In response to numerous reports in the 1990s andearly 2000s [4-7], multiple EER graduate programs were established in the mid-2000s and agrowing number continue to emerge to educate and train the next generation of EER faculty andpolicy makers. Historically, many came to EER as individuals trained in other disciplines, butwith an interest in improving teaching and learning [8]. This approach created aninterdisciplinary space where many could learn the norms, practices, and language of EER asthey became scholars

Gender bias, as defined in this paper, is the unfair differences inthe way a person is being treated because of their gender. This can be conscious or unconsciousprejudice in thoughts and or actions.Research suggests that gender bias in academia is not only a question of whether male and femaleprofessors are evaluated more or less favorably but that women are also judged on differentcriteria than their male counterparts [1, 2].

The toy was asmall stuffed likeness of an animated movie character. Embedded in the toy was a batterypowered module which played a short clip of the character’s voice when the toy was subjected torough handling. Disassembly of the module revealed a simple spring trigger mechanism to sensethe motion of the toy and cause it to activate the voice circuit when sufficient impact accelerationoccurred.Hands-on experience is a key part of effective undergraduate engineering education [1], [2].Coupling hands-on experience with team project-based learning further benefits

Ill-structured tasks are important to engineering courses because they are similar to authenticproblems that students will encounter in their future workplaces [1], [2]. Solving ill-structuredtasks collaboratively allows students to expand their learning beyond “drill-and-practice”-typeproblem solving and engage in higher order thinking and co-construction of knowledge [3].Nevertheless, studies have indicated that it is necessary to scaffold ill-structured tasks becausethey are complex [4], [5], and students do not naturally implement effective collaborativeinteractions while solving these tasks [6].

One of the difficult tasks is toaccommodate the increased number of students with physical facilities that were built for fewerstudents. To this end, we proposed a countermeasure to cope with the situation withoutincreasing the physical lab space by creating a virtual lab (VL) space.
