Future work regarding student perceptions of assessment techniques on identityformation and retention are discussed.IntroductionCourse assessments play a significant role in determining career readiness for a student enteringinto the engineering workforce. Students who perform well on these assessments and earn highacademic achievement are considered to have mastered the content knowledge and skillsnecessary for the engineering field, graduate from their programs, and become engineers. Yet,prior studies have shown that achievement discrepancies continue to persist among students withminoritized identities (e.g., women, LGBTQ

The Girl Scouts of America (GSA) is an organization that hasprioritized inclusion of STEM in their badge curricula [6]. GSA partners with Google for aprogram called “Made with Code” which encourages girls to get a head start on computerscience. Along with partnering with Google, the Girl Scouts have also introduced various STEMbadges for the Scouts to earn. Some of these badges include “What Robots Do”, “How RobotsMove”, and “Design a Robot.” These efforts are intended to promote gender

Initial results are positive, andthe project is currently experimenting with different e-portfolio formats that can elicit howstudents are developing both functionings and capabilities. One major issue that is still beingworked out is how to have a single portfolio that covers all four years of the program. The initialexperiments are thus focused on having students address different prompts each year. In the firstyear students explore various functionings in the major and identify personally relevantfunctionings. In the second year the focus is on potential careers, extending the functioningsview beyond the undergraduate program. In the third year students focus on processes ofpersonal

consistently lower scores as compared to female students [48], [52].This may be explained in part by findings that the strongest career motivation among femaleSTEM professionals is a desire to contribute to the wellbeing of society [53, p. 5]. As computerscience is as or more gender imbalanced in favor of men than many engineering disciplines [54],we expect this pattern to hold in computing as well. Hypothesis 2: Male computing students will have lower social responsibility attitude scores than female computing students.While there is clear evidence regarding the strength of the relationship between socialresponsibility attitudes and gender, less is known about the relationship between socialresponsibility attitudes and race/ethnicity

development for engineers is an essential part of career advancement and caninclude a wide variety of learning opportunities, ranging from asynchronous short courses tocomprehensive synchronous in-person courses. Adult learning theory supports the positiveinfluence of student engagement, but this engagement may be different from universityclassroom settings. There is an abundance of literature that indicates student engagement in thelearning experience is important for student learning and other important educational outcomes.There is also evidence that the adoption of engaging teaching practices in professionaldevelopment settings is limited. Much of the research on adoption is done in K-16 settings,which fails to address the impact among a
Criterion 5c: “a professional education component that is consistent with theinstitution’s mission and the program educational objectives and promotes diversity, equity, andinclusion awareness for career success” and adding to Criterion 6 the language “The programfaculty must demonstrate awareness and abilities appropriate to providing an equitable andinclusive environment for its students, and knowledge of appropriate institutional policies ondiversity, equity, and inclusion” [13]. Furthermore, regional accreditation bodies such as theHigher Learning Commission require universities to demonstrate that their “processes andactivities demonstrate inclusive and equitable treatment of diverse populations” [14]. Theintegration of new practices and
lesser emphasis on social and ethical skill developmentmay reflect student preferences [4]. In their survey of 6,176 undergraduate students (39%majoring in STEM, 26.5% beginning in STEM and then changing their major to another field,and 30% never majoring in STEM), they found that those students that remained in STEMreported that their career goals were more important than social change, a response which wasnot reported by their non-STEM peers. This is a concerning result, when we consider theprofound responsibilities that accompany the role of an engineer. As Nair and Bullet propose [5],it is necessary to create an educational experience that allows for ethical considerations “to bebrought up naturally”. In this way, we allow for the students

Thepurpose of this office is to “educate, recruit, and retain underrepresented populations in STEMfields through mentoring, academic coaching, counseling, and academic enrichment.” Amongtheir offerings is a summer program called PEER/WISE Experience (PWE). PWE is aimed atentering freshmen who have declared a major in a STEM discipline. It is a three-week, three-credit-hour residential program where students get to experience college life, albeit within amuch more structured setting. (See Appendix A for a typical daily/weekly schedule.)There have been several such programs at Clemson over the past 30 years, with the

understanding of the processes that go intoengineering. We did this all through the supersize rocket bus project. We were taught thefundamental engineering knowledge that we will need for our future in this career. Using the data,we collected from the launches, we learned about excel, numerical integration, graphing, andcalculations. Although the first data set was inconclusive, the other two sets of data were able tocreate data that made accurate distance, speed, and velocity. The inconclusive data did stillprovide a necessary engineering lesson which is that all data cannot be conclusive. Some will notwork out and that why we do multiple trials. Along with data, we also learned many skills that willbe useful for our engineering career. Teamwork and

Similar to its relationship with undergraduate academic success, spatialability is a profitable asset for professionals engaged in STEM careers [7], [9]. Research hasfound that spatial ability can be learned through targeted interventions, exposure to spatiallanguage, and participation in spatial activities [10], [11]. Furthermore, once learned, spatialability is malleable and can be maintained and developed over time [12]. This is particularlypromising in the context of developing targeted interventions aimed at fostering spatial ability.Of particular interest to the
