For example, we asked participants to review anumber of published teaching portfolios authored by engineering faculty. During groupdiscussions, participants showed a clear preference for teaching statements that were similar toresearch statements. One of the objectives of the program is to provide engineering graduatestudents with a forum to explore the unfamiliar world of teaching. That is, we want to encouragesome out-of-the-box thinking, but we found it important to provide participants with examplesthat resonate with them.The importance of the customization was highlighted for us in their

There is also a concluding section relatingsome final thoughts.Instructor Experience and Student ResponseAs alluded to in the Introduction, there are many ways electronic presentations may beused to improve the educational process. It is first worth mentioning a few examplesfrom the literature. Some of these examples involve much more extensive use of math-ematical and modeling packages, moving beyond a mere course supplement. For ex-ample, the world wide web may be used as a means of presenting both lectures andcomputer-generated examples to students completely apart from

undertakena deep, comprehensive and systematic study of one such policy at one Midwestern institution,exploring the recently instituted parental leave policy that allows women and men faculty andstaff to take a paid leave after the birth or adoption of a child. The study uses Dorothy Smith’sinstitutional ethnography as a method to examine how people’s everyday real world experiencesare mediated by textual documents (here the parental leave policy). By locating disconnectsbetween the policy and faculty's everyday experience with the policy we can offerrecommendations on how to better align the policy with STEM faculty's day to day lives, thusincreasing is effectiveness for addressing under-representation challenges.Building on past and ongoing

Following the presentations, students submitted theirengineering notebooks alongside answering the post-activity surveys. From the activity, it isexpected that students learn many important aspects of engineering design and apply engineeringdesign strategies to develop tissue engineering bioreactor prototypes.

Beyond these individual student-based blocks, the students worked ona two-part group design project during the second half of the semester.

Fundamental concepts are not merely lists of topics that make up thecurriculum but the core ideas of a subject that form the basis for equations and problem-solving[2]. If students have not developed a good understanding of essential concepts, they will have anunclear foundation of knowledge. This unclarity may result in students being unable toeffectively apply course concepts to solve real-world problems not explicitly addressed in class,leaving them unprepared for advanced study [3].Engineering problems require conceptual and procedural knowledge [4]. Instructors areincreasingly broadening learning objectives in undergraduate STEM courses to include not onlyprocedural knowledge but also conceptual understanding [5

typically done outside of the classroom anyway (homework, projects, classpreparation assignments, etc.), this concern is not specific to online courses. For exams andquizzes, one can potentially be even more confident in an online environment than in a F2Fenvironment that the work credited to a given student is their own. This can require significantresources, if one chooses the policing route, but is possible as outlined below. Alternatively, onecould take the approach of designing quizzes and tests that allow students to use a broader arrayof resources (internet, book, notes, maybe even each other, etc.) to minimize the monitoringrequirements. This second option also comes closer to mimicking what students will be asked todo “in the real world

As it pertains to attrition of women in chemical engineering specifically, one study findsno gendered patterns in attrition ([5]), while another found that, at institutions which were moresuccessful in retaining women, providing real world experiences, the impression that faculty careabout them, and forming connections with female peers were all factors that contributed tostudent persistence [6].The issue of representation in STEM is usually conceptualized as a “leaky pipeline,” where welose students at certain critical junctures in their careers.

These findings set a precedence for studying how BME students andprofessionals understand and interpret the field of BME as science, engineering, or acombination of both. Several different theories and conceptual frameworks have been used to analyze identitywithin STEM.

This idea diversity may enhance their creativity and lead them to develop moreinnovative solutions that appeal to a broader audience.
