Assessing Women in Engineering (AWE)Project, is producing its Advancing Research into Practice (ARP) series, which translatesresearch findings on many these issues into practical recommendations for use in the classroom(http://www.engr.psu.edu/awe/ARPResources.aspx).ConclusionThe ADVANCE Project at Louisiana Tech University is approximately half-way through a four-year NSF ADVANCE PAID, utilizing a college-wide, systematic, sustainable approach forincreasing the impact and presence of women faculty in STEM. As suggested by initial focusgroup surveys, the project is focusing on the issues of climate, retention andpromotion/leadership, using a theoretical framework suggested by Social Cognitive CareerTheory. Namely, a concerted development of formal
programs. Interviews were conducted with students rangingfrom freshman through senior undergraduate, and Master’s and Ph.D. graduate programs as well.The interviews highlight a series of commonalities and differences across the students, includingmany of them prioritizing school and athletics above their other life commitments, and each ofthem possessing a variety of different time scheduling and study habits. From these personalaccounts and interviews, a series of best practices for success as either a student-athlete or aregular student involved in other high time commitment co-curricular activities are developed. Italso becomes clear that there are many paths leading to success as a student. This work can beused by educators to gain insight

In this paper, we present acurriculum design for teaching technology across a CEM curriculum and evaluate theeffectiveness of this curriculum both in terms of knowledge transfer and learning.Literature ReviewIn recent years studies such as [7], determined the technical and personal abilities required ofyoung professionals by today’s construction industry: today’s CEM graduates need to havestrong collaboration and teamwork skills; they need to have a broader perspective of the issuesthat concern their profession such as social, environmental, and economic; and finally, they needto know how to apply fundamental engineering science and computer skills in practice.

terms of student performance, studies have shown mixed results for online learningcompared to in-person learning [12]. Some studies have found that online students performed aswell or better than in-person students [13], while others have found that in-person learning isassociated with better academic performance [14]. The impact of race and financial backgroundon student success in online learning has also been explored in previous research. Studies havefound that students from lower-income backgrounds and minority students face greater challengesin online learning, such as limited access to technology and the internet [7, 11, 15]. A study has demonstrated that the abrupt transition to online education during the middleof a semester can

integration in undergraduate curriculum topositively impact the quality of education. The first recommendation of the Boyer Report 3 wasto “make research-based learning the standard”. Integrating research into the classroom can alsoaddress several ABET 4 outcomes. For example, engineering graduates should be able to designand conduct experiments, analyze and interpret data, and have an ability to identify, formulateand solve engineering problems. However, in many engineering undergraduate curriculums,research is typically integrated into education mainly through university seminars and capstoneprojects. This paper presents an example of integrating research results in the classroom in a no-cost manner. By so doing, all students in the course have
positive impact on students as it teaches them to take100% responsibility of their life, to live their life with purpose, focus and direction and tobecome leaders that cause positive change in their communities.Students that had direct contact with communities had greater commitment and drive. Theyalso formed a different relationship with adversity. Instead of seeing the problems as personalroadblocks, they simply saw them as challenges that had to be cleared. Students that haddirect contact with struggling communities gained additional value as they became sensitiveto the challenges and opportunities that surround them.Through the process we discovered a number of things, which are the hypothesis andfoundations for our continued research

Mental health impacts of such a culture merit further study.The limited research on mental health completed specifically in engineering education used quantitativemethods (Cross & Jensen, 2018; Danowitz & Beddoes, 2020; Jensen & Cross, 2020) and shows thatengineering students experience higher rates of mental health issues like panic disorders, PTSD, anxiety,and depression compared to students in other majors regardless of identity. However, rates of mentalhealth disorders climb substantially for both white women and women of color, but also for bisexualwomen, who have panic disorder at eleven times the national average (Danowitz & Beddoes

They weighed the prototypes, measured the max deflection at failure,and recorded the maximum weight their prototype held before failing to calculate the design’sactual factor of safety. This project satisfied the institutional outcome for physical prototypingand allowed the students to put in practice all the design principles that were presentedthroughout the course. Since there was not a third mid-term exam, this project also helped assessthe lesson outcomes after the second mid-term exam, including flexural stress, second momentof area, beam deflection, downselection, and modeling and prototyping.For the
