In addition, while scholars and accrediting bodies have worked to defineengineering design, the extent to which these definitions reflect the students’ understanding ofengineering design is less clear. This paper aims to provide insight into student perceptions ofdesign by discussing the results of a survey that asked both first year and capstone undergraduatecivil engineering students to identify the components of several design and engineering designdefinitions that resonated most strongly with their experience and understanding of engineeringas a profession. In addition to sharing the results of this study, we review the literature on waysto expand student understanding of engineering design and provide recommendations, along

(Westcoast Women in Engineering, Science &Technology, 2014; Cheryana et al., 2020; Funk, 2018) Despite high academic capability, thesebarriers hinder their engagement. Current frameworks seldom address these gendered dynamics,revealing a gap in supporting equitable technical education experiences.

Theincrease in the Hispanic population is also reflected in college enrollment and the workforce.STEM fields saw a rise of 56% in Hispanic enrollment, and Black enrollment increased by 36%between 2017 and 2021 [3]. Even though the Hispanic/Latino population keeps growing, there arefew role models to follow in the STEM field. Added to the lack of role models in a continuallydiversified college population, a high STEM student attrition [4] shows that a lack of diversifiedpathways to degree completion is a roadblock to completion by Hispanics who could qualify asnontraditional students.

Therefore, students should haveadditional opportunities to expand their understanding of what engineers actually do.It would be appropriate to state that most early college engineering students obtain many of theirimpressions of engineering from outreach programs and STEM-based courses on the secondaryand higher education levels. Some students may develop a broader view of engineering throughtechnical internships or cooperative experiences, but these opportunities are generally availableonly after the first or second year of college, when they have already committed to theengineering path of study. Therefore, we challenge the faculty of introductory engineeringcourses to consider how one or more brief reflective activities could expand their
