construction, researchers can holistically examine identity from theperspective of equity and power relations, thus, approaching identity with a critical andindividualized mindset [24], [25]. Esteban-Guitart and Moll asserted identity to be “historicallyaccumulated, culturally developed, and socially distributed” [17], the definitions of which wereoperationalized in the results section below. Therefore, as international students generally havecomplex cultural backgrounds and forms of capital, we utilize the Funds of Identity theory toexamine their academic identities and understand what they consider valuable and the most-needed forms of capital to support their academic and career pursuits.MethodologyWe conducted a phenomenological study [20

Thedecision to implement a cohort structure was made to (1) establish engagement throughcollaboration, (2) increase retention, (3) provide supportive model for academic success, and (4)aid in the transition to a research university. In addition to providing students with a peer-drivensupport system, the cohort also models positive collaboration to enhance students’ ability towork as a team which is vital in preparing students for a successful career (Lei et al., 2011).Finally, peer relationships impact students’ access to academic support and as a result, thecollaborative learning structure of a cohort can positively affect student learning and increaseretention (Doolen & Biddlecombe, 2014).While all scholarship

Improving Engineering Transfer Student Onboarding and Retention through Scholarship and Programmatic InterventionsAbstractStudents' incentives for attending community colleges include affordable tuition, flexibleschedule, opportunity to explore interests, and smaller class sizes. Community colleges providethe foundation for a bachelor's degree, vocational training, career certificates, and associatedegrees. Universities offer community college students the opportunity to advance their careerprospects by earning a bachelor's degree.In February 2021, we invited current engineering transfer students to complete a survey about theirexperiences transferring to Mississippi State University. We received 121 completed responses,representing a
Review of the Research on Gendered Socialization in Graduate Engineering EducationIntroductionAcross various contexts, socialization processes and practices have been shown to play key rolesin education and career outcomes, satisfaction, and trajectories. Numerous ways in which genderintersects with and structures socialization processes, practices, and experiences have also beenidentified. Graduate and post-graduate education in particular likely have their own socializationpatterns which influence graduate student experience and outcomes. We are interested in theintersection of gender and socialization in graduate education.In this paper, we examine the research landscape of gendered socialization in a graduateengineering

Engagement with College Student MentorsAbstractResearch on gender differences in career interests has found that by adolescence, girls arereported to be less interested in science and engineering than boys. The leaky pipeline is apopular simplified metaphor to describe the reasons for the observed gender disparity, slowlyremoving potential candidates from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)as they age through the academic system. Although numerous formal and informal programshave been developed to “plug” this leak with role models, what is not well understood is thepotential role models’ effect on student’s STEM attitudes over time. To address this limitation, along-term continuous mentoring and tutoring program was developed

the lack of diversity within the engineering profession; female students and students of colorremain underrepresented in STEM majors and STEM careers [2]. The population of studentswho major in the STEM fields and who enter STEM careers do not reflect current demographicsof the United States population. Despite progress in gender and racial equity in STEM careers,STEM fields have historically been and continue to be dominated by white men, particularly inengineering, computer sciences, and physics [2]. For example, although women and men receiveundergraduate degrees at about the same rate, women account for only 30% of all STEM degreeholders and have particularly low representation in engineering [3], holding just 12 percent ofengineering

Addressing this concern, a new undergraduate program at a largeresearch-intensive university has been developed to provide students with the time, resources,and opportunities to enhance their innovation capabilities through co-teaching and co-learningfrom faculty

I. IntroductionStudents’ motivation is an intrinsic aspect of learning and yet one of the most difficult toguarantee. Students are constantly asking themselves what the use of their classroom learningis. Most teachers are familiar with the questions: “when will I use this again?”, “why are welearning this?”, “what is it for?”. In order to answer these questions in K-12 levels, we needto go beyond the

The general research question addressedby this program was: could the quality of an individual’s adult mentor support network be used asan alternative indicator of potential collegiate and career success? The overall program soughtqualified students that had expressed a desire for engineering in their initial application to theuniversity, but had been offered admission into an undeclared major / exploratory studies program.Our process selected individuals that were determined to be “thickly-webbed” than their peers andhad numerous quality mentors in their lives that were encouraging them to excel in their academicpursuits (Baldwin et al., 2022). Students accepted into the program were given a modest scholarship amount that
optimize team effectiveness. It was found that the best teams are those with ahigh average social sensitivity, not necessarily the teams that had the smartest individuals. Thisrealization prompted efforts within Google to promote communication and empathy as a meansof improving the psychological safety felt by team members.These studies, and others showing similar conclusions (for example [3]-[4]), should give pauseto engineering educators. The suggestion is that solely helping students learn technicalengineering content is perhaps different than helping students to become effective engineers.While technical content is important, there are other skills that are of significance for theengineer in their career.
