However, the U.S. system of science and mathematics education is performing far below par and, if left

Filling the Gap: Philosophical Foundations of the Maker Movement Thomas Ask Professor of Industrial and Human Factors Design Pennsylvania College of TechnologyAbstractThe maker movement exploits a gap in what Kuhn refers to as “normal science”. The makermovement promotes experimentation and whimsy. It equally embraces old and new materialsand technology in pursuing the maker’s vision of the completed object. Making also fitslogically into the Kolb Cycle of experiential learning with its routing through episodes of feeling,watching, thinking and doing. Making typically provides immediate visceral feedback on adesign’s performance which produces tacit

Retaining Women Engineering Faculty – What Do We Know? Linda R. Musser, Pennsylvania State UniversityA recent ASEE Profiles survey reporting on percentages of engineering faculty by rank andgender found that women engineering faculty numbered less than a quarter of all engineeringfaculty in every rank. It went on to speculate that the overall number of women engineers inacademe were unlikely to change in the near future. Why is this the case? Are women engineersnot choosing to pursue academic posts? Are those that do not being retained? If so, why? A2011 study by Mason found that women who planned to have children opted out of the tenuretrack pipeline at research universities in favor of careers that they
