©American Society for Engineering Education, 2025 Paper ID #49551 Dr Andrew X Stewart is a neuroengineering researcher working on EEG data and sleep neurotech. Previously, Dr Stewart completed a postdoc at the UC Davis Center for Mind and Brain, and joined NeuralStorm as it’s first program coordinator, and so helped support the program and students in the early years. Andrew was a mentor to NeuralStorm Fellows and Trainees, and advocated for camaraderie in neuroengineering work at UC Davis. He worked richly with NSF for program requirements, with MCC on best program evaluation, and across UC Davis to set up events like the

Even though asa boy I was fascinated and impressed with the imagery and sets of the original series, today itappears primitive and campy. That combined with the acting style of William Shatner make fora lot of laughs. All of the series include moments of humor and good-natured teasing.Course StructureThe course meets once a week for a 75-minute period.

). Recent evidence shows that the gender gapin earnings is increasing after a period of decline (13). This gap is partly due to workers in female-dominated occupations being paid lower average wages than workers in male-dominated occupations. Themost common explanation for occupational sex segregation is that women choose different occupationsbecause they are socialized to prefer different types of work from men (10). Girls who are encouraged toplay with baby dolls and learn to take care of others may become elementary school teachers and nurseswhile boys who play with building blocks may become engineers (10).
