They then write a processreflection report that describes their learning and development over the semester. This reportprovides a synthesis of each student's learning over the course of the semester and is based onmultiple forms of reflection.Narrative ResearchThis phenomenological study used

science and technology students the institution wanted to know more about the current status and health of STEM majors. As is happening at many campuses over the past few years the university has become majority female. That fact coupled with the institution‟s strong liberal arts tradition makes it an interesting place to test ideas about attracting and retaining females and underrepresented groups into STEM. In the national context it is well known that women are still not represented in the sciences in accord with their numbers in the population though the representation varies by field where about half of undergraduate degree earners in the life sciences are female but only 25% in physics are female. Women earn 35% of the chemical

(STEM)education, there have been nearly continuous calls for curriculum innovation and improvement.In the past 20 years, however, many of these calls have intensified and focused on theincorporation of interdisciplinary, problem-based, “real-world” learning in one form or another.These range from more general reports like those coming from the Boyer Commission1 in thelate 1990’s, to specific work that led to the restructuring of the ABET accreditation processthrough EC20002. More recently, publications by the National Academy of Engineering such as“The Engineer of 2020”3 and “Educating the Engineer of 2020”4 have reenergized the call forinnovation in STEM curricula. Philadelphia University is a small, private university with a long tradition
process of developing new cross-disciplinary mastersprograms, and while several grant proposals have been submitted by Institute faculty, this will bea priority moving into the future. In the short amount of time that the undergraduate programshave been in place, a total of about 60 new students have entered the program or will be enteringthe program at the start of the fall 2012 semester. The work on the Institute of Environment,Sustainability, and Energy continues, and new objectives continue to be developed andimplemented.References 1.
