Engineers in Leadership Participation in engineering for Black students has been stagnantly low for several yearsnow [1], despite the heightened attention towards diversity and inclusion in the field. One areawhere this trend is especially prevalent is within engineering leadership. When you think ofBlack leaders, do any Black engineering leaders come to mind? There has been a recent uptick inCEOs with engineering backgrounds, such as Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Apple's Tim Cook, andAlphabet's Larry Page. In 2009, Ursula Burns became the first Black woman engineer CEO of aFortune 500 company when she took on the role with IBM. However, when she left her positionin 2016, she left a void of Black engineers occupying the C-suite of major companies

inconvenient situations. They must be open-minded, flexible, and willing to adjust their working practices to perform their job.2. Create Resources (in Role Clarity, Task Mastery, and Workgroup Integration): Newly-hired engineers create resources when they find current resources lacking. Sometimes, the resources they need do not exist. Other times, resources are deficient in quality, so the newly- hired engineer feels the need to improve the provided resource. These resources are meant to either help themselves or future employees. After creating such resources, the newly-hired engineer continually refers to the created resource as a guide or aid in performing their job. They either provide the resource to the organization, to benefit

, students havea tendency to rely on “old solutions over innovation and possible improvement” (p. 767). Inaddition, students felt that they were not taught to have an open mind while solving problemsand did not develop multiple solutions. The findings of the same study also revealed that whencompared to students in humanities and sciences, engineering students were the ones who hadthe most “room for creativity improvement”. Research shows that students who value creativity in engineering design tasks andbelieve that they are creative, are more likely to generate creative solutions when solving designproblems [5]. As such, in the teaching of creativity in engineering students, faculty andpractitioners play an important role. Engineering

These exercises include: 1) opening the focus group by having studentstalk about their challenges; 2) transitioning to an index card activity where students write good andbad things they have experienced in their context; 3) shifting the conversation from challenges tohow

The mindsets andprocesses central to reflection align with those of design, namely, to identify problems, ideatesolutions, develop prototypes, test alternatives, and evaluate outcomes with a mind toward futureimprovements and opportunities. Just as design work is done by teams, reflection best happenswhen situated in community conversations where learning and the growth of all is valued [13].As students engage in community-centered reflection, they practice the skills necessary tobecome lifelong learners and engineers who can create impactful designs that serve society’sneeds [12], [14].In this work, we describe plans to extend our current pilot study [15] to include a set of

With this in mind, the first-year engineeringprogram is set up to introduce the students to all the engineering majors offered at BinghamtonUniversity. Each semester our students take two linked courses, an introduction to engineeringcourse and an engineering communication course. One of the goals of these courses is to givestudents a better understanding of the engineering majors, so they can make a more informeddecision, when they declare their major.This paper presents the culmination of a five-year investigation into the students’ declarations. Itbegan in the 2016/2017 academic year with an anonymous survey at the start of the fall semesterwith two, multiple

This can become more of achallenge for regional campuses in which affordability is a driving part of the value propositionfor incoming students.
