planned before the pandemic, the changes in oursupport systems and the focus of our team due to the pandemic were necessary items to considerin our research. This led us to include COVID-19 specific interview questions, and the resultsfrom these questions are discussed in their section within the results.4. Participants For this study, we interviewed 8 participants in various academic standings enrolled inengineering programs at a mid-Atlantic US university. The participants comprise 4 female and 4male students who hail from 6 different countries. Table 1 provides information on the studentsinterviewed with their home country, grade, and involvement.

countriesthat are positioned as high in one dimension and low in the other. For example, whileinternational students in the U.S. cultural orientation could be high, a country that is high on thepower distance continuum could also be low on the uncertain avoidance continuum.SamplingThe sampling procedure for this study was nonprobability, convenience sampling. A non-probability, convenience sampling involves seeking volunteers from a specific population for thestudy and using those who are readily available as the sample [26]. This study met the samplingcriteria as it sought volunteers from the population of undergraduate engineering students at asingle Research 1 university in the Mid-Atlantic of the U.S. There was no random selection orrandom

Education, 2021Exploring the Evolution of Engineering Students’ Feelings of Inclusion in Their Collegeand the Broader Scientific Community.AbstractThis complete research paper discusses how students’ feelings of inclusion change throughouttheir undergraduate career. Student responses acquired through focus groups and one-on-oneinterviews were examined to determine how included the students felt in their engineeringcollege and also the broader scientific community.A small group of non-calculus ready engineering students enrolled in a large land grantinstitution in the Mid-Atlantic region consented to participate in the study. The student cohortparticipated in an NSF S-STEM funded program aimed at fostering a sense of inclusion inengineering by

aspects of computing. Only in computer & info science is the fraction of advanced degrees earned bywomen higher than BS degrees. Biology and biomedicine are the only fields wherewomen students are in the majority, even at MS and PhD levels. Engineering/tech isparticularly male-dominated, followed closely by computer & info science, and thesefields account for higher-paying STEM jobs. Even though the focus in this section is on the US higher-education scene, itmight help to cite data from other advanced countries for comparison. Canadian figuresare similar (~34% of STEM degrees go to women), while the 53% figure for theEuropean Union is much better, although even for EU the percentage drops to ~19% inhigher-paying categories

kinds of organizational changes are needed at the institutional level to betterincorporate students both into their university and the organizational change process, students’perceptions of their own position and role must be known and understood. The purpose of thisqualitative investigation is to investigate how first- and second-year engineering students at alarge public Mid-Atlantic university describe their position and role within their university andprogram. Data for this study are drawn from semi-structured interviews conducted with tenstudents in Chemical Engineering. This selection of students from each of the first two years oftheir undergraduate careers provides a means for comparing how students’ views vary as theygather more

‘minority’ made them more attuned toexclusionary course experiences for other minority identities.Study ObjectivesThe National Science Foundation’s Revolutionizing Engineering and computer scienceDepartments (RED) grant was awarded to the Civil and Environmental Engineering Departmentat midsized mid-Atlantic university in 2016. The RED grant has worked to broaden access andimprove the climate of inclusion for underrepresented and underserved engineering students. In2016 and 2018, the RED research team distributed climate surveys to all engineering students.While extensive research has been done on gender and sexual minority students’ perceptions ofbelongingness in engineering, fewer studies have examined their perceptions of the

Finally, all use a course coordinator coupled withindividual faculty and/or industry mentors for each team. Team sizes are generally 4-6 students.The sites are also geographically diverse (northeast, mid-Atlantic, mountain west, and southwest)and include both public and private institutions.SamplingParticipants were recruited through a combination of in-person or video presentations from amember of the research team and emails sent through the capstone courses.

The projects grouped as both urban and rural were all state-wide initiatives where the project outcomes affected both large cities and rural regions. Taken atface value, this depicts a higher concentration of projects located in urban areas where internetconnectivity is generally more accessible. The financial geography shows that these projectstarget major US cities with concentrations in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, as well

As one of the students noted in thesurvey, we administered in 2020, “I think moral imagination is the unspoken ultimate objectiveof the class.”Reimagining

engineers are mostly likely tohave this attitude in the results section.MethodsThis section describes our process for classifying engineers according to their acculturationattitudes, as determined by their acculturation preferences, and exploring differences in theseattitudes based on their personal and job characteristics.Participants: Data for this study was collected as part of a larger research project administered inFall 2019 [46]. Nearly twelve thousand alumni who earned engineering degrees from a large,public university in the southwestern U.S. within the past 15 years were invited to participate inan online survey via an initial invitation email and two reminder emails sent over the course of atwo-week period. All participants had the
