. We did find evidence for that, and we gained more detailed information about particularaspects of problem solving. What we didn’t expect was the large difference in faculty/studentperceptions of the importance of Attitude/Communication. While it may be more difficult toaddress, faculty and the university as a whole should pay greater attention to this domain if theywant to empower graduate students to be more successful in their graduate work.ReferencesBloom, B.

boysexclusively makes no sense, and a part of the diversification of an over- all population should bedifferent populations working together. Engineering outreach programs have been around for quite some time, with a casual survey indicating that the late 1990’s saw an uptick in the number of programs, perhaps due toincreased NSF funding. In the same time period, efforts to recruit more women to engineeringwere languishing. The nationwide percentage of women has hovered in the vicinity of 18% forover 20 years [1]. Coincident with these phenomena, research emerged providing good insightinto characteristics of educational programming that appeal to girls.

process) and POED 4(prototyping, testing, and post-mortem analysis) represent the two largest areas of student focus,but with POED 2a (concept generation) the second largest individual category. By comparing Figure 6(c) and the terms we highlight in Figure 6(a), we observe that thewords most frequently cited overall seem to approximately map to the POED most frequentlywritten about by individuals. We note the frequent use of the word ‘team,’ and the fact thatPOED 1, which deals with several issues pertinent to team formation, organization, andmanagement, both represent areas frequently explored by individuals in the LS. Similarly, weobserve that ‘concept(s)’ were extremely well represented in the writing samples. Those wordscould refer to

learning are ways of teaching that better connect the component parts of engineeringwork"8(p174). Sheppard et al. identify five key insights for rethinking the education of engineers:“Engineering work is inherently interactive and complex; Formulating problems and solvingproblems are interdependent activities; Engineering has many publics, Engineering incorporatesmany domains beyond the technical; Engineers affect the world.”8(p175) However, pockets ofinnovation suggest that transformation of engineering education is underway. In order tomeasure this transformation, it is important to benchmark the current practice, or 'signaturepedagogy', of engineering.Signature PedagogiesA signature pedagogy “organize[s] the fundamental ways in which future
