We know comparatively little about whichspecific characteristics of postsecondary institutions are associated with women’srepresentation in STEM fields overall (but see [13], [26]), never mind specific STEM fields,such as CS&E. Our approach is also informed by Fox et al.’s [13] recent work, whichsuggests that gendered organizational dynamics and initiatives play out vividly at the sub-unitlevel (college/department/program), depending on the centrality and status of a particular unitwithin the academic institution.

, we tested our prototype in water. Twodifferent environments were utilized to test the fish including a tub filled with water (Figure 5)and a pond (Figure 6). In the small tub, a pencil was drilled through the head of the fish tostabilize the head and only allow movement to the body and tail. Once the stationary actuationwas validated, the fish was placed into a pond to test its movement. Testing the soft robotic fishin a pond helped gain information on how fast and how far the fish swam, and whether or not thefish could stay afloat. After testing, it was found that the fish swam at a speed of approximately0.09 m/s. Using syringes to control hydraulic actuation led to slowing down the fish’s movementand making it difficult for the fish’s tail

departments, suggests that engineering culture can shift if programs, schools, anddepartments actually enact the university’s espoused DEI values.Contrasting with the primarily descriptive approach taken by researchers cited above, Bates and hercolleagues invoke Schein’s model of culture in a more agentic manner. Their paper documents thedevelopment of two new project-based engineering programs seeking accreditation.18 Their intention to“build a more inclusive culture for tomorrow’s engineers” differs from Godfrey and Parker’s use ofculture as a vehicle for ethnographic insight about an existing institutional context.18 Bates et al.’s callfor change urges us to view engineering culture as malleable.

The most common feedback from the students was to move theproject and group selection earlier in the program so that expert talks could be arranged thatdirectly apply to their selected topic area(s) and/or to provide them more time for their projects.

In this exercise students, using post-it-notes, generate ideas on how might they solvethe problem to meet the user needs identified in “Define”. Students then got the opportunity tomeet with Milwaukee Bucks representatives to ask questions to validate their thoughts on usersand how they might solve the problem.The next step was Sketching. Using the Crazy 8’s [19] method of sketching, students engaged intwo rounds of sketching where they
