Director, Teaching and Learning Initiatives
(303) 492-4967

Dr. Louie has been the Director of the Women in Engineering Program and a Senior Instructor in the Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering. She received a BS in Chemical Engineering from University of Colorado (1977), an MS in Chemical Engineering from the University of Colorado (1983), and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Oxford University (1993). At CU-Boulder, she has taught GEEN 1400 (Engineering Projects), GEEN 1500 (Introduction to Engineering), CHEN 1300 (Introduction to Chemical & Biological Engineering) and CHEN 3130 and 4130 (Chemical Engineering Junior and Senior Lab).
In the BOLD Center, Dr. Louie's focus is to increase the number of female students studying engineering at CU-Boulder, develop and implement engineering education initiatives and increase student performance and community-building through the addition of the Education Excellence Foundation (EEF)-sponsored Student Success Center and the new Women in Engineering Living and Learning Community. She works to broaden the peer and professional mentoring programs, to provide more professional development opportunities, and to develop more scholarships for female students. You are welcome to ask her about resources and opportunities that are currently available.

Director, GoldShirt Program
(303) 492-6473

Ms. Ennis is the Director of the GoldShirt Program — new to the College of Engineering and Applied Science and run out of the BOLD Center — which provides underrepresented students access to engineering . Ms. Ennis believes that all students, regardless of their circumstance, are learners and have the creative capacity to achieve and exceed their goals, especially to become and thrive as engineers. She also serves as an Instructor for Preparatory Physics (PHYS 1000) and Introduction to Engineering Design (GEEN 1400).
As the mathematics department chair at the Denver School of Science and Technology, Ms. Ennis' passion for teaching helped high school students of all backgrounds exceed math performance expectations. She received a BS degree in Electrical Engineering from Southern University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana an MS in Computer Engineering from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, Ms. Ennis brings a wealth of knowledge from both her professional and educational experience when she teaches and advises CU engineering students.
She has extensive corporate experience in the telecommunications industry where she developed and implemented large-scale systems for AT&T Bell Laboratories, U S WEST and Covad Communications.

Dr. Stephanie Rivale

K12 Engineering Education
(303) 492-4276

Dr. Rivale received her PhD in Science Education at the University of Texas. She received her BS in Chemical Engineering at the University of Rochester and her MS in Chemical Engineering at the University of Colorado. She has collaborated on engineering education research with both the VaNTH Engineering Research Center (through Vanderbilt University) and UTeachEngineering (through the University of Texas-Austin). Dr. Rivale's research uses recent advances in our understanding of how people learn to evaluate and improve student learning in college and K-12 engineering classrooms. Her work has also focused on improving access and equity for women and students of color in the STEM fields.
Please contact Dr. Rivale to discuss STEM research or K-12 engineering education.
