Because I know I love doing stuff like thiswhere I'm just making little knots and just knitting.” Similarly, Madison talked about how shesees her sewing projects as a part of engineering, saying, “I’m always going to be crafting inwhatever medium, but the want to do something with your hands and just make something isdefinitely connected to engineering.” These statements illustrate that prior experience withcrafting may be a pathway for students into engineering disciplines that students perceive ashands-on and correlates with prior research that exposure to craft technologies can shift students’mindsets about who can be a programmer or engineer [13].Discussion and ConclusionFrom these responses
exploration of data in this paper. This theory is atechnology-focused version of the traditional gendered dualism theories which stereotype variousactions and qualities with masculine and feminine traits [6]. The theory of technical dualismproposes that gender is divided and associates masculine instrumentalism with technology-focused traits and feminine expressiveness with people-focused traits. Within the theory, thesedistinctions are mutually exclusive, and individuals are seen to either have a greater enthusiasmfor technology-focused traits or people-focused traits based on their gender [6], [12]. This theorydefines the core of the engineering identity as “tinkering” with things and working almostexclusively with technology – both traits being

[12, 13, 14]. In their interviews and observations of civil andstructural engineers, Kent and Noss [13] found that, while they anticipated engineers wouldexplicitly reference complex mathematical practices, many engineers indicated that they rarelyused the advanced mathematics learned during their formal education. Instead, they relied oncomputational tools to handle complex calculations in engineering design. Kent et al. [15] latercharacterized this phenomenon as techno-mathematical literacy (TmL), a concept thatencompasses mathematical, information technology (IT), and workplace-specific competenciesneeded to interpret abstract information and make informed decisions. TmL suggests that usingmathematics in engineering is more about
