two working-class parents in adouble-income household. Both parents were first-generation college graduates from theMidwest, and they raised me and my two siblings in California. I graduated from a private,teaching-focused university in Texas with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in civil engineeringwith an emphasis on structural engineering. I worked for three years as a civil engineer beforegoing back to school and pursuing engineering education. My education and career inengineering took place in predominantly white, male settings. Since this research captures theexperiences of WOC, my race, gender, and experiences in engineering education are salient as aresearcher in this study. Many of these women’s experiences I did not relate to

work conducted as part of therecently funded National Science Foundation Research in the Formation of Engineers project,"Research: Looks Like Me": Leveraging Funds of Identity to Enhance Engineering CareerPursuits in Rural/Reservation Communities. The overall goal of the project is to fosterpartnerships among tribal and community colleges and the surrounding rural and tribal schooldistricts. These partnerships will result in increased awareness and preparedness of rural andindigenous youth to pursue engineering and engineering related careers. We are currentlyassembling professional learning communities (PLCs) consisting of pre and in-serviceelementary teachers, instructors from partner tribal and community colleges, and faculty from alarge
, and Readiness for Engineering andTechnology (GEARSET) Program is to enhance the student learning, academic pathways,academic performance, professional preparation, retention, and graduation of low-income,academically talented (LIAT) students aspiring to engineering careers. By recruiting a diversepool of students with demonstrated academic talent, and by facilitating a pathway to engineeringand technology majors for students who must first complete required pre-engineering courses,we also seek to increase the equity and diversity of the institution’s College of Engineering. Theproject will contribute to the existing knowledge of the impact of financial aid, mentoring,academic support, and professional development on the engineering career

The three cross-cutting themes extracurricular opportunities to nearly one hundred studentswere the core values of the School of Engineering, the who enrolled in at least one engineering course. The Schoolneed for diversity in engineering, and the availability of of Engineering also provided opportunities for students todifferent career choices in engineering.

central evaluation questions addressed by the evaluation were as follows: 1. What do youth learn about the design process and engineering through participation? 2. How does participation in the program influence youth attitudes towards STEM in general and engineering in particular? 3. How does participation in the program influence youth plans for future college and career?ProgramDesignThe TechHive program was designed to create a culture of HOMAGO (Hang Out, Mess Around& Geek Out) for participants. HOMAGO was initially developed as a theory of how youthinteract with new media, using it to “hang out” and extend their friendships, “mess around” toexplore their interests and tinker, and “geek out” by diving deeply into

, and career-relevant interest, one can conclude theelementary school years is a critical time to increase student engagement in a discipline such ascomputer science.Bringing computer science into the early grades can be a challenging task since very fewteachers who graduated from programs had an objective to build one’s capacity to engagecomputer science subjects. The literature has some manuscripts, e.g., [6] that discuss the codingskills of practicing teachers. After reviewing these manuscripts, it is apparent that most k-12teachers, especially elementary teachers, are novice programmers. Computer science educationliterature reports that novice programmers tend to use a trial-and-error approach when they aregiven the opportunity to develop a

Participants rank research as thecomponent that is the most important to them and their career goals.2 Program ActivitiesThe activities of our S-STEM program, entitled the High Achievers Scholarship Program inComputer Science and Mathematics, center around a weekly STEM seminar. Scholars arerequired to attend this one credit hour, graded seminar. Undergraduate students can earn amaximum of three hours for attending the seminar; none of the hours count toward a graduatedegree. During the seminar, students have the opportunity to listen to guest speakers, engage inleadership building activities, and present their own research. Outside of the STEM seminar,scholars are required to collaborate on a research project and attend study halls

culture that is at odds withAfrican-American students’ need to feel as though they are helping others and the need for acooperative educational culture15, 21. This perception affects both the tendency of Black studentsto choose engineering and often the ability of Black students to remain in engineering. Forexample, Powell21 states that there is “considerable evidence that today’s college students,particularly African-Americans and Hispanics, avoid majoring in science and mathematicsbecause societal cultural traits support unfavorable images of scientist and make the attainmentof a scientific career unrealistic.” Surveys of college freshmen and high school juniors showedthat African-American men expressed a greater interest in social service

Professor Kokini’s research activities include the study of thermal fracture mechanisms and design of high-temperature advanced materials such as monolithic, precracked and functionally graded ceramic thermal barrier coatings. He also works on interdisciplinary research related to the biomechanical behavior of soft tissue implant materials and the biomicromechanics of ECM-cell interactions under the application of mechanical loads.

The goal for the course was that greater numbers of students would understand thepractice of engineering and engineering technology and would choose to pursue these in theircollege studies. This paper describes the collaborative process used to design and implement thecourse.Course DesignIn response to inquiries from two local schools, the University of Cincinnati developed aworking group with the goal of providing high school students a meaningful introduction to thepractice of engineering. This group consisted of instructors and administrators from three localhigh schools along with faculty and staff from UC’s College of

the concept of dual degreeprograms is consistent with recommendations contained in recent reports regarding therelationship between undergraduate and graduate education (advocating that we move towardsthe master’s degree being the professional engineering degree7,8).With more schools adding dual degree programs, we believe that schools need a greaterunderstanding of how students decide to pursue a dual degree or other graduate degree. Theinformation about this decision process should enable programs to better support their students’in this phase of their education and career planning. It will also give schools insights into how tostructure effective dual-degree programs to support the students considering graduate workthrough a dual degree
