This trendheld true with Ben and Manuela who strongly agreed with this statement in both the pre- andposttests.Lastly, students’ self-ratings of their global competency levels are important in determiningwhether they recognize others from different cultures. Students’ scores taken after thesimulations were nearly always 4 or 5 out of a 5-point scale. For instance, Ben rated himself a5 out of 5 in his level of global competence. He said he would like to think himself as an open-minded and culturally-aware person and that the simulation helped enforce these skills.

Engineering, in its adoption of mind-body dualisms as part of itsconstruction of objectivity, is able to ignore these experiences or render them unrecognizable.Theories of embodiment in Queer and Disability Studies can confront this disembodiment anduncover how it supports heteronormative able-bodiedness.To understand how

With that in mind, we next examine whether selecting a specific discipline at Page 23.1192.4matriculation has a similar effect.If connectedness improves retention, then we might hypothesize that students who immediately“connect” with a specific discipline should be more likely to stay in engineering. Comparingstudents who matriculate without designating a discipline to those who matriculate in a discipline(Figure 2), we see that especially among those who are not required to take a CITE, this is indeedthe case. However, for those that do have a required CITE, the difference
