, there is a growing body of research on undergraduate mentoring. However,few studies explore faculty mentoring processes in academic settings and none describe howfaculty mentoring networks are enacted in ways that advantage and disadvantage particulargroup members such as women in engineering.44 Our research expands the current literature by studying not only women faculty members’mentoring relationships but also women engineers’ developmental mentoring networkconfigurations. Furthermore, we explore an underresearched mentoring process known asepisodic or spontaneous mentoring and mentoring moments.1 As such, we contribute to much-needed empirical research on women in STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and

In the Competitive AssessmentLaboratory at Rowan University, multidisciplinary teams of freshman engineering students fromeach of the four engineering disciplines perform competitive assessment on a consumerappliance (in this case, an electric toothbrush).The objectives of the Competitive Assessment Laboratory are as follows:1. Provide the launching pad for an innovative, four year design curriculum by introducing freshmen to the science and art of design by evaluating the work of practicing engineers.2.

IntroductionRecently, many statisticians have become involved in a movement to reform generalintroductory statistics courses2. This reform has focused on changes in content(more data analysis, less probability), pedagogy (fewer lectures, more active learning),and technology (for data analysis and simulations) 3. A principal objective of the reformmovement is to help students learn and apply statistical thinking. Statistical thinking has beendefined as thought processes that recognize that variation is all around us and present ineverything we do 4.A fundamental challenge is to

Thus, in the process ofdeciding about profession, women engineers responsibility must be increased in order to increasethe number of girls wishing to become engineer.One may ask if there is a need to increase female engineers in Turkey. Any developing country’sonly chance to rapidly increase its income and become a welfare state is by beginning to producetechnology, “especially in the knowledge era”. This can only be reached through the increase ofqualified labor in technology, thus engineers. The positive contribution of the increase of womenengineers in that process is not only their own production but also their potential to change thesociety’s prejudices by
