of people with very strong physics backgrounds; and people in my discipline sort of have physics-envy, and they all ideally would like to be theoretical physicists. And so there’s a pecking order as there is in many disciplines with you know – people who are more physically based at the top and everybody else is down here. And so I’ve actually spent a lot of my career as somebody that’s not particularly good at the physics end of things either wishing I Page 23.89.13 was better or trying to justify my own existence to people who are better at that sort of thing.

frustration over trying to find solutions to problems for which the technical aspects were relatively mundane in comparison to the social and economic aspects. The essays from the REU program, in contrast, revolve very much around the research experience in a unique setting. The difference in student experience is also evident in the difference in post-graduation career choice of the students (with nearly all REU participants heading towards graduate education while the Haiti participants chose a number of paths including service and graduate school). Hence, it can be concluded that these three models produce three unique outcomes. • These learning experiences appear to preferentially attract women engineering students. The

As an example, if a teacher treats applied mechanics asan end in itself, he/she is not stimulating the students in putting the material in the mostmeaningful context. Although the material may eventually become “second nature” to thestudents, they may fail to appreciate and enjoy the subject because they did not perceiveits relevance and applications to their future course work and their career.

Framed in self-determination theory (SDT), results show students initially describe faculty behaviors aspositively contributing to student‟s autonomy, competence, and relatedness beliefs although theybecome neutral or negative at various points in time. A primary implication for practice is theneed for faculty, across all four years, to consider the potential impact of their behaviors asnegatively contributing to student motivation.The key

Yet applications from women for advertised faculty positions in S&E departments rarely match the numbers of women granted Ph.D.s. The disproportionate absence of women who have chosen not to enter the applicant pool for faculty openings gives notice that an unhealthy environment exists in S&E departments and institutions. The women aren't broken: the system is."Dr. Rolison’s message, although bleak
