alone.Kayla’s NarrativeOne of the reasons that I was drawn to the company was because the recruiters were explicitabout how important it was to have women working in engineering firms. A lot of companiesprobably say that, but I really felt like they genuinely meant it because they did have a lot offemale engineers working for them. My company took pride in hiring lots of female engineeringstaff. I had one supervisor, whose name is Amy and then her supervisor who I was also incontact with, Jane. They were the two primary people that I talked to.I was working on one project, primarily, and I would just do kind of the odds and ends on otherprojects. I worked on things that were not busy work, but also did not need critical engineeringskills, obviously

furtheruse their perspectives for more informed intervention design.In this work in progress paper, the findings that are presented are a part of an ongoing NSFfunded project to understand how to get more Black male engineers to pursue advanced degreesin engineering and go into the engineering professoriate. Of the research questions that are a partof the ongoing work: 1) What factors influenced Black males to pursue graduate degrees inengineering? 2) What assets/strengths do Black males possess who persist or plan to continue inengineering beyond undergraduate studies? Only research question 1 will be explored in thispaper. This manuscript provides a brief review of the literature and overview of the study’smethodology. Findings are then presented

Engineering, all first-year students follow a commoncurriculum, as part of a “Cornerstone to Capstone” curriculum design adopted in 2015. TheCornerstone course is taken in the students’ first year, and uses projects to emphasize the ways inwhich engineering can develop practical problem-solving applications. The course was carefullydesigned to help first-year students achieve success in the program regardless of the specificengineering major they select in their second year. The program has been continually reevaluatedand redesigned over the past several years, and the addition of the information literacy workshophas been one step in Cornerstone’s evolution.

This work explores the relationshipbetween stigma of mental illness and help-seeking attitudes of engineering students usingresponses from an online survey from 79 students at two institutions. Results show a negativecorrelation that suggest that higher general stigma levels are associated with lower help-seekingattitudes. In addition, the relationship between students’ engineering department diversityorientation and help-seeking attitudes differed between those who had experiences with MHCand those who did not, suggesting that the perceptions of diversity orientation might also differamong the two groups.

In this citational analysis, we suggest that the limited citationof Black women should be interrogated and redressed as a form of inequity. Framing this projectwithin the politics of citation and the current campaign to #CiteBlackWomen, we work toexplore how the term “intersectional” has been embraced, whose theories have been adopted,ignored

Class time can be dedicated for mini lectures to help scaffolding the problem, class discussions or students reporting (Norman & Schmidt, 1992; Weiss, 2003). Students learning in problem-based learning is self- directed, with the instructor playing the role of a facilitator (a coach, or a “guide on the side”) (Duch, Groh & Allen, 2001; Tan, 2003) 10 • Project-based learning: Project

The course meets twice aweek for two hours each and relies heavily on team-based, hands-on activities and projects tohelp students learn the course material. Additionally, the course uses a flipped classroomapproach, where students watch assigned videos or read selected chapters from the textbookprior to attending class and spend most of class time
