistants at Vanderbilt University. She most recently completed a research project examining the validation of the VaNTH Observation System, a classroom observation instrument used exclusively to
preparation. Through a grant from the National ScienceFoundation Improving Undergraduate STEM Education program (NSF IUSE), three communitycolleges from Northern California collaborated to increase the availability and accessibility ofthe engineering curriculum by developing resources and teaching strategies to enable small-to-medium community college engineering programs to provide a comprehensive set of lower-division engineering courses. These courses can be delivered either completely online, or withlimited face-to-face interactions.

A critical first step is for our students to value diversity and to be aware ofhow variations in surface- and deep-level characteristics can shape a team’s performance andhow the quality of the experience for each person on the team. Therefore, in this study, weexamined whether students valued the diversity of their group members and their variedcontributions to their team’s effectiveness by asking the following research questions: RQ1 - How do students label their teams? RQ2 - What did students view as valuable within their team or team members?Methods: After receiving institutional
