, Purdue University, West Lafayette (College of Engineering) Kayla is a doctoral student in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University. Her research interest includes the influence of informal engineering learning experiences on diverse students’ attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions of engineering, and the relationship between students’ interests and the practices and cultures of engineering. Her current work at the FACE lab is on teaching strategies for K-12 STEM educators integrating engineering design and the development of engineering skills of K-12 learners.Dr. Morgan M Hynes, Purdue University-Main Campus, West Lafayette (College of Engineering) Dr. Morgan Hynes is an Assistant Professor in the School of
the following themes: Black women have multiple identities that impact their experience in engineering. Some of Black women’s identities are accepted in academic and professional spaces; others are not. Recognizing the intersectionality of STEM, gender, and race identity. Preliminary strategies for cultivating environments where Black women’s multiple identities are equally accepted, including cultural capital.Next, the presenters will facilitate small group discussions of best practices to improve outcomesin the academic and professional lives of Black women in STEM and other marginalizedcommunities. There will be a special emphasis on developing an authentic understanding of
, andInclusivity in STEM Education at Cal Poly,” PLC sought to: 1. identify explanations for patterns of underrepresentation that exist within the research and best practices literature; 2. assess how Cal Poly’s student recruitment (admission and yield), retention, and graduation demographics compare to those at other institutions and the nation (with a focus on discipline-by-discipline comparisons); 3. employ the research and best practices literature as a lens to a) initiate analysis of Cal Poly at the course, major, department, college, and university levels and b) identify research questions and areas of uncertainty; 4. build and strengthen new and existing faculty
interviews, in addition to counseling sessions to helpstudents discern their vocational aspirations. In terms of unconscious bias training and learningto work with other students with empathy, there is a proposal to do that within the context ofCore curriculum classes for all first-year students in the university. This issue is not peculiar toengineering, but needs to be addressed campus-wide.That said, we are creating a task force to look at the first-year experience of engineering. Thetask force is charged with researching best practices elsewhere and making recommendationsregarding what may work at SCU. 6.
