Eachmilestone is classified both by the level at which advisors in our College believe students shouldaim to complete it and by the dimension of the student’s college education under which thatmilestone falls. Thus the flight plan forms a matrix divided into stages of their career (i.e., frompre-frosh through senior level) and into “runways”, which we categorized as 1) academicperformance; 2) career preparation; and 3) leadership & community engagement.

He was the inaugural director of the Science Outreach Office at the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh in the late 1980’s through early 1990’s. Many of the programs he instituted via external funding are still part of that office. He was the co-PI on the successful, long-term Operation Chemistry literacy program for all levels of teachers, and parlayed that national program into grant-funded summer and year-round workshops in Wisconsin, Nebraska, and North Carolina over a 15- year period.

More specifically, we ask: 1. Do gender differences persist in grades, engineering self-confidence, satisfaction with engineering major, satisfaction with peers, and commitment to engineering as a career, even when major, year, and cohort are controlled? 2. Is there an interaction between gender and major, so that women and men in the same major have different reactions/achievements in engineering? 3. How much variation in these variables is there between majors (women or men)? 4. Is there a clear pattern of variation in any of these

Traditionally, engineering schools have been the source of new graduates competent in the newtechnologies who can meet the needs of the industry and society. However, educators are often faced with morethan the mere challenge of conveying technical information to their students.
