This paper describes a low-cost, successful program to help retain female engineering technology students with the ultimate goal of increasing the number of female graduates of our engineering technology programs. This program was started in 2003. The programming initially focused on academic support in the form of tutoring, formation of study groups and reimbursement for academic laboratory kits. This program did improve retention, but a survey of our students found that they also desired social support and opportunities to serve the community. Since the addition of programming involving social support and community building, retention of women students in the engineering technology programs has improved by an average of 6% per year. In addition to improved retention, the number of students receiving a D, F or withdrawing from the core first- and second-year courses in these programs has dropped by over 75%. © American Society for engineering Education, 2009.

Meeting the cost demand: A parametric approach to facility assessment and appraisal

The US Federal Agencies, including the Federal Highway Administration, recommend and in some case require rehabilitation alternatives before replacing a facility or bridge structure to effectively use available federal funds. The goal of facility management is to assess the structures most critically in need of repairstrengthening, decide the appropriate retrofit, and control cost. A project-level analysis is needed to assess costs associated with alternative repair procedures for specific facility and infrastructure treatments. The objective of this paper is to report the design and conceptual basis of a project-level cost-benefit model for infrastructure and facility management. This modelling approach addresses the process of constructing the repair, providing resulting costs, that build on the patented Parametric Automated Cost engineering System and contributes new and fundamental interdisciplinary systems-based knowledge applicable to facilities and bridge infrastructure systems. This model design provides: economically smart repairstrengthening options;a fundamentally new process documenting the decision processes;an audit trail on repair alternatives;and the basis for documenting lessons learned. The context of this paper uses the most recent applications to bridge repair, but builds on over 15 years experiences of usage and application of this modelling approach to vertical (buildings) and horizontal (infrastructure) facility management. © 2007 PalgraveMacMillan Ltd.
