At the university level in German institutions, women constitute lessthan one-fifth of STEM majors, with alarming figures as low as 11% in electrical engineering,19.9% in computer science, and 17.2% in mechanical and process engineering [7].Global efforts to address this imbalance and close these gaps in STEM performancerepresentation and engagement have become an issue of international importance [9].STEM mentorship programs have emerged as a powerful resource and tool forempowering and supporting women in pursuing STEM careers [8].

The authors argue for a change in engineering writingassessment that favors formative assessment (focused on writing comments that lead to bothbetter writing and better engineering) over summative assessment (which sees writing ability asseparate from engineering design).A recurrent issue in the program at this school is that the students spend little energy inbecoming better writers and that the curriculum promulgates this message. At the time ofgraduation, the students will have taken 20 courses in their major field of study, but they willhave taken only two writing courses. These two courses include a freshman-level rhetoric andcomposition course, and a technical writing course where

In otherwords, a lack of solidarity has the tendency to create a stale culture which recycles antiquatednotions of teaching. The sentiments illustrated by P46 suggest that EBIP-awareness shouldperhaps begin in graduate school, which would proactively normalize the use of alternativeteaching innovations, as opposed to reactively finding a mentor after becoming an instructor.They further go on to state, “...that was probably the first time where I really felt like I reallyhad to build my own curriculum.

This not only helps thedesigners to visualize but to realize the forms through rapid prototyping with 3-dimensional (3D)printers. [5]While physical and digital modeling has various benefits for exploring design iterations, they donot provide an experiential aspect of architecture.

Concept maps were also scored qualitatively by the instructor forstructure. For the most part traditional scoring correlated with qualitative analysis (a highertraditional score signaled a more complex map structure) but notable exceptions occurred. Theseexceptions typically fell into high traditional score/simple structure and were maps that includedmany concepts but did not synthesize connections between the concepts
