    Seeking clues to promote the participation of women in electrical engineering studies
    (IEEE, 2014) Alejos, Ana V.; Garcia Sanchez, Manuel; Falcone; Lopez Martin, Antonio; Academic Writing Program; Milagros, Maria Pilar; Teaching Faculty; Academic Writing Program; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    In this contribution we discuss the need to analyze the problem of the scarcity of women in electrical engineering studies. We describe an ongoing survey to investigate the factors of gender segregation in this career. It also intends to transfer to classroom measures that encourage the presence of women in electrical engineering.

    (Ieee, 2014) Vazquez Alejos, Ana; Garcia Sanchez, Manuel; Falcone, Francisco; Sanchis, Pablo; Lopez-Martin, Antonio; Academic Writing Program; Milagros, Maria Pilar; Teaching Faculty; Academic Writing Program; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    Gender equality is one of the major goals in the social development of XXI century. In this work we analyzed the role of gender in the adoption of college studies focused on scientific and technical fields, with emphasis on engineering studies. As is apparent, it is necessary to continue to promote such studies in order to achieve those objectives of equality. An ongoing survey is described to investigate the factors of gender segregation in this career. It is also proposed to transfer to the classroom measures that encourage the presence of women in electrical engineering.

    The role of university-industry liaisons in achieving comprehensive curricula in engineering
    (IEEE Computer Society, 2014) Falcone, Francisco; Sanchis, Pablo; López-Martin, Antonio; Alejos, Ana; Academic Writing Program; Milagros, Maria Pilar; Teaching Faculty; Academic Writing Program; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    The proposed methodology and multiple forms of feedback can serve as a consistent tool in order to achieve a comprehensive learning experience, which develops beyond University and aids with lifelong learning itineraries for industry and with enhanced research relations for academia. The development of Final Degree Projects as well Master's Thesis has proved to be a valuable tool for students, faculty and industrial members. For students, it is a good opportunity to gain insight into real world working environments and project demands. For academia, it provides information on how to update existing teaching curricula in engineering degrees, and opens the door to new joint ventures in Terms of research with industry. For industry members, it is a natural mechanism to have access to state of the art research and a good pool of future workers in their institutions. Overall, the experience is very well perceived by all actors and the feedback obtained up to this date will provide valuable information in preparing imminent Final Degree projects for the EHEA adapted four-year programs, as well as for the new Master Degrees under development.

    Towards a new mode of reading Muslim diaspora writing: Muslimness and the homing desire in Abu-Jaber’s Crescent and Shafak’s The Saint of Incipient Insanities
    (Taylor and Francis, 2022) Academic Writing Program; Kuyucu, Neriman; Teaching Faculty; Academic Writing Program; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 328483
    This chapter draws on diaspora studies to offer a literary analysis of two novels by writers of Muslim and Middle Eastern origin, Diana Abu-Jaber’s Crescent (2003) and Elif Shafak’s The Saint of Incipient Insanities (2004). In the two novels, the notions of Muslimness, home and cultural identity are entwined with the theme of diaspora. By examining the intersection of Muslimness and the politics of homing desires as depicted in these novels, this study seeks to forge a new conceptual framework, ‘Muslim diaspora space’, as a lens for reading Muslim narratives, which broadens the various ways in which Muslim diasporic subjectivities can be theorised and used as an analytic tool in reading literary texts writers of Muslim origin.
