Innovative methods for evaluating the science capital of young children.

Padwick A, Dele-Ajayi O, Davenport C, Strachan R.
UIID-AD: 4257
2016; doi: 10.1109/FIE.2016.7757680.

Considerable effort has been spent on interventions to increase the numbers/diversity of young people studying Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and/or entering STEM related careers with little evidence of their effectiveness. In the UK, less than 10% of...

Leaning into engineering: Tenured women faculty and the policies and programs that support them.

Karpman DI.
UIID-AD: 4220
2016;

While researchers have documented the barriers that women in engineering programs face (i.e. gender bias, work/family conflict, "dual career" issues, limited access to information networks), few studies examine the experiences of successful women faculty and the challenges they overcame...

Major observations from a specialized REU program for engineering students with ADHD.

Zaghi AE, Tehranipoor M, O'Brien CN.
UIID-AD: 4336
2016;

Students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) tend to experience the traditional education system differently than their peers. The engineering education system has yet to realize unique potential of these students and identify ways in which to handle these...

PEEPS: Cultivating a cohort of supportive engineering students and building a support team for institutional change.

Chen KC, Schlemer LT, Lehr JL, Liptow EE, Duerr J, Finger H, Cabanez JB.
UIID-AD: 4137
2016;

A National Science Foundation (NSF) S-STEM (Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Program) scholarship program entitled, "PEEPS" - Program for Engineering Excellence for Partner Schools is a holistic, institutional approach towards recruiting, retaining, and graduating engineering students from...

Promoting computing faculty success through interinstitutional Faculty Learning Communities.

Barnes T, Rorrer A, Payton J, Buch K, Zuo H, Naolu B.
UIID-AD: 4262
2016; doi: 10.1109/RESPECT.2016.7836163.

Although issues related to the underrepresentation of women faculty and faculty of color in university computing departments have received increasing attention in recent years, these groups are still the least likely to have access to formal and informal supports...

Sol y Agua project: Promoting information science in middle school classrooms for a socially and environmentally responsible world.

Roy MK, Gates A, Akbar M, Ortega A, Tellez J, Lopez I, Murga C, Lanahan K.
UIID-AD: 4183
2016; doi: 10.1109/RCIS.2016.7549373.

The Sol y Agua project will augment the learning environment of middle school students with the creation of a computer game based on regional issues explored through information overload, virtual simulations, and real world data [1]. The game has...

Title IX and project lead the way: Achieving equity through all-female cohorts in public school settings.

Fletcher S.
UIID-AD: 4176
2016;

Nationally recognized programs, such as Project Lead the Way (PLTW), have provided interventions to increase the number of students exposed to engineering principles at the K-12 level. Although numbers of participants are increasing, in many high schools PLTW is...

Understanding how research experiences for undergraduate students may foster diversity in the professorate.

Stout JG, Tamer B.
UIID-AD: 4877
2016;114-119. doi: 10.1145/2839509.2844573.

College and university professors serve as role models and leaders. Unfortunately, in computing fields, only a small fraction of the professorate is women and/or members of minority racial groups. To address this issue, the current research assessed the role...

Women in ICT: Barriers to career advancement and strategies for improvement.

Sekoaila U, Adebesin F.
UIID-AD: 4292
2016; doi: 10.1109/ISTAFRICA.2016.7530588.

Women are generally under-represented in the technology, or ICT, industry. Their numbers dwindle as they advance to senior management, with only 19% of senior posts assumed by women [1]. This paper looked at barriers to career advancement of women...

Developing a Summer research internship program for underrepresented community college engineering students.

Chen C, Enriquez AG, Langhoff NP, Pong W, Mahmoodi H, Zhang X, Teh KS, Jiang Z.
UIID-AD: 4796
2017;

For the past several years, institutions of higher education have devoted resources towards increasing the number and diversity of engineering graduates by addressing the retention problem in the first two years of college. One of the strategies commonly employed...

Analysis of multi-modal spatial visualization workshop intervention across gender, nationality, and other engineering student demographics.

Segil JL, Sullivan JF, Myers BA, Reamon DT, Forbes MH.
UIID-AD: 4291
2016; doi: 10.1109/FIE.2016.7757525.

Spatial visualization (SV) skills are both learnable and linked to student success in engineering. Our work was motivated by previous research revealing a gender gap in SV skills that favors male engineering students. A multi-modal SV workshop intervention was...

Beyond the pipeline: Addressing diversity in high tech.

Holtzblatt K, Balakrishnan A, Effner T, Rhodes E, Tuan T.
UIID-AD: 4208
2016;1063-1068. doi: 10.1145/2851581.2886422.

An ongoing stream of news reports heralds the dearth of women and minorities in technology; these stories are supported by numerous studies from industry and government sources. Now companies are investing resources to "fill the pipeline." While this is...
