academic achievement and student retention, other factors such as self-concept in music and family socioeconomic status play a prominent role. 3. At the present time, success on a musical instrument cannot be predicted on the basis of student physical characteristics, possibly due to difficulty in identifying the characteristics to be measured and the lack of a appropriate measuring instrument. 4. Retention of students can be predicted with much more accuracy than student dropout. 5. The validity of predicting performance achievement after less than one school year of instruction may be questionable.[31] Todd Hoover,[23] in his paper entitled, “Performance Prediction

The Diversity Committee has built on the foundational work of multipledivisions within the society such as the Minorities in Engineering and Women in Engineeringdivisions. As an umbrella entity with representation from many divisions, the DiversityCommittee’s activities have grown, expanding from co-sponsoring conference programming andoffering Safe Zone workshops, to a formal paper program with special sessions. Challengeswithin ASEE have included bridging conversations and perspectives between technical-focuseddivisions and thematic divisions, as well as crafting responses to societal challenges that affectengineering students, faculty, and practitioners.Representatives of the ASEE Diversity Committee are recording this

In 2015, perceptions of engineering, engineering self-efficacy and professorratings predicted commitment to major. Regression results differed significantly in 2008 and2015. Among other findings, while underrepresented minority and international status negativelyinfluenced commitment to major in 2008, neither underrepresented minority nor internationalstatus had a significant influence on commitment to major in our 2015 sample.Introduction The loss of students from engineering often represents lost economic opportunities forindividuals, families, and society and can be a loss for post-secondary institutions who

product through local support,knowledge, technical expertise, and other services that add value.Despite a large contribution towards gross domestic product the Industrial Distribution industryrealizes a relative disproportionate number of male to female workers; less than 25% of theemployed workforce is made up of female employees. This ratio is disparate from United Statestotal female workforce participation of 57% [15].Unfortunately, there are no known studies that discuss gender stereotypes for females entering orcurrently engaged in the Industrial Distribution industry. Despite this there are a number ofstudies that examine gender differences with respect to perception of a female’s capability inmanagement across male-dominated industries
perception of the difficulty of their engineering coursesand their confidence in their technical skills. Responses about the difficulty level of thecoursework (Figure 3) show that the largest number students reported that some engineeringcourses have been easy while other courses have been more difficult. However, women weremore likely to say that courses were difficult or were becoming difficult, while men were morelikely to say the difficultly was about right or that courses were becoming easier. In response toquestions about confidence (Figure 4), students revealed that both men and women are fairlyconfident about their technical skills, or say that their confidence has increased as student.However, male respondents were more likely than female

One goal of thisoffering is to provide female students “with a framework to understand their experience has thecapacity to transform their individually internalized messages of personal inadequacy or notbelonging into a larger contextualized experience that they can name

The current percentage of women in the United States with bachelordegrees in engineering is 19.2% 2, 3. This percentage is a slight 0.8% increase from 2010, whenthe percentage of women with bachelor degrees in engineering was 18.4% 3.An area of research that has received attention over the years to help contribute to ourunderstanding of why we lose women in engineering is identity.

In thescience, math and engineering disciplines, women were generally overrepresented among thefull-time teaching faculty. The aim of Dialogues was to encourage faculty to interact across these 7faculty-type divisions that might ordinarily keep this apart. Thus, all promotable facultyparticipated in Dialogues. Faculty were not separated by role or differentiated on this basisduring the sessions. However, due to the power differentials, these tensions did not generallybecome an

females in science and engineeringIntroductionThe concerns of low numbers of women in STEM have led to studies on the attrition1 and theimplementations of programs for the female students2. Studies found that students who withdrawfrom STEM majors are less involved in extra-curricular engineering activities, have lowerengineering self-efficacy and career expectations, but higher anxiety1, 3. However, the averageGPA of women who withdraw from STEM is no different than that of others1. To increase theretention of women in STEM, solutions have been proposed by many studies such as facilitatingcommunities for females4-5, involving peer mentors6-9, and mentoring by faculty and/or womenengineers10.According to the American Association of University

This study also showed that there was a higher percentage of womenvolunteering than men.4The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Design Engineering Division (DED)have developed and instituted workshops that focus on professional skills for their members,along with “building awareness of the inequalities that still exist in our community andbeyond”.2 From 2009 onward, the ASME DED developed workshops that were held annually atthe ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences (IDETC). Each year, therewere workshops that covered a different topic. The goal of the program was to increase thediversity of the DED. Therefore, the
students is especiallyvisible in Engineering Competition Teams (ECT). Examples of such student teams include theFormula SAE race team sponsored by SAE International, and the Concrete Canoe Competitionsponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers. ECT provide some students opportunitiesto develop their engineering technical and professional skillset. However, students who areexcluded from participation, particularly students from underrepresented groups, do not haveaccess to these advantages. This paper stems from a multi-year mixed-methods research projectto investigate factors that contribute to the low diversity in ECT. Using a nationally distributedsurvey of engineering competition and service learning team members, we show that
