Getting involved in engineering, campus, and the community? b. Taking on leadership roles in engineering? c. Considering leaving engineering? d. Do they consider the same factors to be encouraging / discouraging for continuation in engineering? 2. Do students from dissimilar institutions have similar experiences in terms of: a.

In one way or another, these women wereempowered to respond in a way that transformed that environment, despite the pervasiveness ofsexism. Although the results herein present three stories from one university, we are expandingour study. We are currently interviewing women leaders in ESTPs from Kansas State University,a four-year land-grant institution in the Midwest. The preliminary results highlight many of thesame themes in the thematic passage presented herein.References[1] P. Meiksins, P. Layne, K. Beddoes, B. Acton, M. Lewis, A. Masters, and M.

Much of the gender research on mindset has been done with girls and boys who areyounger than college students. Girls have been shown to suffer because of teachers who seemto have fixed mindsets, self-selecting out of STEM if they do not think they are smart enough [6].However, middle school girls with a growth mindset closed the gender gap on achievementtests in mathematics [6].B.

For the one search in which numerical designations for particular criteria wererequested in addition to an overall assessment value, the trend held true (to varying degrees) forall 6 candidates (of which 2 were from underrepresented groups and 4 were not). The academicequivalent of this is after assigning points for specific criteria on a paper, awarding one studentan A and the other a B in conflict with the actual scores. This pattern leads one to wonder, bywhat criteria are evaluators adding value to majority candidates and subtracting value fromminority candidates?Premature Ranking/Digging In: “All too often, evaluators rush to give numerical preferences tothe candidates or applicants they

These people position obstacles in front of others and typically respond in meetings along the lines of “We can’t do that because XXX was done in the past.” or “You’ll have to do A, B, and C before your request can be considered.” Think of this type of individual as a challenge, and you get to exercise your superior wits to find creative ways around their obstacles. However, refer to #5 and make sure that you spend time working around obstacles to productive tasks and not to maintenance tasks.

Throughout the review, students are encouraged to ask questions. In this environment,more women seem willing to ask questions. This is evident by their feedback (surveys) and bythe upper class session leaders and faculty observations.Weekly review sheets are prepared for the students (for sample worksheets, see Appendix A forPhysics and Appendix B for Chemistry). These review sheets highlight key formulas, concepts,and strategies to solve problems, especially in relation to concepts already covered in lecture.Although little more than a summary of lecture notes and the book, these notes seem

They are: a. Utilize an ecosystem approach to address issues of recruitment, retention, and advancement of African American women in engineering; b. Decouple the intersections of race and gender to address issues specific to African American women; c. Address microaggressions derived from biased-based perceptions and expectations of abilities; and d.

Despite the fact that 45%of leavers had A or B averages in their engineering course work, they were more discouragedwith their grades than stayers. Even women who were performing well academically werediscouraged by their grades—they were displeased with how they obtained their A and B grades.One unique aspect of the WECE study was its inclusion of engineering faculty. Unfortunately,the faculty interviews were focused on: evaluating the women students, their perceptions of theclimate for women students, and their beliefs about WIE support programs.

technological advances as well as the globalizationof businesses, economies and cultures in the twenty-first century, the importance of engineeringdisciplines and education has reached a critical state and prompted several examinations withinthe past few years. Although numerous studies and research on changing or restructuringengineering education have been conducted over the last century, many findings have remainedthe same over time, such as (a) what to include in the curricula, (b) how long engineeringeducation should be, (c) what level of specialization, (d) how to prepare students, and (e) how tomeet the needs of society. The trends in engineering education that we found to be mostprevalent in reviewed reports and articles are increased attention
