Her research focuses on communication in engineering design, interdisciplinary communication and collaboration, design education, and gender in engineering. She was awarded a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation to study expert teaching in capstone design courses, and is co-PI on numerous NSF grants exploring communication, design, and identity in engineering. Drawing on theories of situated learning and identity development, her work includes studies on the teaching and learning of communication, effective teaching practices in design education, the effects of differing design pedagogies on retention and motivation, the

Many students pursuing this fieldaim for careers in developing new medical technologies. Unfortunately, the BME-to-industrypipeline faces hurdles that appear to be keeping students from pursuing their medical industrycareer goals. Herein is a brief discussion of the history of BME and the influences that may havecreated challenges faced by students seeking industry careers. We then present a case study atThe Ohio State University (OSU), a large research I university, which evaluates and comparesthe industry employment potential of students progressing through and graduating from BME.Through this case study, we aim to identify measures

The STEM-CIS consisted of 44 questions that took the formof a 5-point Likert scale from ‘Strongly Agree’ to ‘Strongly Disagree’. The 44 questions weredivided up into four sets of 11 questions based on the four areas of STEM. An example questionwas “I am interested in careers that involve engineering”.Based on the work of Talton and Simpson [10], four more questions were in the pre-survey in theform of a 5-point Likert scale that looked into peer perceptions of science.

Furthermore, the few who know they want to work in academia may not knowwhether they want to be a teaching-oriented professor or a research-focused professor. Anestablished job shadowing program allows students to decide what is best for them and their futurecareers and consider pursuing a Ph.D. as a valid career choice. A consequence of establishing aprogram like this could be that more students are encouraged to pursue Ph.D. programs,particularly individuals who are underrepresented in academia.
