Addressing the Rest:

Understanding Influences and Incorporating Advantages of Non-Cognitive Factors in the Engineering Classroom

This engineering education research project is presently funded under the CCLI program within the National Science Foundation (DUE Award #0633753 and Award #0817625). It is being conducted under the leadership of Professor Denise Wilson at the University of Washington. The work is proceeding in two phases, each addressing specific problems identified as barriers to increasing diversity and magnitude of the STEM workforce in the United States. The goal of this research is to enhance the understanding of how both men and women perceive, process, and react to the engineering education cycle. The (Contemporary Worlds) intervention seeks to integrate known successful instruction strategy into the engineering curriculum in a way that is amenable and adaptable to a wide range of instructors, faculty, and students.
