University (HBCU) on an academic scholarship. After obtaining my bachelor’s inengineering technology, I moved back to the Midwest to pursue my graduate studies inmechanical engineering. In 2017, I chose to change my doctoral studies to engineering educationafter experiencing a pivot in research interests. My research focuses on teaching engineering toat-risk youth who reside in under-resourced communities.I arrived in ENE/WGSS 69500 in a neutral position about race, class, and gender. I completed asignificant amount of reading, but it was unsystematic and muddled without any structure and 9discourse. I was also hesitant in taking a course where I would
Engineer (Barbie). 2013. RandomHouse Books for Young Readers, 2013. 11Here’s an example of why unconscious bias matters. Professors in biology,chemistry, and physics at 6 major universities were sent an application for alaboratory manager position. All professors (127) received the same one-pagesummary. Half the time the applicant’s name was John and the other half Jennifer.On a scale of 1 to 7, professors gave John an average score of 4 for competence andJennifer 3.3. They would be more likely to hire John, and they would offer him moremoney.The bias had no relation to the professors’ age, sex, teaching field or tenure status.(so simply being a women doesn’t
Physics and Astronomy and Director of the CASTLE Center for Advancing STEM Teaching, Learning & Evaluation at Rochester Institute of Technology. His educa- tion research includes projects on the development of identity and affiliation in physics majors throughout their undergraduate career, and, separately, how physicists express conceptual meaning in mathemati- cal formalism. He has co-directed the PEER faculty development program for four years, integrating emerging research projects into ongoing programmatic activities that seek to improve the retention of first-generation and deaf/hard-of hearing students in STEM disciplines. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019Improving
