Responses indicated frequency of use, perceptions of value, expectation of success,and cost (e.g., use of TA’s, materials) for these classroom strategies: 1. Formative feedback loops 2. Real-world applications 3. Facilitating student-to-student discussionsControlling for course enrollment and years of experience, several significant differences werefound. Gender did not differentiate reported use of the strategies, but there were significantdifferences (p < .05) related to the expectation of success when integrating formative

We also askedstudents to describe the factors that would make their engineering education more satisfying,with the findings summarized in Table 6. Respondents reported that they would like theireducation to include more of: internship and work experiences, discussion of real worldapplications, choice of courses, and opportunities to study abroad. These factors are the sameacross different subgroups of students.The desire for more real world applications and better connections between industry anduniversities was also mentioned in the open-ended responses on the survey.

Preliminary analysis of interviews revealed that 1) all coordinatorsbelieved inclusion of empathy was important for students to understand STEM’s application tothe real world, 2) all coordinators were enthusiastic about the lessons and believed that thelessons were empathy-based, 3) classroom coordinators believed they scaffolded empathy in theclassroom but the post-doc did not, and 4) none of the coordinators were certain the studentsgrasped the empathy concept well. The coordinators said, to different degrees, that they thoughtthe students understood the design process and empathy but that the students could not describewell or convey quickly the process or what empathy meant to engineering design.When asked about empathy in the lessons, Ms

, and the types of faculty support and othercollege resources that successful students sought out and used. Perna and colleagues (2010)studied other underrepresented students in STEM with a similar, anti-deficit approach. Theirstudy documents the benefits from, for instance, paid summer internships that help students tosecure financial resources to pay for college, and at the same time, to overcome themarginalization that students can experience in their college settings as they integrate themselvesinto the STEM professional world. These types of positive, asset-building approaches used bysuccessful students are among those that the BOLD Center implements. Thus, the anti-deficitframework provides useful guidance as we steer students towards

A future conference submission will cover the courseitself as a model using the “Four Frames” framework.One approach upon which to overlay the recommendations above for helping female engineeringstudents to transition beyond the bachelor’s degree is coaching. Coaching in the business arenahas long been shown to improve work performance, time management, and team effectiveness inindividuals and organizations. Coaching clients also note greater self-confidence, enhancedrelationships, more effective communications skills, better work-life balance, and improvedwellness.14-19.

As a first step in understanding this topic to direct future research,we focused on systematically understanding the application of this framework within STEMcontexts in secondary and post-secondary education.To answer this question, we first conducted a literature search on funds of knowledge generally.Results from multiple electronic databases, including Education Full Text (EBSCO) and Scopus,found one prior systematic review conducted on the framework.

[28] highlighted key attributes the engineers of2020 are expected to hold, i.e., strong analytical skills, practical ingenuity, creativity,professionalism, and leadership. These skills have been echoed in the work of Godfrey andParker [29] who collected data from engineering faculty and students of ways of thinking andknowing relevant to engineering. Their work found that both faculty and students described waysof thinking as its applicability to real-world problems (e.g., “engineers aren’t interested in thingsfor only academic interest”), communicating through mathematics (e.g., “we use math like alanguage—a language to express ideas”), and innovative/creative ways of problem solvingthrough design (e.g., “engineer’s role in developing

Both upper- and lower-division students also commented on the lackof diversity, leaving comments such as “Engineering, as is, is a profession that attempts to beexclusionary discipline [sic].

We routinely negotiate with partners andformer partners, sometimes on very difficult matters – budget, time, childcare, and much more.We negotiate with our children, with vendors and with our students. There is no doubt we havesome substantial expertise in handling ourselves as negotiators in a wide variety of settings.However, the area where we have the least opportunity for gaining experience in negotiationsurrounds our professional world, particularly as it relates to our own professional advancement.While
