A Systematized Literature Review ofLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+)STEM PractitionersHéctor Rodríguez-Simmonds Héctor is committed to fostering a culture of support and empowerment for LGBTQ+ students in STEM by using asset- based frameworks to investigate their experiences at the intersection of their identities.Kevin Jay Kaufman-Ortiz (Graduate Student) Kevin Jay Kaufman-Ortiz is from Hormigueros, Puerto Rico. He is an identical triplet, was raised with his brothers in the small town of Hormigueros. He picked up on interests in origami, music, engineering, and
served as the evaluator for several NSF-funded programs aimed at improving diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM education. Emily earned a PhD and MA in Sociology from the University of Washington, and a BA in Sociology from Smith College. Emily approaches her work with the intention to use her positions of privilege to challenge white supremacy and contribute to building a more just world. In doing so, she acknowledges the risk that her own blind spots and persistent biases could surface in her research, and invites continued discussion of research findings and implications with this in mind. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2022 Powered by

scores among the top five rankedcompetencies was surprisingly marginal (10 points), especially noting that the experts could listup to ten of any competencies that came to mind. The top five most important competenciescontained a tie for the highest ranked and the overall scores between ranks #3 and #6 onlydiffered by three points (see Table 1). An explanation for this similarity in overall points is thatcompetencies such as Communication and Teamwork are relatively more studied in theengineering education research community than other competencies. For example, thesecompetencies are also present in the ABET criteria for student outcomes [11] and the NationalAcademy of Engineering's key factors for engineering student success in meeting the

I think there isn't really a set mold for an engineer.Often, when defining a new and complex concept, its easiest to start with what that thing is notand then move towards describing what it is, and we found the students often describing whoengineers are not. We must also remember that, though these students have heard their instructorsdescribe engineering/engineers to them many times, they likely have had few or no situationswhere someone has asked them to describe it themselves.What Engineers DoThe students emphasized “people” when reflecting on how engineers

stuff together. You know, if you fill your class time with interaction with the students that would give them permission to make mistakes and for you to correct them. If all you’re doing is transferring information, all that time is gone. You’re not left with any time to get them to acquire this so-called judgement. DLDiscussion and ConclusionsIn terms of particular cognitive behaviours that educators need to help students nurture, thiswork supports the notion that in order for students to develop their engineering judgement,they need to have an enquiring mind (to unpack the problem and then ask the right follow-upquestions).

Does the teaching of sociotechnical inquiry methods alter engineering students’ habits of mind, and, if so, in what ways? We use the AAAS [20] definition of “habits of mind,” including the values, attitudes, and skills that they associate with engineering. RQ3. To support students’ development of sociotechnical inquiry methods, can the methods used from the investigative team’s prior research on sociotechnical integration be transferred to different classes in two different majors and

clients. [Student 2] When I think of the word ‘civil’, I think of ‘for the people’ and associate civil engineers with being public servants …. I think that makes it all the more infuriating when we talked about instances like the Tampa Interstate System or the Isle de Jean Charles where civilians are unable to improve their living situation or had it degraded because civil engineers dropped the ball. The profession is far more important than just sitting in an office doing calculations or drawing plans, because if used correctly, your impact on society can be incredibly positive.

approachimplemented in the course could activate students’ conation, especially among the currentgeneration-Z. Answering this question will also provide engineering academics with anapproach to activate conation among students in a typical classroom.Overview in Conation Besides the affective and cognitive domains, the conative domain, which is a domainof behaviours associated with striving, is one of the essential pieces in the human mind modelon learning. According to American Heritage Dictionary of English Language [15],[16],conation is defined as mental processes that direct behavior and/or action, including impulse,desire, volition, and striving [1], [16]. McDougall stated that conation is how we strive,endeavour, pay attention, focus, work hard

who can effectively address sustainabilitytopics; it is academia’s responsibility to infuse environmentally and socially responsibleengineering into the curriculum.With this responsibility in mind, our group of faculty members in the Mechanical Engineeringand the Civil and Environmental Engineering departments at an R1 public institution took on thetask of adding course modifications to required undergraduate courses in these departments. Wewill track how the student culture toward environmentally or socially responsible engineeringchanges over time. To track changes and, at this point in time, to collect baseline data, a surveyinstrument was created and has been distributed to 1st year, 3rd year, and 4th year students everysemester since

This issupported by the idea that manipulatives help control the connections of one’s mind and solidifyabstractions by providing a situated example [13]. When implementing outcomes of priorresearch on GDT instruction, and considering engineering and technology students’ haptictendencies, the use of physical objects in instruction on GDT could enhance understanding of atopic that is difficult to portray simply with visual images.Proposed MethodsIn the second graphics

specifically or exclusively.Instead, the experiences and identity formation processes described by our participants occurwithin a larger culture of engineering that seeks to erase difference [27] and that operates onimplicit assumptions of meritocracy – that anyone “capable” of succeeding in an engineeringprogram will, and will succeed ‘on their own merits' (e.g., [28]). Therefore, we must instill alarger culture change in engineering education that recognizes that systems of education, as wecurrently know, structure, and implement them, were not created with students with disabilitiesin mind. In some instances, these institutions were created to intentionally exclude anddiscourage students with disabilities from pursuing degrees in higher education

those writing andreading them. Essentially, genre is not static but evolves in time, mutually shaped by and withthe context and participants. If that is the case, students need to understand the full context thatcreates a need for a particular genre rather than simply learning the genre. With this in mind, theFellows began to ask: how does teaching writing need to shift for the engineering educator? Howcan they model for students writing and communicating as evolving from engineering practiceand therefore as a part of engineering identity rather than separated from it? To guide the Fellow’s discussion around this evolution away from teaching engineeringstudents writing with genre as a template, the Writing Center Director suggested reading
