The workshop participants discuss not only the research and its relevanceto the hiring process, they also discuss how to make this research and its implications forthe review of candidates known to the rest of their committees. We provide a brochureentitled “Reviewing Applicants: Research on Bias and Assumptions5” that they can takeback to their committees to aid

strategies for otherstates to consider.ProblemGender equity is a key strategy for maintaining our Nation’s preeminent status in science andtechnical innovation. The last 30 years have seen women make great strides in education andemployment.1 Women now receive more than 50 percent of the bachelors degrees conferred andare close to reaching parity in the once male-dominated fields, such as law and medicine.Unfortunately, these gains have not been uniform in all fields. Women continue to bepersistently underrepresented in high-demand, high-wage employment fields of science,technology, engineering and math. While women make up nearly half of the American laborforces in 2003-2004 (Bureau of Labor and Statistics), they are less than 30 percent of the
minority recipients. Ofthe 25 engineering schools that are top ranked by US News and world report, only 5% exceed the national averageof minority freshman enrollment, and only 7% exceed the national minority graduation [2]. Many universities,federal and state agencies across the nation are responding to the global need for diversity because it is an effectiveway to serve an increasing heterogeneous society and is, therefore, essential in preparing a 21st century engineer foreffective communication and innovations of cross cultural divides.The need to channel under-represented minority students into the sciences continues to be a major national priority.Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education in America is not yet

data. We are reminded of a “secret” ofscience: models are just approximations of reality and reflect the tools that were available whenthey were created. Engineering schools should prepare students not only to use existing tools, butalso to redesign them in face of innovative technologies or in the presence of new engineeringchallenges.5.

The project is hosted at Rose-HulmanInstitute of Technology (Terre Haute). Funding for this innovative approach to teaching andlearning comes from the Lilly Endowment, Inc, Office of Educational Programs.Our emphasis on improving SMT learning stems partly from the natural fit with Rose-Hulman’s corecompetencies and partly from growing concerns about national deficiencies and their long-termconsequences. The increasingly interdependent
will be particularly important for the ENEprogram given that pathways to the program will be interdisciplinary in nature and thereforestudent backgrounds will continue to be highly diverse.ConclusionLaunching a new interdisciplinary graduate program is an exciting endeavor. New courses needto be developed, and there are considerable opportunities for designing innovative graduate levelexperiences. A new field also requires proactively thinking about how to bring people into thatprofession as well as how to promote community to sustain and grow the profession. At Purdue,two courses in engineering education were developed to meet this challenge. Although eachcourse had specific learning objectives, both shared a focus on promoting community
iterations. Specific to the platform planning method, quantitative (numericvalues) metrics of redesign complexity, assembly ease and value add metrics14 can be determineda set of method variables. These variables are important since the efficiency of a platform ideageneration could vary by changing these variables. In addition, the variables that characterize thenature of design problems need to be studied in the experiment. Widely used problem variablesin the literature are complexity, degree of innovation needed, and decomposability. In terms ofhuman factors, it is recommended to choose “equivalent” sets of designers in as many respects aspossible, such as their backgrounds or technical skills. Lastly, environment variables such astime constraint
