To a smaller extent, some hearing students misunderstand spokeninformation, especially in lab environments.We report on the evaluation of an extension to our Real-Time Text Display (RTTD), to handle multiplespeakers (RTTD-MS), for engineering labs. RTTD was developed to reduce frustration in following theteacher and other peers during laboratory and other academic settings. The system projects a real-timedisplay of captions (RTTD) above a teacher who can move around the room during the class orlaboratory, which may aid deaf students in viewing both the speaker and the speaker’s words as text.Our first study with RTTD found that deaf students in engineering course lectures

opens new possibilities in nanotechnology, and other recent research holds exciting promise for energy-related applications. Dr. Dresselhaus’ public advocacy for women in engineering and science began in the mid-1970s, when the number of American women seeking undergraduate degrees in engineering began to rise. Recognizing this as an issue of great importance for the profession, Dr. Dresselhaus began actively speaking out in favor of women's access to careers in technology and science. Her unquestioned accomplishments in the laboratory and classroom gave her an unparalleled credibility in this national dialogue.

The ADA and other regulations provide standards, butfrequently they fall short of meeting the needs of people with disabilities in an optimal manner.Institutions that will be most successful with inclusion for students with disabilities will begin byincluding their perspectives in program development, planning, and other aspects of theacademic community. We offer the following additional recommendations: •   Provide opportunities for graduate student (teaching assistant) and faculty development focused on

Depending on theobjectives and content area, a question or task may require integrating content knowledge,problems solving ability, laboratory experience and ability to apply information (Patz, 2006). Ifthese concepts and vocabulary are not fully captured, students are likely to do poorly.Most mathematics course knowledge is tacit, so only a fraction can be verbalized or signedduring a lecture. Often students pick this up by integrating lecture material within their mentalschema by discussion and practice with their peers. In mainstream classrooms, deaf studentshave fewer opportunities to integrate academic knowledge, including reflection on experience.Given

She also encourages students with disabilities (or as one calls it ”special abilities”) to pursue degrees in STEM as well as break barriers for women in engineering to create a broad spectrum of opportunities and meet the 21st century STEM demands.

Diverger: People with this learning style prefer working in groups and listening to different points of view. They are emotional, imaginative and have broad cultural interests. They perform well in tasks that call for brainstorming new ideas.Philbin, Meier, Huffman, and Boverie conducted a study, based on ELT, to determine if therewere differences in learning styles by gender.9 The authors found that men were more than twiceas likely to have an assimilator learning style, implying a preference for reading, lectures andanalytical models in a

introductory engineering classes where certain students just can’t keep up with the rest of the class. Not everyone is cut out for engineering, not everyone has the natural intelligence, the grit, the academic background necessary for success. Certain students are struggling in this class, especially the students from disadvantaged backgrounds and groups. They ask a lot of questions in office hours, they work slowly, they seem lost in laboratory sessions. If they are struggling so deeply and so early, perhaps they aren’t going to make it. We feel bad for them and would like to help, but aren’t sure how to motivate them or catch them up. Do they need extra office hours? But there’s not time to help
