joke back, they really don’t mind that, they’re used to, or have gotten used to it whether they like it or not they, they’ve learned, adapted to that situation and are fine. And then the people that it really bothers, um, I think that’s, that’s difficult (Female faculty)The issue seemed beyond some of the faculty members’ comfort levels: Yes…I don’t think engineers are traditionally very good about addressing some of the touchier issues, and I would certainly not feel comfortable. If I had to do it, I’d give it a good shot, but I’d rather just have them know that I don’t want to hear that kind of language, but I don’t want to discuss precisely what it is I don’t want to hear.

Such values mightbe self-realization, creativity and innovation, working with people and helping others.”14 For theengineering identity to resonate with civic-minded Millennial females, it must convey the roleengineers play in fostering a strong sense of community, both local and global.3.

Encourage a broader understanding among graduate students of the range of choices, opportunities and challenges that women must navigate, and of the impact of culture, community and context on women, whether in their personal lives, in higher education, or in the workplace. 2. Encourage and support the development of community among graduate students.The program met six times (approximately bi-weekly) during the spring semester of 2014 in alarge conference room in the College of Engineering. Discussion sessions were held duringlunch time (12:00 p.m. until 2:00 p.m.) and participants were free to come and to leave duringthat timeframe based on their individual schedules. Three of the

While this initial objective continuesto be important, the program has had numerous other benefits to both students and faculty. Withthis overall objective in mind, sub-objectives were developed to support the mentorshipexperience to assist and encourage the student participants to: • Form relationships with faculty and connect with upperclassmen and others within their departments and the

Students participate in various hands-on, minds-on exercises designed to enhance applied STEM skills for managing enterprise systems. We target students who are interested in information technology from disciplines such as computer science, information systems, engineering, accounting/finance, and marketing. Corporate participants in past years have included: BB&T, John Deere, IBM, Cisco, Red Hat, Bank of America, Clear Blade, First Citizens Bank, Fidelity Investment, and Northrop Grumman, to name just a few sponsors. High schools participating include students from Greensboro, Winston-Salem

But I am wondering whether the story the administrator is telling alsoallows for other versions of becoming an engineer. The story doesn’t demand outright that Iconform but there is a tacit hostility in the way other points of view are unacknowledged andexcluded, like the feeling of dismissal when somebody doesn’t take the trouble to learn yourname.After telling us about our importance to the economy, the administrator then tells us how exactlywe are important: “The role of technology, and the infusion of technology in our society, has just become limitless, right?”To my mind, these comments even seem to
