CommunityBackgroundThe need for STEM graduates in the United States is growing at an alarming rate. A 2012President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) report predicted that therewill be a 1 million college student deficit in science, technology, engineering, and mathematicsover the next 10 years (Olson & Riordan, 2012). For years now, there has been a call for moreunderrepresented groups in STEM fields. According to the National Center for EducationStatistics (NCES), only 18.4% of the students earning engineering degrees in the year 2014 werefemales (Digest of Education Statistics, 2015). Given this underrepresentation of women, it isimportant to determine why so few earn engineering degrees. Studies have shown that onepossible

Lape is an Associate Professor of Engineering at Harvey Mudd College. Her previous re- search in engineering education examined the effectiveness of flipped classrooms as compared to more ”traditional” active learning in a controlled study. In addition to educational research, she also runs un- dergraduate research programs in gas separation membranes and
