First, more students need to be attracted to pursue college-levelstudies in the STEM fields. Second, once those students are attracted to a STEM field,the colleges and universities must provide an attractive, nurturing environment designedto allow a wide range of students to succeed, while still providing a rigorous technicaleducation.The College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) has generally been able to attract as

Collaborative learning, cooperative learning and other forms of active learning arebeing used in classrooms as ways to promote teamwork among students and enhancetheir learning. Studies on these approaches, as well as on the use of groups in classroomprove that trying to incorporate teams into the classroom is a highly complex task 9. Themany elements involved in the process of introducing teaming to a classroom setting,make such
spatial tasks (d=0.30).At Georgia Southern university, Hughes11 examined course confidence for science, mathematics,and technology majors. While not specifically surveying engineers, this study is importantbecause it uniquely examines course confidence as a function of the gender of both student andinstructor. With instructors of either gender, women had significantly less course confidence thanmen despite similar GPAs (confidence differences of 0.2—0.5 on a 5 point scale). For femalestudents only, course confidence was 1. Negatively correlated to a male instructor showing favoritism to either male or female students (p<0.05, correlation coefficients -0.16 to -0.21). 2. Positively correlated to respect from male peers, in a class

and processing technologies, including harvesting, dewatering, and chemicalseparation, all have technical challenges to overcome. Also, all these processes are energyintensive and/or involve significant water loss.If the industry is to succeed in developing sustainable technologies, as is the vision of the AlgalBiomass Organization, the industry will need engineers that are environmentally conscious, workwell on interdisciplinary teams, and perform interdisciplinary work. For example, a company atthe Algae Biomass Summit in 2010 told us they had an immediate need for recent mechanicalengineering graduates who can also do mass-spectrometry. These kinds of requests for inter-disciplinary skills are expected, and we as educators of engineers
