manufacturing production in the U.S. createsmore economic activity both within and outside the sector than does a similar increment in anyother major sector. Historically, manufacturing’s innovations and investment raised itsproductivity faster than other large sectors and its productivity has added substantially to overallU.S. productivity.” 1 Similarly, in an article published in Time Business and Money Magazine(2013), the authors report, “The new economics of Made in the USA are built in large partaround acquiring cutting-edge technologies ahead of global competitors and then using thosenew techniques to produce more efficiently on super-automated factory floors.”2 It is stronglybelieved that manufacturing will once again become a local industry as

perpetuity by the IEEE on the Engineering andTechnology History Technology Wiki (http://www.ethw.org).IntroductionIt is well known that women “are more likely than men to ‘leak’ out of the pipeline in thesciences”1. Women earn 20.2% of physics degrees, 43.9% of mathematics degrees, 17.7% ofcomputer science degrees, and 17.5% of engineering degrees1. To encourage femaleundergraduate students to graduate with STEM degrees, and thereby increase femaleparticipation in STEM fields, this paper describes an Oral History project that provided femalestudents with unique mentorship with distinguished leaders whose careers align with thestudents’ intended careers.The project provided unique mentorship to the students so that the students are motivated

difficulties for a program offering distance learning revolve around one basic theme, getting students into the courses. 1) Conveying the program quality to the public: Distance learning has carried a stigma of poor educational value from the days of correspondence courses to today’s diploma mills. While the allure of a watered down program to get a quick buck is tempting for even traditionally strong academic institutions, especially in more trying economic times, it is becoming evident that a tradition of quality and value will stand the test of time. Students may complain about the amount, and rigor of work required to obtain a quality degree but they clearly value its significance. Programs these days need to beable to convey to the

most STEM departments reporting noactive faculty mentoring programs in place. The benefits of mentoring in the workplace havelong been documented in the literature, yet early and mid-career faculty at OU were generallyleft to fend for themselves unless they were fortunate enough to identify helpful faculty in theirdepartments on their own. So, it was thus not surprising that most faculty members indicated thatthey were not receiving assistance from their colleagues or department in the forms of careeradvice and development opportunities and that more mentoring, particularly as it pertains toresearch, was needed (Figure 1). As was seen in other studies, the percentage of women facultywho agreed or strongly agreed with the need for more

these, the Revise/Iterate activity proved promising for two reasons. Iterationis a goal-directed activity that involves making incremental refinements during the developmentof a design solution. A dependence on iteration to optimize solutions, along with consideringtrade-offs and constraints, is one of the distinguishing factors between the process of engineeringdesign and scientific inquiry.2 This is important in the context of STEM education to ensure thatscience inquiry and engineering design are represented authentically, as epistemologicallyrelated, but distinct, problem-solving processes. Secondly, as students iterate through a solutionsto a problem, their understanding of the problem also evolves,1 and studies suggest that a higherrate

Students may understand howto solve certain kinds of problems, but not necessarily why it works or where it came from.1 Inrecent years, engineering programs have emphasized the significance of creativity but have notnecessarily reinforced risk-taking personality traits. It is not often until there is a desperate needfor new ideas that the push for creativity and divergent thinking is desired. A clear example ofthis is the “Sputnik Shock” of 1957.

IntroductionCapstone design courses provide a major design experience for engineering students, usually during theirfinal year of undergraduate study. Although these courses are common across engineering programs inthe U.S., they vary substantially in the way they are implemented. The first nationwide survey ofcapstone courses was conducted in 1994 in an effort to better understand current practices at the time.1This was followed in 2005 by another nationwide survey2 using many of the same questions to update thedata and also to capture trends over time; the 2005 survey repeated many of the
