Pedagogies Of Liberation In An Engineering Thermodynamics Class

Conference Session: Women in Engineering: New Research
Collection: 2003 Annual Conference
Authors: Donna Riley

engineering have not placed sufficient emphasis on pedagogy orcurriculum as avenues for reform, despite repeated calls to do so. Davis and Rosser1 note thatwhen institutions undertake curricular reform, they rarely consider the gender impacts of theirefforts, let alone fully integrate curricular reform with strategies to establish gender equity. Thecurrent mindset is that improving engineering education in mainstream ways, without consideringgender or race, will help all students – “the rising tide raises all boats.” Thus, reforms - such asestablishing relevance of course material - are often done only from a white male perspective, andmay or may not have relevance for white women and people of color. Rosser 2 notes that whenreforms are implemented

conflict.This can be helped by (a) creating an environment where students feel safe enough to do this, (b)directing their attention to this issue, (c) welcoming discussions about conflict, and (d) providingthem with tools to identify and resolve conflict.Note that we are not saying that all learning is necessarily preceded by conflict, nor that conflictis the only key to learning. Once a student is ready for learning, they may proceed with little ifany conflict. They may be more open to making subsequent changes too. A few people maynever enter conflict, though we expect those to be very few indeed. Furthermore, effectivelearning requires many other elements, such as sources of new models to try, situations in whichto practice, and communities for
